The duo – accused of orchestrating a years-long scheme that defrauded luxury retailers, jewelers, banks, and high-end service providers out of more than $1 million – were convicted on one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and four counts of wire fraud following just three and a half hours of jury deliberation, NBC News reports.
