Former La Jolla attorney Cameron Campbell was sentenced today (Friday, April 4) to 63 months in prison for his role in wooing investors into a $4.5 million scam called The Brixon Group Ltd. Federal Judge Barry Ted Moskowitz ordered Campbell to return $4.5 million to investors, who trusted Campbell because he was an attorney. Investors were told they would rake in 10 percent a month. Much of the money the victims plunked in went to paying off early investors -- the classic Ponzi scheme. Part of the money went into the pockets of Campbell and his co-conspirators. One of the co-conspirators was arrested in Nicaragua in February. Another, Joseph Wayne McCool, who has spent two years in prison, is missing.
