On Thursday in Fort Lauderdale federal court, Judge David Leibowitz ordered John Spencer Jenkins, 55, to surrender Friday to start serving time at a federal prison in the Metroplex, where Jenkins has family. After pleading guilty to one count of wire fraud and one count of money laundering, Jenkins got two years, nine months for each charge, sentences to be served concurrently, plus $760,865 restitution.
