A former Coeur d'Alene coin shop owner was sentenced to six months in jail this morning for six counts of petty theft for failing to fulfill customers' gold and silver orders.
Kevin E. Mitchell, 49, had been indicted on felony charges of grand theft by false promise for allegedly scheming to defraud customers between 2009 and 2012. He agreed to plead guilty to the lesser charges and avoid a trial.
Mitchell was a member on the Collectors Universe Forums. Lots of articles on the web, apparently this was a long drawn out affair with police moving slowly to shut the operation down. Apparently after police shut down his store Mitchell created a e-store to sell the remainder of his inventory.
