A former surety manager who for two years diverted payments on bond claims to himself is now starting a 20-month prison sentence.
A federal judge in New Haven, Conn., sentenced James Keating, 52, of Paoli, Pa., in late January to imprisonment, followed by three years of supervised release, for defrauding his former employer, Allied World Insurance Co., of more than $1.4 million. Keating had pleaded guilty in July to wire fraud.
