Former HGTV Star Charles 'Todd' Hill Sentenced to 4 Years in Jail for Multimillion-Dollar Scams

In addition to the time behind bars, Hill was ordered to pay back nearly $10 million to 11 victims.

Hill -- who starred on the HGTV series Flip It To Win It-- was remanded to jail on April 16, according to a press release issued by the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office. The DA's office detailed the crimes for which he had been convicted, explaining that, in the case of the Ponzi scheme, he used investors' money to "live lavishly," and then, "to hide the theft, he created false balance sheets and got loans using fraudulent information." "In another case, an investor toured a home for which he had provided $250,000 for remodeling and found it to be a burnt down shell with no work done on it," the statement shared, adding that the victims who spoke at the sentencing on April 16 "said they were still suffering financial and professional damages from the fraud."
