The same day, Michael Marks and Ricky Marks were sentenced to six months' house arrest followed by two years' probation and eight months' house arrest followed by two years' probation, respectively. Rose Marks was sentenced to just over ten years in federal prison on March 3, 2014 for defrauding clients of her family's fortune-telling businesses out of more than $17.8 million. She was convicted of scamming numerous clients, including best-selling romance novelist Jude Deveraux, who was a client since 1991. Victims testified that she convinced them she could swap people's souls between bodies, prevent a woman from conceiving via in vitro fertilization and even use her psychic powers to prevent the Internal Revenue Service from going after them for taxes. According to the indictment, there were numerous victims of the Marks family's psychic ruse through the use of "various magicians tricks" creating an impression of genuine psychic ability. The family claimed to communicate directly with Michael the Archangel. The women of the family, including Rose Marks, sometimes used the alias Joyce Michael(s). Many of the victims had suffered a traumatic loss. Two victims identified by "The Palm Beach Post", author Jude Deveraux and another woman were defrauded of $20 million and $1 million, respectively. Deveraux believed the money would be returned after it was "cleansed". The single victim of Vivian Marks identified by the "Sun-Sentinel" was defrauded of $180,000 which he was told would go to charity work in Africa. Another victim was told that her money had burned in the September 11 attacks. A victim who had been hearing voices in his head was told by Cynthia Miller that she would speak with Michael the Archangel who she said told her the victim needed to sacrifice gold coins. This victim turned $400,000 in gold coins over to Miller. A family curse that could be cured only by the "cleansing" of money and valuables was a scenario frequently employed by the Marks family. Victims included a female US Naval Academy graduate, an English attorney and other highly educated men and women with executive positions. Michael Vasquez wrote in the "Miami Herald" that the indictment included the following examples of the methods used by Marks and her family:
