Two Comic-Con scamsters plead guilty in San Diego

Two men from Los Angeles have pleaded guilty in San Diego to selling bogus tickets to last summer’s Comic-Con bash.

Farhad Lame and Navid Vatankhahan were each sentenced to a $750 fine, three years’ probation and 10 days of community service picking up roadside trash. Lame pleaded guilty in San Diego County Superior Court on Monday; Vatankhahan pleaded guilty last week.

The two were arrested in July on the last day of the convention when two women who had each paid $120 for a two-day ticket were refused entry. The tickets proved to be photocopies of a non-transferable exhibitor’s ticket.
