Description

These are the five one-kilogram gold bars and three smaller 100-gram gold bars that an 86-year-old Portland woman had bought and prepared to hand over to a courier who showed up at her house, before the FBI interceded and made an arrest.

A federal judge on Thursday sentenced a 28-year-old sushi chef to time served for his role as a courier in a nationwide fraud scheme that netted more than $8 million in gold bars from victims in Oregon and Idaho.
