The Democrat was not up for re-election until 2020. Uresti said after the verdict, he plans to appeal the conviction.

Federal prosecutors say FourWinds Logistics operated an illegal Ponzi scheme against its investors.

Uresti was the company’s general counsel. He also owned a small stake of company shares and earned commissions for recruiting investors.
