According to prosecutors, White stole money during a period from 2008 to 2011, making unauthorized bank transfers from Arenas’ accounts into three accounts of his own.

He was also convicted of four counts of filing a false tax document because he did not report the stolen money in his tax returns.

If you were wondering what he did with the money — he spent it on a Ferrari and a Range Rover, in addition to making mortgage payments on his house.

White faces a maximum sentence of 232 years in prison.
