WHITE COUNTY MAN SENTENCED FOR WIRE FRAUD AND MONEY LAUNDERING
A White County man was sentenced in U.S. District Court this morning for wire fraud and money-laundering charges. The judge gave three years in prison and three years on supervised probation to Jeff Gentry and ordered him to pay more than $10 million in restitution. Federal authorities charged Gentry in July 2017 with operating a $43 million investment scheme in which he swindled more than 50 individuals out of some $10 million. Gentry pleaded guilty to the charges in August 2017. Gentry owned and operated Gentry Brothers Tractor Supply.
