The last of 25 defendants pleaded guilty in a $65 million scheme aimed at thousands of older people. Callers posed as technical support, government officials, or bank staff and had victims mail cash.

Most sentences are still ahead. Bing Shen was sentenced to 70 months. Na Rong was sentenced to 78 months. Three charged defendants remain fugitives.

A guilty plea is not the same as every defendant’s sentence. The announcement lists who has been sentenced and who is still waiting.
