>> yeah. >> even though he's going to prison, there are all these other cases and charges he's facing. >> yeah, these alleged financial crimes, many of which he talked about on the stand, the prosecutor going case by case getting him to admit that he lied, that he stole the money. those still have to be sorted through on the other side of this. >> really an incredible story. great work, eva. >> great work seeing you put your south carolina roots to use and all of that like boots on the ground reporting, eva. >> yes. we had a big south carolina team. lots of gamecocks working on this story. >> you guys did incredible work. >> thank you. well, coming up on "good morning america," a little customer's big efforts to help his favorite waffle house waiter.
