- Already on the hook for a $6 million civil judgement, a Charlottesville businessman now faces a federal prison sentence for defrauding the widow of a Richmond investment banker, a western Virginia bank and a UVA fraternity.
Victor M. Dandridge III pleaded guilty Wednesday [July 19] to three criminal charges: two counts of wire fraud and one count of bank fraud.
***[I]n bilking the fraternity, Dandridge, a UVA grad, admitted to helping the organization refinance a loan on a house it owns in Charlottesville for $330,000, even though the balance on the mortgage was only $204,000. He then had the closing agent wire the difference into his personal bank account.
