Sean Meadows of Meadows Financial Group was sentenced to 25 years in prison after allegedly orchestrating a Ponzi scheme that cost 55 clients $13 million. Meadows promised clients that they would receive a 10% annual return on investments allegedly made in stocks and bonds. The money instead went to Meadows to pay both business and personal expenses. Prosecutors believe that at least $100,000 went to adult entertainment establishments. Prosecutors asked for a 30 year sentence because of the manner in which Meadows preyed on his clients.
