He claimed he was paid $500 to route the money through his account, acting on orders from “Mr. X.” The victim, traumatized and now fearful of online banking, hasn’t recovered her losses—stolen just months before her 70th birthday. Authorities are still hunting other suspects, including a man in a Mercedes allegedly chauffeuring Conway to make purchases. Conway’s defense highlighted his addiction, cooperation with police, and remorse, including an offer to repay part of the stolen sum—though the judge worries about burdening his family. Sentencing is set for today, with the court weighing evidence and mitigating factors. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
