Jack W. Stollof, who with a partner made millions by illegally rigging Maryland's tax lien auctions, was sentenced Wednesday to 12 months of home detention for the crime and ordered to pay an $800,000 fine, according to the U.S. Justice Department, which prosecuted the case.
Co-defendant Harvey M. Nusbaum, 72, was given a similar sentence earlier this month in Baltimore's U.S. District Court, though he was ordered to spend his term in federal prison. A DOJ spokeswoman said Stollof, who is in his mid 70s, received electronic monitoring at home because of health concerns.
