Alan Grayson lost $18 million to Virginia-based fake investor McLEAN, Va. (AP) - U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson of Florida lost $18 million in a scheme that cheated him and about 120 other inves- tors out of more than $35 million, accordingto court papers. The Virginia man who ran the scheme, William Dean Chapman, was sentenced Friday in federal court to 12 years in prison. Pros- ecutors say Chapman used the money to fund a lavish lifestyle including a Lamborghini, a Fer- rari and a $3 million home. In most of the court papers, Grayson's identity is protected - prosecutors say only that an elected official with the initials A.G. was the primary victim - but documents twice mention Grayson by name. The Demo- cratic congressman on Monday confirmed he is the A.G. men- tioned in the documents. Nothing in the court papers suggests Grayson was anything but a victim of the scheme. Gray- son, a former trial attorney, said he has had a long record for picking winning stocks, which formed the basis for his personal fortune. The scheme worked like this: clients would turn over their stocks to Chapman as collateral for a loan, and Chapman would let customers borrow about 90 percent of the stocks' value. If the stocks did badly, bor- rowers could walk away and keep the money they were loaned. But if the borrowers' stocks did well, they would repay the loan with interest, and Chapman was sup- posed to return the stocks to the investor at their increased value. But, according to court papers, Chapman sold the stocks and had -an,, no way to fulfill his obligations if a client's stock portfolio did well. "That's why (Chapman) is going to prison for a long, long time," Grayson said. "At least in the end, some kind of justice was served." In Grayson's case, his stocks performed astronomically well while they were entrusted to Chapman and his company, Alexander Capital Markets. Lawyers for Chapman said it was the strength of Grayson's stocks that caused Chapman's scheme to crumble. Chapman and Grayson negotiated a pay- ment plan, according to court records, but it was not enough to keep Chapman's positions from collapsing. "Because the return on A.G.'s commodities investments were so astronomical, ACM could not meet its obligations under the loan agreements," defense law- yer Whitney Minter wrote. In 2007, Grayson had $9.35 million in a stock portfolio that Chapman was supposed to be holding as collateral. In that year alone, the portfolio's value increased by 147 percent, to $23 million, according to a ch:' -in thl court documents. Chapman's lawyer did not immediately return a call. Chap- man, of Sterling, Va., pleaded guilty in May buttried at Friday's sentencing hearing to withdraw the plea, saying he felt pressured to plead and that he never intend- ed to defraud. It is not the first time Grayson, who represents parts of the Orlando area, has lost tens of millions of dollars in a fraud scheme. In 2009, he won a $34 million judgment after filing a lawsuit in South Carolina under federal racketeering laws against a company called Derivium Capital. Derivium's business plan for hedging an investor's stock profile was nearly identical to the plan outline by Chapman. Grayson said he first entered into deals with Chapman in 2003, well before the deal with Disgraced official bound to home for probationary period SAN DIEGO (AP) - When he was mayor of San Diego, Bob Filner waited to be alone with women to kiss, grope and man- handle them without any wit- nesses, accordingto a probation officer's report released after he was sentenced Monday to home confinement. Filner, 71, apologized and told the judge he would try to earn the trust of those he betrayed and recover his integrity - a sharp contrast to his defiant resignation speech nearly four months ago in which he said he was the victim of "a lynch mob." His attorney Jerry Coughlan said Filner dropped mood-alter- ing medications when he became mayor. That, combined with the stress of leading the nation's eighth-largest city, substantially contributed to Filner's behavior, Coughlan wrote to the judge. Superior Court Judge Rob- ert Trentacosta sentenced Fil- ner to three months of home confinement and three years of probation - the same punish- ment that prosecutors had rec- ommended in a plea agreement reached in October. "I want to apologize to my family, who have stood by me through this ordeal, to my loyal staff and supporters, the citizens of San Diego and most sincerely to the women I have hurt and offended," Filner told the judge in a brief statement. "Certainly the behaviors before this court today will never be repeated." Filner had faced a maximum possible penalty of three years in prison for a felony count of false imprisonment and one year in jail for each of two misdemeanor counts of battery. The former 10-term con- gressman cannot seek or hold elected office while on proba- tion and will be monitored by GPS during home confinement, which begins Jan. 1. The three victims in the com- plaint, who were not named, declined to attend the sentenc- ing and didn't seek restitu- tion, according to the probation report. One said she wished Fil- ner would be sentenced to three months in jail and would leave San Diego, while the others had no opinion on an appropriate punishment. Nearly 20 women have public- ly identified themselves as targets of Filner's unwanted advances, including kissing, groping and requests for dates. His accus- ers include a retired Navy rear admiral, a San Diego State Uni- versity dean and a great-grand- mother who volunteers her time to answer the questions of senior citizens at City Hall. Filner, who is twice divorced, pleaded guilty to the - felony for what the probation report described as putting a woman in a headlock after a dinner party on March 6 and attempting to kiss her on the lips. The woman, identified as a longtime Filner acquaintance, told authorities that he kissed her eye and she elbowed him to get free. He pleaded guilty to a mis- demeanor for kissing a woman on the lips without permission at a "Meet the Mayor" event on April 6, according to the proba- tion report. The woman, who came to report alleged financial improprieties, told authorities the mayor had asked an aide to leave the curtain-shielded cubi- cle where they met. The other misdemeanor involved grabbing another wom- an's buttocks at a May 25 rally to clean up Fiesta Island in Mission Bay. The probation report says the woman was posing with the mayor for a photograph taken by her mother. "Clearly, the defendant's efforts to avoid detection by wit- nesses suggest he was aware his behaviors and intended actions were wrong and most certainly inappropriate," Charles Ledbet- ter, a San Diego County senior probation officer, wrote in his report. Filner disappeared from pub- lic view after leaving office Aug. 30, less than nine months into a four-year term. His attorney said Filner has been jogging daily, attending two counseling ses- sions a week and relying on fam- ily for moral support. He said Filner hoped to write about his experiences as a 1960s civil rights activistand member of Congress. Filner was undergoing psy- chiatric counseling and tak- ing medications prescribed by congressional doctors "to help stabilize his mood and safe- guard his mental health," but he dropped medications after becoming mayor, Coughlan wrote to the judge. The attor- ney didn't elaborate on Filner's mental health issues in his memo and didn't immediately respond to a phone message seeking further comment. The charges do not involve Filner's former communications director, Irene McCormack Jack- son, who expedited the mayor's downfall by becomingth..irstto go public with sexual harassneit allegations in July. She sued Fil- ner and the city, claiming her boss asked her to work without pant- ies, demanded kisses and dragged herin aheadlock. Gloria Allred, McCormack Jackson's attorney, told reporters that Filner was "one lucky man" for being spared jail time. She and McCormack Jackson sat in the front row during sentencing. Filner was elected San Diego's first Democratic mayor in 20 years, vowing to put neglect- ed neighborhoods ahead of entrenched downtown business interests. Two city councilmen seeking to replace him in a spe- cial election runoff - Republican Kevin Faulconer and Democrat David Alvarez - have embraced Filner's neighborhoods-first mantra while scarcely mention- ing the former mayor by name. *9 4 i ___._ 4
