Phoenix real estate agent Tanya Marchiol was sentenced in federal court this week for helping drug dealers buy a house and for failing to pay income tax on $1.4 million earned between 2008 and 2010.
The sentence was less than half of the nine-year prison term sought by federal prosecutors who said Marchiol “committed her crimes to satisfy her own greed and vanity.”
Marchiol rose to real-state stardom at the height of the economic downturn. She amassed a celebrity client list of Arizona athletes, wrote a book on wealth management and was a sought after commentator on radio and television shows.
