Scammer Jailed
United States Attorney McGregor W. Scott announced today that GILBERT VARTANIAN, 37, formerly of Sacramento, was sentenced to 24 months in prison. The sentencing follows his conviction by a jury on August 7, 2007, of committing fraud on eBay, a popular Internet auction house. The jury found the defendant guilty of nine counts of mail fraud for selling sporting tickets and Rolex watches, which he failed to deliver. The defendant was ordered to make restitution to the victims of the fraud. Prior to sentencing, the defendant liquidated his retirement account and deposited approximately $27,500 with the district court to pay restitution.
