SANTA BARBARA, Calif. -- David Anderson, owner of David Anderson's
Safaris and Luxury Adventures Ltd., was sentenced under the
California Sellers of Travel Law Nov. 4 to 117 days time served in
the county jail, plus five years probation with terms and
conditions, and the restitution of more than $230,000 owed to
customers.
Anderson pleaded guilty last June to 32 counts of failing to
make refunds to customers or failing to put customers' deposits in
trust funds as required by law. Because of the high amount of money
involved, the charges were felonies.
Under the terms of his probation, Anderson cannot start another
travel business, but can work as a travel consultant for another
registered seller of travel, as long as his job does not include
handling of funds.
