A Bad Axe, Michigan car dealer will serve prison time after a long-running loan fraud scheme. George Janssen Jr. was sentenced to three years in federal prison and must repay more than $900,000. Prosecutors say he used the same vehicles to secure multiple loans, collecting nearly $2 million from several banks. Investigators also say Janssen staged a fake kidnapping in 2023 as the scheme began to unravel. He is expected to report to prison by the end of June.
