Jamie-Lynn Sigler’s ex Abraxas Discala sentenced in $300M stock scheme

The ex-husband of HBO “Sopranos” star Jamie-Lynn Sigler has been sentenced to 11½ years in prison for orchestrating a $300 million pump-and-dump stock scheme, federal prosecutors said.

Abraxas Discala, Sigler’s former money manager who married her when she was 22, was slapped with the sentence in Brooklyn federal court on Wednesday, the US Attorney’s Office said.

Discala, 50, was also ordered to pay $2,484,873 in fines and will be expected to pay restitution, though the exact amount will be decided at a later date.

The CEO of now-defunct OmniView Capital Advisors was convicted in May 2018 of artificially inflating shares of unstable stocks and then selling them off to unwitting investors before the securities crashed, becoming nearly worthless.
