Thomas Knapp, a former Salem lawyer who pleaded guilty this year to a money-laundering charge, was sentenced Thursday to a year in federal prison and ordered to pay about $313,000 restitution, officials said.
Knapp was involved in an international loan scam from September 2000 and February 2005, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Chris Cardani. Knapp bought a Mercedes and financed a building on Commercial Street SE where he ran his law practice using money from the scam.
Knapp has 90 days to report to prison. Knapp likely will serve his time at the federal prison in Sheridan, Cardani said.
