Michael Rothenberg, a three-time candidate for the DeKalb County Superior Court bench, on Friday was sentenced to three years and five months in prison.
Based on allegations that he defrauded investors and used their money to fund his political campaign, Rothenberg in September pleaded guilty to a charge of federal wire fraud. In addition to the prison term, U.S. District Court Judge Steve Jones sentenced Rothenberg to three years of supervised release and ordered him to pay $800,000 in restitution.
