Flathead County District Court Judge Amy Eddy on Wednesday accepted a plea deal in the Ponzi case of Catherine Ann Finberg. In the deal, Finberg agreed to plead no contest Dec. 28 to a felony count of embezzlement, common scheme; guilty to operating a pyramid promotional scheme and guilty to two counts of fraudulent security practices in exchange for the state dropping a charge of failure to register as a securities broker. Finberg has also agreed to serve a 10-year sentence in Montana State prison, with an additional 30 years suspended, though under Montana law, she’d be eligible for parole in 2-1/2 years.
