Last defendant in Dallas-based scam gets 10 years

DALLAS, TX

Adley Husni Abdulwahab must serve the Texas sentence consecutively to a 60-year Virginia term he's now serving over a $100 million life insurance scheme. He must also make restitution in the Texas case.

Abdulwahab last year pleaded guilty in Dallas to securities fraud during 2006 and 2007. He's the third defendant over failed investments in the W Financial Group.

Michael Wallens Sr. of Nantucket, Mass., and his son Michael Wallens Jr. of Plano earlier pleaded guilty to securities fraud. The father was sentenced to 4 1/2 years in prison, while the son received a five-year term.

Abdulwahab was sentenced Friday.
