A woman was sent to jail for six months after failing to repay $56,134 to investors who were told they'd get rich with an invention that keeps outdoor Christmas lights hidden.
"Time in the cooler is the perfect place for someone who has blown a second chance to prove whether she is naughty or nice," Attorney General Mark Shurtleff said Thursday.
Kristine Mylonakis, 45, was accused of fleecing more than 70 investors by claiming she manufactured cylindrical trim that keeps lights concealed until they are needed. She had no such invention.
In 2003 and 2004, a sister who worked at the Salt Lake County Jail rounded up people there to invest in "Hide-A-Light," Shurtleff's office said.
