OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An Omaha woman already serving time in federal prison for selling millions of dollars in worthless travel vouchers has been sentenced again, this time for state charges in the case.
Patricia Urbanovsky was sentenced Wednesday in Douglas County District Court to seven to 11 years in state prison. She had pleaded no contest to writing bad checks to her employees to repay them for thousands of dollars she borrowed from them to keep her business afloat.
Urbanovsky was sentenced earlier this year to more than five years in federal prison for money laundering and wire fraud. Her state sentence will run at the same time as her federal sentence.
Authorities say Urbanovsky ran a scheme through her business to sell discounted airline travel vouchers, which turned out to be worthless. Hundreds of customers discovered their vouchers wouldn't be honored.
