A Houston man who pretended to sell hot tubs on eBay but instead took $191,000 from 46 customers and spent it on strip clubs, pricey cigars and vacations was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison this morning.

its a bummer he only got 30 months....and the bad thing is these people are probably out of the money

Unless they can convince the strippers and hotels to return the $$ I'm sure the duped people are not getting their $$ back.

He has been ordered to pay $191,000 in restitution when he gets out of prison. I don't know how all the laws for restitution work. Does a bankruptcy get you out of it?

The restitution order is great but you have to wonder if/when they'll get much of their $$ back. With his qualifications maybe he can get a job with the traveling spa circus.
