    | After more than nine hours of deliberation, a jury on

    | and state Republican Chairman Matt Borges guilty of felony
    | racketeering charges in connection with a billion-dollar
    | utility bailout that was passed in 2019.
    |
    | Both men face maximum sentences of 20 years in what
    | prosecutors said was likely biggest bribery and money
    | laundering scandal in Ohio history. U.S. District Judge
    | Timothy Black will schedule a sentencing hearing.
    | ...
    | As part of the racketeering scheme, Akron-based FirstEnergy
    | and other utilities paid tens of millions into an effort to
    | elect friendly lawmakers in 2018 who would vote to make
    | Householder speaker the following year. Immediately after
    | taking the speaker's gavel, Householder worked furiously to
    | pass a $1.3 billion bailout, the vast majority of which
    | benefited FirstEnergy subsidiary FirstEnergy Services.
