FLINT, Mich. -- A Grand Blanc man was sentenced to serve up to a
maximum of 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to two counts of
embezzlement over $100,000.
Jason Bescoe, 48, was sentenced Wednesday.
Genesee
County Prosecutor David Leyton said Bescoe swindled at least 10 clients
of more than $4 million in a fraudulent financial investment scheme.
The
Genesee County Sheriff’s Office received a complaint about Bescoe in
2017. There were allegations that he was embezzling money from clients
who had trusted him to handle their financial investments.
“Embezzlement cases can be complex with thousands of documents and
records to sort through, analyze, and piece together,” said Leyton. “I
am pleased that with a lot of hard work by my staff and investigators
from the Genesee County Sheriff Office’s Elder Abuse Task Force we were
able to convict Jason Bescoe and hold him accountable for his actions
while at the same time securing restitution for victims who had stood to
lose a lot of their hard earned money."
