MIDLAND, Mich. (AP) — A Bay City woman has been sentenced to
11 years, eight months to 20 years in prison for taking part in an
investment scheme that authorities say defrauded senior citizens out of
at least $2 million.
Midland County Circuit Judge Stephen Karras
on Thursday sentenced 40-year-old Shawn Dicken on nine felony charges
for her role in the scheme. A jury convicted her March 13.
Dicken
began working for The Diversified Group Advisory Firm LLC in 2011. Joel
Wilson owned the former investment company and also faces charges.
Wilson was arrested in Germany in January.
