SPORTS HOST MCKINNEY SENTENCED TO PRISON

(February 24, 2009) A Florida sports talk show host has been sentenced to five years in prison for bilking investors out of thousands of dollars by convincing them he was going to syndicate his program nationally.
Charles "Scott" McKinney pleaded guilty to multiple counts of theft and fraud last month. At his sentencing Tuesday, McKinney was also ordered to pay nearly $190,000 in restitution. Prosecutors say the Star Broadcasting commentator sold more than double the number of investment shares than existed in Southern Sports Tonight, a program he co-hosted on weekday afternoons. McKinney reportedly told investors he needed money to buy broadcast equipment, but actually spent it on himself. His attorney asked for a suspended sentence so he could pay back investors. |
