A Nigerian man who swindled three Californians out of more than $400,000 by demanding tax on bogus foreign lottery winnings was sentenced Tuesday to 14 years in federal prison.

Onwuzulike's victims, a San Fernando Valley woman, lost her home after she paid more than $368,000 for a phony tax on what she though

Lets DreamReply
jwhou, So where were you when I needed you during my pummeling in my Fooled By Randomness thread in Lottery Systems?
