RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — A Virginia Beach man is going to prison for defrauding investors who thought they were backing concerts by prominent entertainers, including Beyonce, Prince and Jay Z.

The U.S. attorney’s office says 43-year-old Kensey Lamonte Wright was sentenced to three years and five months in prison Wednesday in federal court in Richmond. Wright entered a guilty plea to wire fraud in June.
