A Wausau man will spend time in federal prison for wire fraud and money laundering committed across Iowa and Wisconsin.
Stanley Pophal was sentenced to eight years in prison after an investigation uncovered a fraud scheme that swindled 190 people out of more than $ 14 million.
The fraud investigation into Pophal began in Iowa in February of 2025, and local charges were later filed in western Wisconsin.
The local charges were later dismissed to allow for federal charges, and Pophal pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Madison in June of this year.
