ANCHORAGE—Acting U.S. Attorney Kevin Feldis announced today that Samantha Delay-Wilson of Anchorage was sentenced in federal court in Anchorage to 84 months in prison on her conviction of defrauding investors and lenders of over $5 million during the course of her more than decade-long Ponzi scheme. The 84-month sentence is to be served in addition to the more than five years Delay-Wilson was sentenced to serve on her separate state fraud convictions.
On June 15, 2012, Samantha Dorothy Delay-Wilson, 65, of Anchorage was sentenced by United States District Court Judge Russell Holland.
According to Assistant U.S. Attorney Aunnie Steward, who prosecuted the case, the following facts provided the basis for Delay-Wilson’s guilty plea:
Delay-Wilson carried out a Ponzi scheme for over a decade, defrauding 14 individuals by making false representations and promises and by providing false documents to victims regarding investments she would make on their behalf and regarding her assets and credentials. Delay-Wilson guaranteed investors a high-rate of return and made false claims regarding how she was going to invest the victims’ money, making different claims to different victims. She told victims she would invest their money in a global investment fund, European sub-prime loans, and an investment banking service company, when, in fact, she used the victims’ money for her personal expenses, to fund her lavish lifestyle, and to pay out earlier investors.
