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

Note to our readers

We want to make some things clear. We have been in direct contact with the FBI and other authorities before this blog was even posted. We handed over countless documents, names of victims, vehicles he was driving, updates on Chris Woods and other information leading to his capture. The day before Chris Woods was arrested on   August 23, 2011 he phoned in verbal threats to one of the bloggers on here. That information was sent directly to the FBI in Los Angeles. The next day we were informed he was taken into custody.  The sole purpose of this blog was to expose the truth and bring this crook to his knees. The internet an technology brought Chris Woods down.
