A real estate swindler who claims he's too morbidly obese to begin serving his federal prison term got no sympathy from a judge Tuesday.
James Olivos pleaded guilty and was sentenced in December to serve five years and pay back almost $3 million after admitting he ran a multimillion-dollar real estate scam.
He's missed three dates to surrender to prison alleging medical conditions. He says he can't begin serving his sentence because he won't get the right treatment for his obesity.
"Do you still contend you are too morbidly obese?" WESH 2's Bob Kealing asked Olivos outside the courtroom.
