Berg was sentenced to 18 years in prison in Seattle in 2012 after pleading guilty to defrauding hundreds of investors of more than $100 million through the Meridian Mortgage investment funds he ran for nearly a decade.
Berg’s exploits were featured in an episode of the CNBC television series, “American Greed” entitled “Seattle Roasted,” and which begins with the narrator introducing Berg as a conman who traveled from the “Frat house to the Big House.”
