A 45-year-old Folsom man who defrauded investors in a $13 million Ponzi scheme was sentenced Tuesday to nearly 20 years in prison. Stefan A. Wilson, who is also known as Stephen K. Wilson, wiped out retirees' life savings and depleted money meant for college funds.... At his sentencing, victims spoke about the financial devastation that Wilson's crime caused. One family said they lost a farm that had been in the family for 60 years and was paid off until Wilson convinced them to refinance it and another victim said Wilson took money from his son, a disabled war veteran. They also said Wilson, a former youth minister, lied to them about donating 10 percent of his profits to Christian charities and they trusted him because of his affiliation with the church.
