Boomer Man Sentenced
WEST VIRGINIA....
Zachary Dye of Boomer, a former employee of Direct Buy, has been sentenced to two years in jail after pleading guilty in October to four counts of fraudulent schemes. Investigators say he claimed he was working as a contractor for DirectBuy while he made a promise to four families to make their home improvements a reality. But instead, he left with their money, leaving them with gutted kitchens. Dye has been ordered to participate in a work release program so he can work to repay the families the $68,000 they gave him. Dye says he really felt he could do what he promised, but the money went to feed his gambling addiction.
