Investment adviser sentenced to 30 years in prison

By The Associated Press
STATESBORO, Ga. (AP) A former Georgia investment adviser who vanished after losing millions of clients' dollars and was mistakenly declared dead has been sentenced to 30 years in prison. <br /> <br /> Aubrey Lee Price was sentenced by a federal judge Tuesday in Statesboro. The 48-year-old former fugitive pleaded guilty in June to three counts of fraud. Prosecutors say he misspent, embezzled and lost tens of millions of dollars belonging to investors and the Montgomery Bank & Trust, which closed soon after Price went missing in June 2012. <br /> <br /> Price also was ordered to pay millions in restitution. <br /> <br /> Price left letters hinting at suicide, and a Florida judge ultimately declared him dead. But last December he was captured alive in a routine traffic stop.
