Jamie-Lynn’s ex faces jail time

THE ex-husband of “Sopranos” star Jamie-Lynn Sigler was convicted of a $300 million pump-and-dump stock scheme in Brooklyn on Friday. Abraxas “A.J.” Discala — Sigler’s former manager whom she married when she was 22 — was found guilty of eight conspiracy and fraud charges while being acquitted on two counts by a Brooklyn federal jury, The Post’s Priscilla DeGregory writes. The jury found that former actor Discala, 47 — the CEO of nowdefunct OmniView Capital Advisors — artificially inflated shares of unstable stocks and then sold them off to unknowing investors before the securities crashed, becoming nearly worthless, between 2012 and 2014. A release from the US Attorney’s Office of the Eastern District of New York in 2015 revealed Discala had been caught on a federal wiretap bragging to an associate of his ability to control a particular share price: “I’m the [expletive] brake and the gas, [expletive]. If I take my foot off the brake, it’s 55 [dollars] tomorrow. [ Laughter.]” Discala now reportedly faces up to 30 years in jail, and his lawyer, Charles Ross, said after the verdict, “Obviously, we are disappointed . . . We’re going to continue to fight on behalf of Mr. Discala.” Discala’s co-defendant, lawyer Kyleen Cane, was acquitted on all counts. Sigler — who played Tony Soprano’s daughter, Meadow, on the hit show — and Discala were married from 2003 through 2005, and she was not involved in this illegal scheme. In 2016, Sigler married former minor league baseball player Cutter Dykstra. They have two sons.
