Fairfield County resident Curtis Solsvig of Stamford was sentenced on Tuesday, March 5 to 18 months in prison for his wire fraud scheme, the US Attorney's Office for the District of Connecticut announced.
According to federal officials, in 1996, Solsvig began serving as a trustee of a married couple's trust intended to benefit their two children. Beginning in 2011, Solsvig, a relative of the victims, began stealing around $816,000 from the trust over eight years and used these funds for personal expenses.
By the end of this scheme, under $20 remained in the trust account, officials said.
In addition to his prison sentence, Solsvig will be required to serve three years of supervised release. He was also ordered to pay $816,205.09 in restitution.
He is now released on a $250,000 bond and will report to prison on Friday, April 19.
