NEW YORK - For Craig Carton's ticket resale Ponzi fraud, the former WFAN and New Jersey 101.5 radio host should get from five to seven years in prison, federal prosecutors in Manhattan said Friday, according to a report.
“Carton was involved in all aspects of the scheme ... His victims were people who believed they had formed a relationship with him. And his lies continued for months,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Brendan Quiqley wrote to Manhattan Federal Judge Colleen McMahon, according to another report.
But prosecutors said "Carton’s fraud was not the result of an isolated loss of impulse control or a one-time stumble," according to a report.

A former "Jersey Guy" on New Jersey 101.5 radio, Carton was found guilty of swindling investors out of millions of dollars in a ticket-reselling business.
Sentencing is scheduled for April 5. Prosecutors back following federal sentencing guidelines, which call for 70 to 87 months in prison.
