Donald Felix Zampach, 65, collected $830,238 meant for his mother following her death from pancreatic cancer in 1990.
SAN DIEGO - A Poway man who hid his mother's death for over three decades in order to collect hundreds of thousands of dollars in government benefits was sentenced Friday to two years in federal prison.
Prosecutors said Zampach also laundered the stolen funds to pay off the mortgage on his home and used his mother's identity to open accounts with at least nine financial institutions, causing them to lose over $28,000. At Zampach's sentencing hearing, Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Hill reiterated that point and said the loss was the largest in such a case"in the history of the United States."
Johnson wrote in his sentencing papers,"This is not the case of a person who stole $800,000.00 and bought frivolous items -- it is the case of a mentally ill man unable to care for himself who could not leave his childhood home and so continued to receive modest retirement checks."
