A father and son were sentenced to federal prison in connection with a 'ten-percenting' operation that allegedly involved many Massachusetts convenience stores, thousands of lottery tickets and more than $20 million in laundered profits, authorities said.
A father and son were sentenced to federal prison in connection with a massive"ten-percenting" operation that allegedly involved dozens of Massachusetts convenience stores, thousands of lottery tickets and more than $20 million in laundered profits, authorities said Monday.
The Jaafars, along with another son, Mohamed Jaafar, were initially accused in 2021 of scamming the Massachusetts lottery by conspiring with legitimate winners to buy the winnings at 10-20% of their actual value and subsequently filing false tax returns,The Jaafars cashed more than 14,000 lottery tickets between 2011 and 2019 as part of the scheme and ultimately claimed over $20.
By purchasing lottery tickets from legitimate Massachusetts winners looking to sell theirs for a cash discount, instead of claiming the prizes from the state's lottery commission, the Jaafars'"ten-percenting" scheme allowed real winners to evade identification by commissioners, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.
