MINNEAPOLIS — The attorney for convicted Minnesota businessman Tom Petters says their fight is “far from over” and they plan to appeal.
Jon Hopeman said Thursday that Petters is “doing very well” despite being found guilty on Wednesday of fraud, conspiracy and money laundering.
Tom Petters plans to appeal the verdict that found him guilty on all 20 counts for his role in orchestrating a $3.5 billion Ponzi scheme, the Associated Press reported Thursday.
Petters’ defense attorney, Jon Hopeman, told the AP his client’s push to win the case “is far from over.” Petters can’t officially appeal the decision until his sentencing, which is expected to occur in the next two months.
