Howard Leventhal, a 57-year-old Illinois man, pled guilty on Monday to stealing $25 million from investors, whom he had conned into thinking he was an inventor of a real-world version of technology from the television and film franchise "Star Trek." According to prosecutors, Leventhal told potential investors he had invented "Heltheo's McCoy Home Health Tablet," a device that could scan patients to determine their illnesses - not unlike the "tricorder" used by the fictional doctor Leonard McCoy in the famed science fiction franchise.
RT's Sam Sacks tells us how Leventhal boldly went where no man has gone before...
and how that led him straight to prison.
