Charge it: Casias brothers sentenced for sports scam

Fans purchased game packages, got cheated

Twin brothers Anthony Donald Casias and Leo Ronald Casias Jr. on Friday (January 17) were sentenced to prison for defrauding local sports fans. Customers paid their L&T Sports Events Inc. money for travel, lodging, transportation, and game tickets for sporting events, such as a Chargers away game.

But according to evidence introduced in court, customers may have gotten airline tickets but little else. Over a dozen local Chargers fans paid to see the team play in Chicago, and transportation was about all they got. The twins also made unauthorized credit-card charges on at least four people's credit cards.

Anthony Casias got 36 months in custody and Leo Casias got 33 months.
