Feds: Ga. man had recruit sell fake movie posters
(AP) - 12 minutes ago
ATLANTA (AP) - Federal prosecutors say a Georgia man accused of making more
than $1 million from the sale of fake vintage horror movie posters has found
another way to continue his scheme.
Kerry Haggard, was released on $100,000 bail after he was arrested in April
2010 on mail fraud charges.
But U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said in a letter filed Monday that Haggard has
since recruited someone to sell 81 posters and other items on his behalf,
defying a court order. He urged the judge to revoke Haggard's bail and issue a
warrant for his arrest.
Prosecutors say Haggard sold fake reproductions from movies such as
"Frankenstein" for $500 to $5,000, bilking victims of more than $1 million over
a four-year span.
A message left with Haggard's lawyer was not immediately returned.
