Notable incidents

In early 2000, federal investigators discovered that inmate Roy Ageloff was directing fraudulent activities from FCI Coleman. Ageloff, a former stockbroker, was convicted of money laundering in 1998 for masterminding a securities manipulation scheme in the 1990s which swindled thousands of investors out of millions of dollars. An investigation uncovered that Ageloff was continuing to give his co-conspirators, including his brother, instructions regarding the management, transfer, concealment and investment of proceeds from the scheme. Ageloff gave these instructions during prison visits, recorded telephone conversations, and through prison e-mail. Ageloff's co-conspirators continued to receive criminal proceeds in the form of cash payments and checks. In August 2000, Ageloff pleaded guilty to federal racketeering charges and was subsequently sentenced to 96 months in federal prison. Ageloff's brother, Michael Ageloff, pleaded guilty to money laundering and received a 48-month sentence in 2009.{{cite news|last=Edwards|first=Amy L.|title=Money scheme adds to prison term|url=https://www.orlandosentinel.com/2009/07/23/money-scheme-adds-to-prison-term/|newspaper=Orlando Sentinel|date=July 23, 2009}}{{cite web|title=Former Stockbroker Sentenced for Money Laundering|url=https://www.fbi.gov/jacksonville/press-releases/2009/ja072209.htm|publisher=Federal Bureau of Investigation}}
