A former New York City man has been sentenced to six months in jail for stealing thousands of dollars from mortgage lenders, banks, businesses and the government. Authorities said Friday that Rafael Vascones also was ordered to pay back about $350,000 to the banks. Queens District Attorney Richard A. Brown says Vascones' scheme relied on false identities, shell companies, forged documents, ghost employment and tax evasion. The defendant, who is in his 50s, was living in Granbury, Texas, when he was arrested. He ran two Queens-based businesses, Integrated Business Communications Inc., and NA Networking Group, Inc.
