“Two men pleaded guilty to a scam that lowered the bills of 5,790 Comcast customers in Pennsylvania by a total of $2.4 million. They now face prison time and will have to pay their ill-gotten wealth back to Comcast.  The accused ringleader, 30-year-old Alston Buchanan, pleaded guilty last week. ‘Buchanan faces up to 57½ to 115 years in prison, although Buchanan will likely serve a lesser sentence than the maximum,’ the newspaper wrote.  Comcast customers saved an average of $414 in exchange for paying the defendants $75 to $150.”
