After admitting to embezzling roughly $20 million during trial, former J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. investment adviser Michael Oppenheim was sentenced to serve five years in prison.
Oppenheim was accused of taking money from his clients’ accounts in order to trade in various stock options and fund his addiction to gambling. U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres ordered Oppenheim to forfeit $20.2 million in order to pay restitution after he pleaded guilty to securities fraud and embezzlement charges in November.
In March of 2015, Oppenheim was fired by J.P. Morgan.
