Mosley, his son-in-law J. Michael Caldwell of Williamston and Frontier Software Systems, LLC, were ordered to forfeit $20 million to the United States. Prosecutors say the money came from criminal activities.

Mosley would not answer questions as he left the courthouse. Defense attorney Billy Wilkins says Mosley has retired and is closing his business.
