Chapter 13 - The Trial Concludes
The following month, the federal trial of The United States v. Grant Whitmore & Sabrina Cole reached its final conclusion.
In the packed Manhattan federal courtroom, the judge delivered a harsh, uncompromising verdict.
Grant Whitmore was sentenced to twelve years in a federal penitentiary for grand larceny, wire fraud, and corporate embezzlement. Sabrina Cole was sentenced to four years in a medium-security facility for her role as a co-conspirator in money laundering.
Marcus Hayes was stripped of his corporate licenses and sentenced to six years.
