Guilty Plea in Scam

The former co-owners of Deaf and Hard of Hearing Interpreting Services plead guilty in US District Court in Trenton this week to conspiracy to commit mail fraud. Irma Azrelyant and Joshua Finkle are accused of taking part in a scheme to defraud a federal program out of millions of dollars by submitted more than $7 million in fraudulent billings to the federal Video Relay Service program. They'll be sentenced in June and could get as much as 20 years in prison.
