Two Iowa Business Men Get Prison Terms

A Johnson County judge this week sentenced two men to 18 months for a nationwide theft scheme that prosecutors say took more than $1 million from elderly customers.

Johnson County businessman Hermann Wilms, 74, and Kenneth Opstein, 86, of Sioux City, Iowa, each pleaded no contest previously to four felonies of making false information and to four misdemeanors.

Thank you for pleading no contest and saving the cost of a trial, at least.

What about court ordered resitution?

Two old men? How long have they been at this?

It was a nationwide scheme so I would think that would bring more prison time.
