A Danville man has been sentenced to almost a decade in prison on fraud and identity theft charges.
Tyrone Dwayne Young, 30, was sentenced Tuesday to 111 months in federal prison and has been ordered to pay restitution of more than $1.1 million, the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Western District of Virginia announced.
In November, Young pled guilty to one count wire fraud, one count of student loan fraud and one count of aggravated identity theft.
Young’s fraudulent activity involved the personal information of more than 60 people. His scheme resulted in an attempted loss of $1.4 million to the Department of Education and the affected schools.
