Chris Woods sentenced to 4 years in Federal Prison

Christopher Woods was sentenced to 4 years in federal prison in Riverside California. Upon his release, Mr. Woods will be deported back to Australia. He entered the court room wearing a white prison uniform covered with a green jacket. His feet were shackled with chains, as well as a chain around his waist and hands cuffed together. Mr. Woods (upon his plea agreement) acknowledged he "scammed" people and defrauded them. In court Mr. Woods said upon his release he "will be working at his uncles bottle store" (liquor store in Australia) He MUST pay back restitution of over $3,500,000.00 to his victims. He was sobbing and crying in tears during his sentencing and when speaking to the court. Was he truly sorry? or Sorry he got caught? You be the judge. Mr. Woods explained how nervous he is in the "prison enviornment". Chris says he is a loaner in jail spending his days cleaning the prison stairs and railings. A FAR CRY from his days living in luxury from stolen money.  He was noticeably thinner, skin was pale and hair seemed darker. This is a closed chapter to his victims and everyone or anyone who dealt with this con man. Woods is serving time in Victorville Federal Correctional Complex (FCC) until March 2015
