Ex-Capitals owner denied bail; college results

   Former Sacramento Capitals owner Deepal Wannakuwatte, charged with conspiracy and fraud, recently was denied bail as a flight risk.
   Wannakuwatte, a 63-year-old native of Sri Lanka, was arrested on Feb. 20 in Sacramento after allegedly defrauding investors of millions in his medical supply businesses.
   "He's a skilled manipulator and talented con man," Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Beckwith told U.S. Magistrate Judge Allison Claire at a bail hearing, The Sacramento Bee reported. "He has the money, the connections and the motive to flee."
   According to the FBI, investment brochures for Wannakuwatte's International Manufacturing Group Inc. and RelyAid said sales reached $110 million in 2012, mostly from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
   In reality, the FBI said, sales to the VA totaled just $25,000 a year. Agents said Wannakuwatte usually repaid investors with funds from new investors.
   If found guilty, Wannakuwatte could spend the rest of his life in prison, Beckwith said.
