Haiti Diaspora - Lucie Tondreau sentenced to 65 months in prison for Mortgate Fraud

Lucie Tondreau, a community activist who made political history in North Miami and was a symbol of hope for many in her community, was sentenced to 65 months in prison on Tuesday by a federal judge for her role in an $11 million mortgage fraud scam.
