According to prosecutors, Ricky Dugo choreographed a well-thought-out scheme to take others’ money over the years. In this specific case, he never planned on paying the victim back.
"This is a good day for the victims of this offender’s long-running scams. Our Special Investigations Division did an excellent job supporting our prosecutors - together, they are starting the process of securing justice for these good people who lost money to this scammer and con artist," said Lake County State’s Attorney Eric Rinehart.
During Dugo's bench trial, a judge heard from five state witnesses, including other victims whom Dugo deceived and from whom he took money, prosecutors said. Dugo was released on bond in April 2021, after posting bond. His bond was revoked after being convicted. A sentencing hearing is scheduled for March 17.DAILY NEWSLETTERthat I have read and agree
