(AP) \u2014 A 90-year-old North Dakota woman who was robbed of her life savings by a Jamaican lottery scam says she has been paid back only $287 of the $400,000 she\u2019s owed.<\/p>\n Edna Schmeets of Harvey, a small central North Dakota town about 77 miles (124 kilometers) northeast of Bismarck, was the victim whose case launched what became the first large-scale Jamaican lottery scam case prosecuted in the U.S. All 31 defendants have been prosecuted, including 14 Jamaican nationals who were extradited from that country. Authorities identified victims of the scam in 31 states, with more than 100 mostly elderly American bilked out of more than $6 million.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m so disappointed,\u201d Scmeets told the Bismarck Tribune of the small amount she\u2019s gotten back. She said she was told another check for $138 is pending.<\/p>\n Federal prosecutors pledged to get at least some of the victims\u2019 money back. But offenders\u2019 inability to pay often limits the collection of restitution. According to the National Center for Victims of Crime, many victims wait years before receiving any money, and many never received the full amount they were owed.<\/p>\n Most restitution ordered in federal court cases is never collected, according to a federal government report last year. The U.S. Government Accountability Office studied Justice Department data and found that at the end of fiscal 2016, $110 billion in previously ordered restitution was outstanding, and federal prosecutors had identified $100 billion of that \u2014 or 91% \u2014 as being uncollectable due to the offenders\u2019 inability to pay.<\/p>\n \u201cSadly, what you\u2019re seeing here (in the scam case) is all too typical, where victims are promised substantial restitution but the reality is much less,\u201d said Paul Cassell, a University of Utah law professor.<\/p>\n Drew Wrigley, the U.S. attorney for North Dakota, said he empathizes with Schmeets.<\/p>\n \u201cIf we could monetize our gratitude, she\u2019d be paid back in full immediately,” said Wrigley, whose office recently was awarded a U.S. Department of Justice award for cracking the case.<\/p>\n Scammers would call victims and tell them they had won money in a lottery but that they needed to pay advance fees to collect it. The scammers would then keep the victims\u2019 money without paying out anything. The case was prosecuted in North Dakota because that is where the investigation began into Schmeets being scammed.<\/p>\n Update…<\/p>\n FARGO, N.D. (AP) \u2014 Police have arrested a suspect in the killing of a Fargo man in a downtown apartment building.<\/p>\n KFGO radio<\/a> reports that 43-year old Darrell Clinton Peterson is being held in the Cass County Jail on a felony murder charge in the death of 64-year-old Duane Darling, of Fargo.<\/p>\n Police say officers were called to the Pioneer Manor apartments shortly before 7 a.m. Wednesday and discovered Darling bleeding from the head. He died later at a local hospital.<\/p>\n Authorities say a tip led officers to another apartment where Peterson was eventually taken into custody. Police say he was arrested after they reviewed evidence and Peterson\u2019s statements during questioning.<\/p>\n Easton has a strong personal connection to Dickinson State University. Easton, who graduated summa cum laude from DSU in 1980 with a bachelor\u2019s degree in Business Administration and Accounting, and a minor in political science, was the third generation of his family to choose Dickinson State. After earning his undergraduate degree at DSU, Easton enrolled in Stanford Law School where he earned his Juris Doctorate in 1983.<\/p>\n Easton practiced law for more than 20 years before returning to higher education as a professor and administrator.<\/p>\n \u201cWith all the issues the federal government faces, this may seem small, but it is no small\u00a0issue\u00a0to the people of Spirit Lake,\u201d\u00a0\u00a0Senator Cramer said in remarks on the Senate Floor.<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cThis mistake has taken over 100 years to correct. I\u00a0am sorry for that, but I am grateful\u00a0my colleagues are joining us now to\u00a0correct it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Senator John Hoeven<\/strong>, the bill\u2019s original cosponsor and chair of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee, also offered his support:<\/p>\n \u201cNow that the Senate has approved this legislation, we are one step closer to reinstating the traditional Dakota name of White Horse\u00a0Hill, which honors the heritage of the Spirit Lake Tribe and this area.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Sullys\u00a0Hill\u00a0was named in 1904 after General Sully, a\u00a0Civil War and the Indian Wars military officer who gained notoriety for committing several massacres against Native Americans, including one of the greatest massacres in North Dakota\u2019s history. Many descendants of his victims live on the land surrounding the hill.<\/p>\n The North Dakota congressional delegation \u2013 with the support of\u00a0 Governor\u00a0Doug Burgum\u00a0\u00a0and Tourism Director Sara Otte Coleman \u2013\u00a0introduced this legislation in July<\/a>\u00a0after the tribe requested the hill\u00a0return to its historic Dakota name. The Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee, which Senator Cramer sits on, advanced this legislation at the end of September. There, Senator Cramer\u00a0delivered remarks<\/a>\u00a0on the importance of this legislation, as did EPW Ranking Member Tom Carper (D-DE).<\/p>\n \u201cThis action by our committee will help to ensure that the Spirit Lake Tribe\u2019s story of the white stallion will be ingrained in our Nation\u2019s history for years to come,\u201d\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0Ranking Member Carper.<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cQuite simply, this is the right thing to do, and I want to thank Senator Cramer for his work.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/csinewsnow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/EastonStephen-300x214.jpg\")
