Alan DeAtley, 60, of Medford, Ore., was convicted in Denver District Court on 22 charges that included forgery, theft and tax evasion, as well as one count related to organized crime.
DeAtley, who was acquitted on three charges of tax evasion, faces up to 100 years in prison. He is scheduled for sentencing on April 7.
