A former pastor and notorious con man was sentenced to five years in federal prison Monday for stealing $3.5 million from his San Diego church and its members, a tale of betrayal that a judge said made the three-time felon one of the worst white-collar criminals.
Barry Minkow, 48, was ordered to do the time after completing a sentence for an unrelated scam that cost homebuilder Lennar Corp. some $580 million in lost stock value.
