Daniel King was sentenced to federal prison after pleading guilty in July to one count of structuring. The charge involves making bank deposits in amounts less than $10,000 to avoid reporting requirements. Federal authorities say King also bought a $1.15 home in Saratoga and made other purchases in the late 1990s from his cocaine trafficking activities. After the government seized some of his assets, King fled the country for about a year. When he returned in 1999, prosecutors say King was able to escape arrest by living in Texas under an assumed name. When the 67-year-old King finishes his 18-month sentence, he'll be on supervised release for three years.
