Man Who Bilked Church Sentenced
DECATUR, Ga. (AP) A man convicted of racketeering and violations of Georgia securities law has been sentenced to 10 years in prison followed by 10 years probation.
Darryl Hicks was convicted Thursday of bilking a DeKalb County church and other investors out of $450,000.
The county district attorney's office said that beginning in 2000, Hicks got clients such as All Baptist Church to invest in his fraudulent ``high yield'' or ``prime bank'' investment scheme. Prosecutors said the money has not been recovered.
Hicks disappeared in late 2001 and was initially indicted by a DeKalb grand jury in April 2005. He was arrested in Chicago in August 2007.
