An Ohio man was condemned to 20 years in jail Wednesday for claiming to be a Ghanaian prince and cheating in excess of twelve casualties out of countless dollars.
Daryl Robert Harrison, who went by Sovereign Daryl R. Attipoe and Prophet Daryl R. Attipoe, conned something like 14 individuals out of more than $800,000 as per proof displayed at his preliminary.
Harrison was sentenced in September for mail and wire misrepresentation, connivance to commit mail and wire extortion, and witness altering.
For quite a long time, Harrison took cash from individuals who accepted they were putting resources into African mining and shipping organizations, investigators said. Harrison erroneously guaranteed that he was a sovereign from Ghana and had associations with those organizations, as per the Equity Division.
A few of Harrison's casualties were gatherers of the Force to be reckoned with of Supplication Services, where Harrison and his stepfather guaranteed they were clergymen. As per examiners, Harrison and his stepfather involved the venture cash for individual costs, remembering leasing a house for Colorado and buying extravagance vehicles.
District Judge Michael J. Newman gave Harrison the most extreme sentence permitted under the law - 20 years in jail - more than the 14-year sentence examiners had requested.
"Every one of the Respondent's misrepresentation wrongdoings were perpetrated in a cool, determined and planned style," examiners wrote in court filings, portraying Harrison as an "very egotistical, confident sociopath who has no regard for cultural standards or standards, and further misses the mark on compassion or compassion toward his casualties" that "scared and undermined his casualties to lay out and keep up with command over them."
Harrison had asked the adjudicator for a much lower sentence, featuring strong letters composed by parishioners and relatives. Harrison's guard lawyer likewise noticed that his significant other, who is dealing with their six kids, is fighting stage IV malignant growth.
Harrison's stepfather, Robert Shelly Harrison, Jr., conceded to one crime accusation in December. He will be condemned in the not so distant future.
