A federal judge in Missouri sentenced Patrick Dingle, a former construction operations manager for Zieson Construction Co., to eight years in prison without parole for false tax returns and his role in a fraud scheme that won Zieson $335 million in government contracts for which it was not eligible. The judge also ordered Dingle to forfeit $5.4 million representing his share of the profit and restitution.
He is due to begin serving his sentence on Nov. 7, likely at FCI Schuylkill in Minersville, Pa.
