Egypt fraudster sentenced to serve for a millennium

CAIRO -- An Egyptian man was sentenced to 1,000 years behind bars on Thursday after scamming hundreds of people out of 280 million pounds (around US$52 million), a court official said.

The Giza criminal court sentenced Abdullah Kamel Mohammed, 42, for cheating 480 people out of their money over several years.

“He would promise people that he would invest their money for them and bring them good profits, but he would take the money and disappear,” the source said. “Over the years, he made about 280 million pounds.”
