CHICAGO—(ENEWSPF)—January 24, 2015. Two defendants were sentenced yesterday to federal prison terms for an investment fraud scheme in which they swindled more than $30 million from more than 100 investors in a purported voice-over-internet telecommunications business. One defendant, GAIL HOWARD, was sentenced to seven years in prison, while her co-defendant, JAMES JEDYNAK, was sentenced to 6½ years in prison.
