OPELIKA, Ala. — A man who pleaded guilty to federal charges in a $2 million scam that sucked in an Alabama town is due in state court to face additional counts. A federal judge already has sentenced Sander to a more than five-year term, and the state case will resolve criminal charges against the man. Sandler founded a business called The Round House in 2014 and lured in dozens of investors. Sandler portrayed himself as a wealthy former Google executive to snag investors in the town of Opelika (Oh-puh-LIE-kuh). State prosecutors aren’t recommending additional time, but the final decision is up to a judge.
