A Louisiana man and his wife were sentenced prison for scamming their friends and family into giving him over $989,898 with a crazy story about scanning their bodies with a satellites and curing their ailments while they slept.
Stacey Finley, 34, persuaded her targets — described by federal prosecutors as "solid, middle-class, educated citizens" — that she was a CIA agent and could use her agency contacts to have medical scans conducted by satellite. Finley said the scans would reveal hidden medical problems, prosecutors said, and that CIA agents would then enter their homes and administer secret medications while they slept. Those treatments would supposedly prevent serious health problems and hereditary diseases.
Stacey Finley is not associated with the spy agency, prosecutors said.
