Excerpt:
As the man who allegedly bilked him and hundreds of others out of millions of dollars stood before a federal judge Monday to plead guilty, Nadeem Sharafi turned to another victim who had also come to downtown Chicago for the court hearing.
Sharafi shook the man's hand forcefully, a smile spreading over his face.
But with two co-defendants still on the run and so much money gone, Amjed Mahmood's guilty plea provided limited relief for Sharafi and other victims in the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse.
