"Haverhill man gets five years in mortgage scam
A Haverhill man has been sentenced to five years in prison and eight years of probation for cheating a Lawrence couple out of $24,000 in a mortgage scam. James Kyricopoulos was sentenced Monday after he was found guilty of 19 counts of larceny. The Eagle-Tribune reported that he was also ordered, once released, not to engage in providing any type of assistance to others involving money or finances. Prosecutors said the 61-year-old defendant instructed the victims to send their mortgage payments to him rather than the mortgage company. He then used the money for personal expenses, including trips to casinos. Prosecutors say he took advantage of the couple’s difficulty in reading English (AP)."
At least he won't have to go as far now.
He didn't take advantage of illegals, did he?
