Federal prosecutors are recommending a lengthy prison term for a former nonprofit official convicted in a multi-million dollar fraud scheme.

U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance has recommended a 27 year prison sentence for 53-year-old former nonprofit healthcare CEO Jonathan Dunning.

Dunning was convicted in June on 98 counts including conspiracy, wire fraud, bank fraud and money laundering.

Prosecutors say Dunning caused one of the health care clinics for the poor that he managed to shut down, drove another to the brink of bankruptcy and helped spur the collapse of a credit union.

U.S. District Judge Barbara Jacobs Rothstein is scheduled to sentence Dunning Friday.
