Pastor's sentence: 15 years for scam



U.S. District Judge Michael Davis sentenced a Forest Lake minister to 15 years in prison for his role in a multimillion-dollar pyramid scheme Thursday, but he wasn't happy about it.

Davis, Minnesota's chief federal judge, upbraided the U.S. Justice Department for its handling of a case in which Neulan Midkiff, the minister, will serve more time than the fraud's ringleader.

Terrence Correll, architect of the Ponzi scheme that bilked 519 people of up to $390 million, received a 12-year term.

Under the sentencing guidelines, Davis said, "the more you steal, the better off you are."

Midkiff, 66, wept as he apologized for his part in the scheme, although he said that he did not realize at the time he was committing fraud.

Davis expressed doubt. "You can't hide behind being an unsophisticated person," he said. Midkiff was blamed for at least $18 million lost in the scam.
