Pennsylvania Cash Back Mortgage Fraud Scammer Gets 14 Years In Federal Pen
- Mickey Allen Weicksel, a former Lancaster real estate investor who obtained about $4 million in kickbacks through a real estate scam, was sentenced Tuesday to 14 years in prison. Federal District Judge Barclay Surrick in Philadelphia also sentenced Weicksel, 40, to serve five years probation after his release from prison and ordered him to pay $750,324 in restitution. Weicksel was convicted in March 2006 of 14 counts of wire fraud, three counts of bank fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering. Weicksel will join his former business partner, Barrylee Paul Beers, in federal prison. Beers, who previously pleaded guilty to wire fraud, bank fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering, is serving a four-year prison term.
Beers and Weicksel purchased more than 100 properties in the Lancaster area. For more, see Man gets prison for house scam.
