The Beginning of Justice

This is one that we have to share! The final defendant has been found guilty on all charges. Joyce Allen, responsible for bringing us into the Ponzi scheme, was found guilty by 9 women and 3 men on all 11 counts of financial fraud including conspiracy to commit mail fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering.

Read some about it here.....knoxnews.com .

At this time we don't know if the judge will allow Joyce Allen to remain free until the sentencing in January. Perhaps this will bring a little amount of closure to some. Now we can pray for continued justice to be served for the victims.

So with this posting - ALL defendants have been found guilty or plead guilty.

An additional note.... Joyce Allen's sentencing hearing has been set for Jan. 13, 2015. Although prosecution requested her to be held pending her hearing the Judge Varlan struck a compromise and has allowed her to remain free but ordered her to submit to electronic monitoring and to be largely confined to her house. He also warned her that should she decide to flee, the odds are high that the U.S. Marshals Service will find her.
