Attorney Robert Arledge of Vicksburg, Mississippi on Thursday was sentenced to 78 months in prison and ordered to pay $5.8 million in restitution by US District Judge David Bramlette in Jackson. Arledge was convicted by jury trial in October on 7 counts including conspiracy, wire fraud and mail fraud in a scheme to defraud Wyeth Pharmaceutical by knowingly allowing clients to submit false Fen-Phen claims for $250,000 each to a settlement fund. More than 20 claimants were charged in the scheme; most have been sentenced. WAPT has the AP story here.
