Florida man gets 5 years in plot to extort Matt Gaetz's father
Politico, Aug 23, 2022

A Florida businessman who pleaded guilty in a $25 million extortion plot targeting the father of Rep. Matt Gaetz in a convoluted scheme to secure a presidential pardon for his son was sentenced to five years Monday.

U.S. District Judge Casey Rodgers sentenced Stephen Alford, 62, to 63 months plus three years supervised release after he pleaded guilty last year to one count of wire fraud, according to federal court documents.
