A once-renowned South Florida attorney has been sentenced to 234 months in prison for jumping bond and defrauding more than 700 investors of about $20 million.

Former Broward litigator Michael Casey got his sentence from Chief Judge K. Michael Moore in the Southern District of Florida. Before his sentencing, Casey had entered guilty pleas on one count of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, in addition to a charge for failing to appear in court. He was ordered to forfeit $269,598, pay $18,919,995 in restitution to victims, and will be under supervised release for three years following his prison sentence.
