The U.S. attorney's office says 53 year old David Musk faces up to 60 years in prison when he's sentenced August 3 in U.S. District Court in Omaha.

Musk used a business named Pavilion Commercial Group and told real estate developers that his companies could do "Interpol'' and "FBI'' background checks for them.

Prosecutors say he charged a $600 fee but didn't have the ability or the intention of doing the checks. Officials say he collected $170,000.
