Summary:
Anthony Linton Stewart, a Jamaican citizen, was sentenced to 84 months in prison for orchestrating a fraudulent lottery scheme that targeted U.S. citizens, particularly the elderly. From 2010 to 2016, Stewart and his co-conspirators falsely told victims that they had won a large amount of money and prizes in a lottery that was non-existent. Victims were tricked into sending money to cover fictitious taxes and fees, and they never received any winnings. Stewart repeatedly contacted victims as long as they continued to send money. Stewart was also ordered to pay over $1.1 million in restitution.
