A former New York businessman who previously faced extradition from Canada had pleaded guilty to wire fraud.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, 30-year-old Michael Wilson used fake companies known as “New Frontier” to cheat investors out of more than US$10 million between June 2008 and July 2010.

Wilson could face up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine when he’s sentenced in October.
