Well the Misty Lee's sentencing was continued until the rest of the defendants could enter the pleas or go to trial and then followed a great deal of postponements as the defendants and prosecutors Next Sheila Mullineaux plead guilty and was sentenced because, apparently, she was not going to testify against the other defendants.

PRosecution called John Wabel and Misty Lee and Randi Jones amongst others to testify.
So they have all been found guilty of mail fraud and finaicial aid fraud and sentenced to probation and must pay restitution in the amount of $115,000 as of 11/08/2011.
And John Wabel declared bankruptcy which closed 7/2011. Papers are public on PACER.
