This is the sentencing that so many were waiting for.  I imagine the anticipation preceding this sentencing was due to the fact that so many people dealt with Joyce Allen directly and feel betrayed in such a deep way.

I won't post all of the information but I will provide a couple of links for those interested.  The summary is that Joyce Allen was sentenced to 30 years in prison and ordered to pay $20,711,371.72 in restitution.  She was also ordered to pay the same amount in cash - which to be honest is a little of a mystery to me but I'm sure it will all become clear in the near future.

Here's the information available now -

Paulynn Kay Wright was a loan officer for several Knoxville mortgage companies and reached a plea agreement via her attorney, Chris Irwin.  According to the plea agreement she was described as her role was described as falling between a "minimal participant" and a "minor participant."

In September 2008, she obtained a $128,000 mortgage loan by falsely stating she had an investment with Benchmark Capital Investments LLC.  The information was in a bogus verification letter she obtained in cooperation with Joyce Allen, Kay Thomas and Dona Rector.
