ABC 7: Ex-HGTV star and Los Gatos house flipper sentenced in real estate fraud case
SANTA CLARA COUNTY, Calif. (KGO) -- A former HGTV star and house flipper from Los Gatos has been sentenced to four years in Santa Clara County Jail.
On Tuesday, Charles "Todd" Hill, star of the show "Flip It to Win It," was ordered to pay close to $10 million for real estate and financial fraud.
Prosecutor Oanh Tran said Hill's scams including a Ponzi scheme impacted 18 homes in the Silicon Valley.
"I think this is a major real estate fraud case - there are 11 victims here who are still dealing with the fallout," Tran said.
The Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office says this case started almost 10 years ago.
