Chase Duncan Campbell, a resident of Georgia, was sentenced to six months in prison and 18 months of home detention after pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud. The U.S. Attorney’s Office stated in a press release that the sentence is part of a three-year term of supervised release.
Court documents indicate that from November 2020 through May 2024, Campbell and accomplices engaged in a conspiracy to commit wire fraud. The scheme targeted a former political candidate, identified as Candidate 1, by offering fraudulent campaign services. Campbell was also involved in efforts to obtain funds from four Louisiana residents through fake real estate transactions and a counterfeit legal defense fund. As part of his sentence, Campbell is required to repay $446,302.23 to the victims and pay a $100 special assessment fee.
Federal authorities detailed a complex scheme in which Campbell and his accomplices used aliases, burner phones, and falsified documents to carry out their fraud. Victim 1 lost over $236,000 through fictitious real estate transactions, Victim 2 was defrauded of about $83,000, and Victims 3 and 4 lost approximately $112,000 in a counterfeit legal defense fund scheme. The conspirators’ use of technology and detailed fabrications enabled the deception to continue over an extended period.
