A movie distributor who claimed to be working on films involving Alicia Silverstone and Peter O'Toole in a bid to obtain multi-million dollar investments has been sentenced to almost four years in jail.
Harel Goldstein used bogus contracts with foreign distributors to help secure more than $35 million (£23.3 million) in loans from bosses at Comerica Bank, who thought they were financing independent films.
He used Silverstone and O'Toole as examples of stars he would be working with to convince bank chiefs to hand over the cash.
Goldstein pleaded guilty to fraud in 2007 and on Wednesday, Los Angeles District Judge S. James Otero sentenced him to 46 months behind bars, according to the Associated Press.

Toronto -- Nearly a year and a half after his arrest on the way home from the 2007 American Film Market, California authorities have dropped all federal bank fraud charges against former Peace Arch Entertainment CEO Gary Howsam.
The Toronto-based film producer on Tuesday said the U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California dismissed all charges regarding film finance dealings Howsam and partner Harel Goldstein had with the Comerica Bank of California in 1999 and 2000.
Howsam faced one count of bank fraud and six counts of allegedly falsifying international film distribution agreements to secure $7 million in bank loans from Comerica.
But before his case could go to trial, Howsam's defense team, led by Donald Randolph of Randolph and Associates in Santa Monica, uncovered evidence that the government's star witness, his former partner Goldstein, lied when implicating Howsam in a ruse to deceive Comerica.

As CEO of Greenlight Film & Television, Gary Howsam created false contracts with international distributors in order to secure more than $7 million in film loans from Comerica Bank, according to an affidavit filed by an FBI special agent investigating the bank fraud allegations against the producer.
Howsam was arrested Monday during the American Film Market and placed on administrative leave from his position as CEO of Toronto-based Peace Arch Entertainment. He was released later in the day on $500,000 bond, surrendered his passport and was fitted with an electronic monitoring device. He remains under house arrest at a friend's home in Pacific Palisades, Calif.
Howsam's attorney, Donald Randolph of Santa Monica, said the affidavit "is an accusation and nothing more. What actually occurs in these cases will play itself out in a period of months."
Howsam was arrested on one count of bank fraud involving financing for the 2001 film "Going Back". His arraignment is scheduled for Dec. 3. If found guilty, he faces a maximum of 30 years in federal prison.
Howsam joined Toronto-based Peace Arch in 2003.
According to the court papers filed Monday by Special Agent Jennifer Teasdale, Comerica loaned Greenlight more than $35 million between November 1999 and October 2000 for the production of six films.
Teasdale's affidavit claims that in order to secure international distribution rights, Greenlight partnered with Los Angeles-based Hilltop Entertainment and Harel Goldstein, who owned a third of Hilltop. For "Going Back", Howsam estimated the film's budget to be $4 million-$4.5 million and was banking on a deal that Goldstein was working on with a German conglomerate that would generate $3 million-$3.5 million for the film.
