Estimates of the amount of money Cox fraudulently obtained range from $5 million to more than $15 million, to more than $25 million. He is believed to have fraudulently mortgaged more than 100 properties. Cox was serving a 26-year sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI), a low-security facility in Coleman, Florida. He was ordered to pay $5.97 million in restitution, and testify against his co-conspirators. As of 2010, the United States Attorney's office has not brought charges against any of his 13 Tampa-area cohorts, even though Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert A. Mosakowski informed a judge in 2005 that he planned to bring charges against up to 13 accomplices.
