A Montreal man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison by a Pennsylvania judge for operating a telemarketing scheme that defrauded American seniors of millions of dollars.

Ari Tietolman, 50, was extradited from Canada to the United States last year and pleaded guilty in January to three counts of wire fraud and four counts of money laundering.
