Montgomery participated in this scheme which involved his former coach, Steven Riddick, and 11 other defendants. His part involved depositing three checks totaling $775,000 and assisting others to deposit $905,000 in bogus checks. He received $20,000 for his role in the fraud conspiracy.
Montgomery faces 37 to 46 months in prison.
