GAINESVILLE - A sentencing hearing continues today for a former Habersham County bank executive who has pleaded guilty to using customers and family members in a multimillion-dollar fraud conspiracy that led to his bank's downfall.
Randy Jones could face at least 12 years in prison on Wednesday when he is sentenced in federal court. Three others who have pleaded guilty to conspiring with Jones are also set to be sentenced.
Jones, 50, pleaded guilty in January to receiving kickbacks for real estate loans while he was an executive vice president at Community Bank & Trust, the failed Cornelia-based bank where he worked for 30 years.
The hearing started yesterday in U.S. District Court in Gainesville but attorneys spent the day in court arguing over how much restitution Jones should pay and how much time he could face behind bars.
