The last defendant in a Utah mortgage modification scam that prosecutors say involved millions in losses has been sentenced to a year in federal prison.
U.S. District Judge Dale Kimball also ordered John McCall, of Park City, to pay nearly $416,000 in restitution for his part in the fraud. McCall, who had pleaded guilty under a deal with prosecutors, was sentenced Thursday.
A February 2015 indictment alleged that McCall and five others working with CC Brown Law LLC, which was headquartered at various locations in Salt Lake County, made false statements to persuade customers to sign up for help getting home loan modifications.
