U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier also on Thursday ordered 44-year-old Daniel Kinney, of Whitesville, Ky., and 46-year-old Donna White, of Avondale, to pay $12.7 million in restitution to John W. Stone Oil Distributor LLC.
White worked for the company, which operated a dock fueling business in the Port of New Orleans. Barbier sentenced her to 40 months in prison.
Kinney was her sister's boyfriend. He was sentenced to 78 months in prison.
