Detroit nonprofit's ex-finance chief gets 19 years in prison for $40M theft

A federal judge in Detroit on Thursday ordered 52-year-old William Smith to pay back the $44.3 million. The disgraced Detroit Riverfront Conservancy chief financial officer was arrested in June. He pleaded guilty in November to wire fraud and money laundering.
