According to the indictment, Cox devised a scheme to defraud and obtain money and property by means of materially false and fraudulent pretenses, representations, and promises from January 1, 2016, to March 28, 2016. The charge arose from an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

As part of his sentence, Cox was ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $52,250. This amount represents the total amount of money he defrauded from his victims.
