  • A part-time actor, Keith Lawrence Middlebrook, was sentenced to over eight years in federal prison for fraud related to a bogus COVID-19 cure.
  • Middlebrook was convicted on 11 counts of wire fraud and expressed his intention to appeal, claiming he is "completely innocent."
  • His sentencing hearing revealed his false claims about a relationship with NBA star Magic Johnson, which Johnson denied.
  • Prosecutors argued for a harsher sentence, citing Middlebrook's perjury regarding his connection with Johnson.
  • Along with his prison sentence, Middlebrook received a $25,000 fine and is subject to three years of supervised release after serving his time.
