Pittsburgh man sentenced to 18 months for wire fraud scheme
Daniel J. Isabella Jr., 30, was sentenced in federal court to 18 months imprisonment, with three years of supervised release to follow, on his conviction of wire fraud.
According to information presented to the court, from January through September of 2012, Isabella advertised online the sale of tickets to entertainment events. Although Isabella had no tickets to these events, potential purchasers were instructed to send money for the advertised tickets.
Isabella defrauded over 250 potential ticket purchasers of over $70,000. Assistant United States Attorney Shardul S. Desai prosecuted this case on behalf of the government.
U.S. Attorney David J. Hickton commended the Federal Bureau of Investigation for the investigation leading to the successful prosecution of Isabella.
Isabella’s sentence was imposed by United States District Judge Nora Barry Fischer.
Isabella’s case is an example of the FBI’s ongoing efforts to combat online scams and protect consumers.
