Ex-mortgage CEO sentenced to prison for US$3bil fraud


ALEXANDRIA, Virginia (AP) - The CEO of what had been one of America's largest privately held mortgage lenders was sentenced Tuesday to more than three years in prison for his role in a $3 billion scheme that officials called one of the biggest corporate frauds in U.S. history.

The 40-month sentence for Paul R. Allen, 55, is slightly less than the six-year term sought by federal prosecutors.
