A New Jersey man who posed as a New England Patriots player to buy and sell three Super Bowl rings engraved with Tom Brady’s last name was sentenced to three years in prison on Monday for the scheme.
Scott V. Spina Jr., 25, will also have to pay $63,000 in restitution to a former Patriots player he bilked by buying the athlete’s Super Bowl LI ring with a phony check in 2017, the US Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California said.
The memorabilia huckster later sold the band for $63,000 to a noted broker of championship NFL rings, according to the feds.
