Former San Antonio man gets 18 months after guilty plea in super PAC scheme
A former San Antonio resident once dubbed "Mini Madoff" for his prior role in a high-profile bank fraud case received an 18-month federal prison sentence Thursday after pleading guilty to credit card fraud and falsifying Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings. Among other things, federal authorities accused Christopher Richardson, 37, of using made-up names for the treasurer and designated agent of a super PAC — a type of political fundraising organization — he established in 2020 called Americans for Progressive Action USA (AFPA). Richardson's attorney, Jarrett L. Colby of Washington, D.C, argued that his client created the super PAC to draw attention to health insurance reform after his mother's insurer refused to cover a kidney transplant, according to the Express-News.
