Joey Stanton Dodson, the former executive chairman and managing partner of Citadel Energy Partners, pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud in June 2022.
The sentencing in a San Jose courtroom also included an order to serve three years of supervised release and to pay restitution in the amount of $15,636,392. According to the announcement, Dodson engaged in a scheme between November 2012 and May 2015 to defraud investors. After he made materially false and misleading representations to induce victims to invest, prosecutors said Dodson pooled the funds from the limited partnerships and conducted multiple transfers between Citadel-related accounts to divert investor funds for his own benefit and conceal his actions.
In total, prosecutors said Dodson fraudulently raised over $15.6 million from more than 50 investors and misappropriated $1.3 million in investor funds, which he used to pay for his personal expenses and to repay earlier investors in an unrelated entity known as Duke Equity.The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Sarah Griswold and Marissa Harris for the Northern District of California, along with Trial Attorney Theodore M. Kneller of the Criminal Division's Fraud Section.
Good! White collar crime is very prolific but not as widely accountable for the perpetrators! In fact five years for defrauding investors, possibly destroying their lives, is a small price to pay. Should have got at least 15 years! At least he has to pay restitution.
