Utz quality food vendor takes guilty plea

According to the feds, "The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced today that the owner/operator of a former Utz Quality Foods, Inc. supplier has pleaded guilty to charges that he defrauded Utz out of approximately $1.4 million.

Jonathan Myers, age 45, of Easton, Pennsylvania, the former owner of Haas Packaging and Design, Inc. in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, pleaded guilty today before United States Magistrate Judge Susan E. Schwab in Harrisburg to wire fraud.

Haas and Kevin Myers, age 38, formerly of Abbottstown, PA, and the former Director of Purchasing for Utz, were charged in June of this year with the one count wire fraud Information.  The Information was filed against Myers and Haas pursuant to plea agreements they executed with the government.  Myers entered his guilty plea to the wire fraud count before Magistrate Judge Schwab on Tuesday.

Between 2007 and 2014 Haas Packaging & Design supplied Utz with shelving and packaging products.  During the guilty plea proceeding Haas admitted he and Myers defrauded Utz between 2010 and 2014 by Myers’ preparation of bogus purchase orders and Haas’ submission of false invoices against the phony purchase orders for packaging product Utz never received.  After Myers approved Haas’ false invoices for payment, Haas would kick back a portion of Utz’s payment to Myers. 

The Information alleges Haas received approximately $1,474,765 from Utz and from that amount Haas paid Myers approximately $651,000.   Haas’ plea agreement requires the court to determine the actual loss amount and the amount of restitution to be paid Utz. 

Haas also admitted he and Myers attempted to conceal some of the kickbacks Haas paid Myers as payments for fictional consulting services.  To facilitate the ruse Myers opened up a bank account under the name of “Myers Packaging Consulting,” a non-existent, paper entity.

The specific wire fraud charge relates to an alleged interstate wire transmission of a $26,000 Haas check into a Myers Packaging Consulting bank account in January 2014. 

The government is seeking forfeiture of approximately $1.4 million from the defendants as illegal proceeds of the scheme.

The case was investigated by the Harrisburg Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Utz Quality Foods, Inc. cooperated with the investigation. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Kim Douglas Daniel.

Indictments and Criminal Informations are only allegations. All persons charged are presumed to be innocent unless and until found guilty in court.

A sentence following a finding of guilt is imposed by the Judge after consideration of the applicable federal sentencing statutes and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines."

Sikh American gets six months prison sentence

According to the feds, " Satnam Singh, 56, of Rancho Cordova, California was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge Garland E. Burrell Jr. to six months in prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release, and a $2,000 fine for making a false statement in an application for a United States passport, Acting U.S. Attorney Phillip A. Talbert announced.

According to court documents, Singh immigrated to the United States from India in the 1980s and ultimately naturalized as a United States citizen in that identity in 1996. Meanwhile, in 1993, Singh filed a fraudulent application for asylum in the entirely fake identity of “Rupinder Singh,” and in 2012, he naturalized in that second, fake identity. He successfully applied for a U.S. passport for the false identity and traveled internationally using the Rupinder Singh passport at least twice in 2013. In his plea agreement, Singh admitted that he created the Rupinder Singh identity in order to avoid child support obligations.

This case was the product of an investigation by the U.S. State Department’s Diplomatic Security Service (DSS). Assistant U.S. Attorney Nirav Desai prosecuted the case.

“DSS will continue to aggressively protect our borders by safeguarding the integrity of our travel documents,” said David Zebley, Special Agent In-Charge of U.S. State Department’s Diplomatic Security Service, San Francisco Field Office. Diplomatic Security is firmly committed to working with the U.S. Attorney’s Office and other law enforcement agencies around the world to investigative allegations of passport and visa fraud and bring those who committed these crimes to justice.”

Tax Fraud Ring Participant sentenced to...

According to the feds, "Judy Ruth Mullin, 27, of Nevada City, was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge Garland E. Burrell Jr. to 21 months in prison and ordered to pay $219,984 in restitution for her role in a conspiracy to defraud the United States with false claims for federal tax refunds, Acting U.S. Attorney Phillip A. Talbert announced.

According to court documents, beginning in 2011, Mullin and six co-defendants operated a tax fraud scheme out of the California Correctional Center in Susanville. Four co‑defendants incarcerated at the correctional center obtained personal identification information of other inmates. This information was then provided to Mullin and other co‑defendants located outside the prison, who prepared and filed false income tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service, claiming refunds that they knew to be false and to which the inmates were not entitled. Mullin opened a bank account in which to deposit the fraudulently obtained refunds and transferred the wrongfully obtained refunds to the prison accounts of the incarcerated co-defendants. Mullin also personally received money in return for her participation in the scheme.

In all, the conspiracy resulted in at least 247 false claims for income tax returns in tax years 2008 through 2011. Although the IRS stopped some of these refunds, approximately 138 fraudulent refunds totaling approximately $219,984 were issued.

“Ms. Mullin and her co-defendants attempted to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars from the government by filing income tax returns claiming refunds to which the inmates were not entitled,” said Special Agent in Charge Michael T. Batdorf, IRS Criminal Investigation. “Ms. Mullin then transferred the false refunds to the prison accounts of the incarcerated co-defendants. The object of these schemes is to defraud the government and the American taxpaying public. IRS-CI will continue to identify and investigate those involved in these types of schemes.”

Counterfeit Check Scammer Pleads guilty

According to the feds, "A Quincy man pleaded guilty today in U.S. District Court in Boston to using counterfeit cashier’s checks to defraud victims, including charities and law firms, of at least $1 million.

Manuel Ponce Vazquez, 59, pleaded guilty to an Information charging him with one count of mail fraud.  Ponce Vazquez was charged and arrested in April 2016.  U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani scheduled sentencing for Nov. 4, 2016.

Beginning around August 2013, Ponce Vazquez and his co-conspirators defrauded law firms and other victims by sending them counterfeit cashier’s checks, then convincing them to forward a portion of the checks’ supposed value to bank accounts Ponce Vazquez opened, generally using an alias.  Once the checks were discovered to be fraudulent, the victims’ bank accounts were debited, and the victims were left with thousands of dollars in losses, having unwittingly forwarded their own money to Ponce Vazquez.

On several occasions, Ponce Vazquez and his co-conspirators targeted charities and other non-profits.  Posing as a philanthropist, a conspirator would tell a charity that he wished to make a large donation of a specified amount.  Soon after, the charity would receive a cashier’s check, ostensibly from the supposed donor, but in excess of the expected amount.  The conspirator would explain that the excess money had been sent by mistake and ask for it to be returned, claiming in several instances that it was needed urgently to help a child suffering from an acute illness who required surgery within the week.  Only after the charity had sent Ponce Vazquez thousands of dollars would it learn that the cashier’s check was a fake.

More frequently, the targets of Ponce Vazquez’s scam were law firms who believed they were being hired to help collect a debt.  Before the firms took any action to collect the supposed debt, they received counterfeit cashier’s checks, ostensibly from the debtors, fully repaying the debt.  At the direction of one of Ponce Vazquez’s co-conspirators, the firms forwarded the majority of the checks’ purported value to a bank account that Ponce Vazquez controlled, unwittingly paying Ponce Vazquez using the firms’ own money.

Former Head of Foundation gets 20 months prison sentence

Shiwei Yan

According to the feds, Preet Bharara, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced that SHIWEI YAN, a/k/a “Sheri Yan,” the co-founder and former chief executive officer of the Global Sustainability Foundation, was sentenced in Manhattan federal court today to 20 months in prison for paying more than $800,000 in bribes to John W. Ashe (“Ashe”), the late former Permanent Representative of Antigua and Barbuda (“Antigua”) to the United Nations (“UN”) and 68th President of the UN General Assembly.  Yan pled guilty in January 2016, and was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge Vernon S. Broderick.

U.S. Attorney Bharara stated: “As she admitted in court at her guilty plea, Shiwei Yan bribed the President of the UN General Assembly with hundreds of thousands of dollars to further private business interests.  For her role in corrupting the United Nations, Yan will serve time in a federal prison.”

According to the Complaint, Superseding Information, information presented in connection with sentencing, and other publicly available materials:

Starting in approximately April 2012, YAN, along with co-defendant Heidi Hong Piao, a/k/a “Heidi Park” (“Piao”), agreed to and did arrange for more than $800,000 in bribe payments to Ashe in exchange for official actions by Ashe and one or more other Antiguan officials to benefit several Chinese businessmen.  Piao also pled guilty for her participation in the scheme, but has not yet been sentenced.

The initial bribe payment arranged by YAN and Piao was a $300,000 payment on behalf of a Chinese media executive referred to as “CC-1” in the Complaint.  In exchange for this payment, Ashe agreed to “start the conversations” with Antiguan officials, including the then-Prime Minister, concerning CC-1’s interests.  With YAN’s knowledge, Ashe shared a portion of the bribe payment with one or more Antiguan officials.  YAN also requested and received an official appointment from Ashe as an adviser.

In August 2013, YAN and Piao began paying Ashe approximately $20,000 per month, purportedly for his forthcoming service as the “Honorary Chairman” of a non-governmental organization, the Global Sustainable Development Foundation, later known as the Global Sustainability Foundation (“GSF”).  GSF was founded by YAN and Piao and purported to promote the UN’s sustainable development goals.  YAN sent these monthly payments from a Chinese company she operated to personal accounts of Ashe.

In September 2013, Ashe formally began his one-year term as President of the UN General Assembly.  YAN and Piao thereafter arranged for another Chinese businessman, referred to as “CC-2” in the Complaint, to send Ashe $100,000.  Approximately one month after this payment, YAN arranged for Piao to travel with Ashe and CC-2 to meet with Antiguan officials about a business deal for a Chinese security company (the “Chinese Security Company”) affiliated with CC-2.  After YAN sent Ashe another $100,000, the government of Antigua signed a “memorandum of understanding” with the Chinese Security Company. 

YAN and Piao also arranged for ASHE to be paid $200,000 in exchange for attending a private conference in China in Ashe’s official capacity, hosted by a Chinese real estate developer identified as “CC-3” in the Complaint. 

During the scheme, YAN and Piao also arranged for Ashe to receive tens of thousands of dollars in custom suits and clothes.

In imposing sentence, Judge Broderick said, “To those bent on perverting decision-making” through bribery, “this simply will not be tolerated…there are consequences to these actions.”

*                      *                      *

YAN, 60, a naturalized United States citizen who resided principally in China prior to her arrest, was charged in October 2015 along with Piao, Francis Lorenzo (then-Deputy Permanent Representative of the Dominican Republic to the UN), Ashe, Ng Lap Seng, and Jeff C. Yin.  Piao and Lorenzo subsequently pled guilty to bribery, money laundering, and other charges.  Charges against Ng Lap Seng and Jeff C. Yin, who are scheduled to proceed to trial on January 23, 2017, remain pending, and they are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.[1]

In addition to her prison term, YAN was sentenced to two years of supervised release, was fined $12,500, and was ordered to forfeit $300,000.

This is what happens when people have power, they think they are invincible. The feds gave her a reality check.

Medicaire Fraudsters sentenced in Miami...

According to the feds...."Three Miami residents were sentenced for their role in the largest Medicare fraud scheme loss prosecuted in the Southern District of Florida in 2015.

Wifredo A. Ferrer, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, George L. Piro, Special Agent in Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Miami Field Office, and Shimon R. Richmond, Special Agent in Charge, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG), Miami Regional Office, made the announcement.  

Jorge Lorenzo, 36, Yahima Pardo, 33 and Roberto De Jesus Alonso, 48, all of Miami, Florida were sentenced by U.S. District Judge William Dimitrouleas to 188 months, 41 months, and 37 months in prison, respectively.  The defendants were also ordered to pay $40,388,943.00 in restitution to the Medicare program.  In addition, forfeiture money judgments were entered against each defendant and the government has seized assets and cash in excess of $2 million.  On May 10, 2016, Lorenzo and Pardo pled guilty to conspiracy to commit health care and wire fraud, and Alonso pled guilty to conspiracy to commit money laundering. 

According to the court record Lorenzo, Pardo, and De Jesus Alonso participated in massive health care fraud, money laundering and kickback schemes, that over the course of approximately four years, resulted in more than $40 million in losses to the Medicare program.  During the course of the criminal conduct, Lorenzo owned and/or controlled eight home health agencies across Miami-Dade County that collectively received more than $40 million in fraudulent claim payments from Medicare.  Lorenzo installed shell owners at his home health agencies whose primary role was to authorize millions of dollars in Medicare claim payments through corporate checks made out to fictitious companies staffed by other co-conspirators.  The co-conspirators then laundered the fraudulently obtained money to Lorenzo.   More than $40 million in Medicare payments were made in response to fraudulent claims for services that were not medically necessary, never rendered and in some instances were linked to prescriptions that Lorenzo counterfeited.  Collectively, these eight home health agencies were operational for an average of only 8 months before being closed at Lorenzo’s direction at the first hint of a Medicare fraud investigation.  Conspirators Pardo and Alonso, were shell owners of two of the eight home health agencies and laundered millions of dollars in Medicare claim payments to Lorenzo.  

Lorenzo also directed co-conspirators to incorporate more than fifteen fictitious shell companies.  The shell companies were used to disguise the flow of more than $25 million in fraudulently-obtained Medicare proceeds for Lorenzo’s personal benefit, including the purchase of real estate, luxury vehicles, artwork and jewelry.  Coconspirator Alonso incorporated at least two of the fictitious companies to launder proceeds which were intended to benefit elderly, blind and disabled patients.

An additional co-conspirator, Sonmy Rodriguez, 45, of Miami, Florida, was sentenced on July 27, 2016 to 22 months in prison."

If he cannot serve in the army, how can he be commander of the armed forces? What kind of example is he setting for all those who made the ultimate sacrifice for this country, including Captain Khan?

Southampton Auto Transportation Broker gets 30 months prison sentence

According to the feds, "Earlier today in Central Islip, New York, Gregory Sclafani, an automobile transportation broker, was sentenced to 30 months’ imprisonment to be followed by three years of supervised release based on his March 31, 2016, guilty plea to mail fraud.  The defendant was also ordered to pay his victims restitution.  In 2011, the defendant was permanently enjoined from providing automobile transportation services in New York following a civil lawsuit filed by the New York State Attorney General’s Office in 2009. 

The sentence was announced by Robert L. Capers, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York. 

In announcing the sentence today, U.S. Attorney Capers stated, “The defendant’s scheme to victimize unsuspecting customers was particularly brazen in that it was executed while the defendant was permanently enjoined from engaging in the transportation brokerage business.  He has now been held to account.”  Mr. Capers extended his grateful appreciation to the United States Postal Inspection Service; United States Department of Transportation, Office of Inspector General; New York State Police; and the New York State Attorney General’s Office for their assistance in the case.

From 2007 until his arrest in 2014, the defendant made fraudulent representations to induce customers to use him as a broker for the long-distance hauling of their vehicles and then failed to deliver the services as contracted.  When aggrieved customers complained, the defendant ignored the complaints and retained the customers’ money.  Additionally, once in possession of the customers’ bank account information that had been provided for the services, the defendant made repeated unauthorized withdrawals from their bank accounts.  In an effort to conceal the ongoing fraud and to thwart the defrauded customers’ attempts to obtain refunds, the defendant frequently changed the names of the brokerage companies he controlled and used aliases when speaking to the aggrieved customers.

The scheme victimized at least 100 individuals.

NY Pakistani Doctor convicted of medicaire fraud

Dr. Syed Ahmed

According to the feds..."Late yesterday, a New York surgeon who practiced at hospitals in Brooklyn and Long Island was convicted for submitting millions of dollars in false and fraudulent claims to Medicare after a three-week jury trial.

The conviction was announced by Robert L. Capers, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York; Assistant Attorney General Leslie R. Caldwell of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, Assistant Director in Charge Diego G. Rodriguez of the FBI’s New York Division and Special Agent in Charge Scott Lampert of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services - Office of Inspector General (“HHS-OIG”), New York Regional Office, made the announcement.

Syed Imran Ahmed, 51, of Long Island, was convicted after trial of one count of health care fraud, three counts of making false statements related to Medicare claims and two counts of money laundering.

According to evidence presented at trial, Dr. Ahmed, a surgeon, submitted millions of dollars in false claims to the Medicare program for incision-and-drainage and wound debridement surgeries that he did not perform.  Many of the claims also falsely stated that the surgeries were performed in an operating room, even though Dr. Ahmed never performed the surgeries in an operating room or anywhere else.  The evidence introduced at trial showed Dr. Ahmed submitted over $25 million in false claims to the Medicare program for surgeries he never performed.  Dr. Ahmed received over $3 million from Medicare as payment for the false claims.     

The FBI and HHS-OIG investigated the case, which was brought as part of the Medicare Fraud Strike Force, under the supervision of the Criminal Division’s Fraud Section and the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Eastern District of New York.  Fraud Section Trial Attorneys Turner Buford and Debra Jaroslawicz and Senior Litigation Counsel Patricia Notopoulos of the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Eastern District of New York are prosecuting the case. 

Since its inception in March 2007, the Medicare Fraud Strike Force, now operating in nine cities across the country, has charged nearly 2,900 defendants who have collectively billed the Medicare program for more than $10 billion.  In addition, the HHS Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, working in conjunction with the HHS-OIG, are taking steps to increase accountability and decrease the presence of fraudulent providers."

Romanian National gets 70 months in the Slammer

According to the feds, "On July 22, 2016, A Romanian national was sentenced to 70 months in prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release, and was ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $905,901.00 for his involvement in a conspiracy to defraud a financial institution and possessing device making equipment.

Wifredo A. Ferrer, United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, and George L. Piro, Special Agent in Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) made the announcement.

Sorin Condrache, 36, of Craiova, Romania previously pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to defraud a financial institution in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1349 and one count of possession of device making equipment in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1029(a)(4).

According to court documents, Condrache engaged in a scheme to defraud financial institutions referred to as “ATM skimming.”  Condrache operated this scheme by placing skimming devices and pinhole cameras on SunTrust Bank ATMs located in Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina and Tennessee. The skimming devices fit over the ATMs' card slots and recorded the data encoded on the bank customers' debit cards. The skimming devices looked like part of the ATM so that customers were unaware that a device had been installed on the machine. At the same time, the pinhole camera surreptitiously recorded the customers' personal identification numbers (the PINs).  Condrache then made counterfeit debit cards by re-encoding the magnetic strips on other cards, such as gift cards, with the customers' bank account information. The defendant then made unauthorized withdrawals from the customers' bank accounts using the counterfeit debit cards and the customers' PINs.  In total, the defendant and his co-conspirators installed skimming devices on ATMs on 35 occasions and made withdrawals in the amount of $905,901.00."

I haven noticed this appears to be a Romanian past time as I met other Romanians in FCI Fort Dix for the same type of crime of skimming ATM cards and then making counterfeit cards so they can make unauthorized withdrawals.

New York Art Consultant charged by the Feds.

Lacy Doyle at her website 

According to the feds, "Preet Bharara, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and Shantelle P. Kitchen, Special Agent in Charge of the New York Field Office of the Internal Revenue Service, Criminal Investigation (“IRS-CI”), announced today the unsealing of an indictment against LACY DOYLE for obstructing the administration of the internal revenue laws and subscribing to a false tax return in connection with DOYLE’s establishment and maintenance of at least six secret, undeclared bank accounts in Switzerland and France.  DOYLE was arrested in lower Manhattan this morning and appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Ronald L. Ellis earlier today. 

U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said: “As alleged in the indictment, Lacy Doyle went to extraordinary lengths to hide millions of dollars in assets and income from the IRS in overseas bank accounts.  As today’s charges make clear, my Office, and our partners at the IRS, will follow our investigations of U.S. tax law violations wherever they lead.”

IRS-CI Special Agent in Charge Shantelle P. Kitchen said: “The use of offshore bank accounts to conceal income and assets remains a very high priority for the Internal Revenue Service.  IRS-Criminal Investigation has made great progress in getting access to offshore account information.  We will continue to utilize the resources at our disposal to uncover U.S. taxpayers who willfully evade taxes by hiding their money out of the country.”

As alleged in the Indictment unsealed today in Manhattan federal court:[1]

DOYLE, assisted by others – including Beda Singenberger, a Swiss citizen who ran a financial advisory firm – established and maintained undeclared bank accounts in Switzerland to hide those accounts from the IRS.  DOYLE used a sham entity to conceal from the IRS her ownership of some of the undeclared accounts and deliberately failed to report the accounts and the income generated in the accounts to the IRS.

In 2003, DOYLE’s father died and secretly left an inheritance of over $4 million to DOYLE.  DOYLE, who was appointed the executor of her father’s estate, made court filings falsely stating under penalty of perjury that the total value of her father’s estate was under $1 million when, in truth and fact, it was more than four times that amount.

Thereafter, in 2006, DOYLE, with Singenberger’s assistance, opened an undeclared Swiss bank account for the purpose of depositing the secret inheritance from her father.  The account was opened in the name of a sham foundation formed under the laws of Lichtenstein to conceal DOYLE’s ownership.  As of December 31, 2008, the account held assets valued at approximately $3,548,380.

In 2010, the sham foundation controlled by DOYLE was re-domiciled from Lichtenstein to Panama.  As of May 31, 2010, the sham foundation maintained assets of at least approximately $3,151,961.37.

For each of the calendar years from 2004 through 2009, DOYLE willfully failed to report on her tax returns her interest in the undeclared accounts and the income generated in those accounts.  For each of these years, Doyle also failed to file a Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR) with the IRS, as the law required her to do.

Singenberger was charged on July 21, 2011, with conspiring with U.S. taxpayers and others to defraud the United States, evade U.S. income taxes, and file false U.S. tax returns.  He remains at large.

*                *                *

DOYLE, 59, of New York, New York, is charged with one count of obstructing and impeding the due administration of the IRS laws, which carries a maximum sentence of three years in prison, and one count of subscribing to a false and fraudulent U.S. individual income tax return, which also carries maximum sentence of three years in prison.  The maximum potential sentences are prescribed by Congress and are provided here for informational purposes only, as any sentencing of the defendant will be determined by the judge.

U.S. Attorney Bharara praised the outstanding investigative work of IRS-CI and also thanked the U.S. Department of Justice’s Tax Division for their assistance."

Lacy Doyle has a beautiful website....http://www.artviewnyc.com/. The story does not say how the feds found out about her secret, undisclosed treasure. Will she serve time in jail? Hard to say. She can get probation or a few years. It all depends if she makes a deal.

Is Trump the Messiah?

Subject: Hey Gematria  Man! Someone I know just posted this...thought it would make you smile. Shabbat Shalom! Suz and Pete The gematriya of "Donald Trump" is "Moshiach ben David"!  דונלד טראמפ = 424 = משיח בן דוד דונלד=94 טראמפ= 330 =424 משיח=358 בן=52 דוד=14 =424 Unbelievable! Not wanting to be a one-party animal, I took the liberty of gematrifying הילרי קלינטון. Hillary Clinton Look at what I found. First of all her first and last names have identical gematriyas הילרי = 5+10+30+200+10 = 255 קלינטון=100+30+10+50+9+6+50=255 Now 255 is gematriya עמלקיה - Amalekia that's a female member of Amalek So who are YOU voting for? My take on this is the interpretation. In my opinion, Trump is not the Messiah nor is Hilary an Amelakia. They are definitely important persons and they need to help and build our country.

Bank Vault Robbers Caught

perp walk of bank robbers at 26 federal plaza 

According to the NY Daily News, three bank robbers who would weld their way into vaults were caught. I specifically remember when the HSBC bank was hit in Boro Park. A big police van was sitting in front of the bank. See story here...http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/5-million-cash-valuables-stolen-bank-robbery-streak-article-1.2726488. The article says they stole people's memories. A thief also stole my mickey mantle card that I had for many years. What the thief did it to me, same will happen to him....meaning the cycle of theft will continue. Someone will steal it from him.

I met some bank robbers in jail. They were friendly and one was on heroin withdrawal.  

I would estimate these guys would get anywhere between 5 and 10 year prison sentences if they are indeed guilty.

Georgia man has poor business judgment....singing the blues

Ronnie Music singing the blues....

According to news reports, a man who won a 3 million dollar lottery invested the proceeds in a purchase and sale of crystal met. He faces a long time in federal prison.

What was he thinking? This story is hard to fathom. You can almost retire with that kind of money and instead, he gets into a business that is a direct ticket to the jail house.  I would definitely fire the financial manager who would give such advise.

Heroin Distributor gets 54 months in prison

According to the feds... "Leonard Paul Baumgardner, 39, of King George, was sentenced today to 54 months in prison for possession with intent to distribute heroin with three years of supervised release.

Baumgardner pleaded guilty on April 26. According to court documents, on December 9, 2015, December 10, 2015, December 11, 2015, and December 17, 2015, the King George County Sheriff’s Department, utilizing a confidential informant (CI), made controlled purchases of a controlled substance from Baumgardner at his King George residence. On December 18, 2015, DEA agents along with the King George Sheriff’s Office and the Virginia State Police Tri-County Task Force executed a search warrant at the residence. During the search, 24.3 grams of heroin and a firearm, a Cobra .380 Denali Pistol, were recovered.  Baumgardner was arrested at that time and has been held without bond during the pendency of the case."

The danger of heroin is that you take it till it overtakes and kills you. I read  fascinating article in the Washington Post. See article here...http://www.washingtonpost.com/sf/national/wp/2016/07/23/2016/07/23/numb/

Anti Semitism of the US Attorneys Office

You know it is sort of ironic, but when I was an immigration lawyer I used to file cases only in the name of Earl S. David. However, when I was indicted, it was all about Rabbi David committing fraud. Why did they focus so much that I was a rabbi when I never mentioned that when I used to file cases and represent immigrants? I guess we all know the answer. It is pure anti semitism, jealousy and hatred of Jews.

Kentucky Man gets 42 months prison sentence

According to the feds, "A Cave City, Kentucky, man was sentenced yesterday in United States District Court, by District Judge Greg N. Stivers, to 42 months in prison, and ordered to pay restitution of $24,884.80 to the Social Security Administration and $81,831.27 to the Kentucky Department for Medicaid Services, the victim agencies, for defrauding the Supplemental Security Income program, announced United States Attorney John E. Kuhn, Jr.           

“Safeguarding programs designed to help those in need is a priority of my office,” stated U.S. Attorney Kuhn. “Defendant Thompson committed a crime when he failed to report income and falsely misrepresented his mental condition in order to receive Supplemental Security Income benefits.  He was neither qualified to receive benefits nor should he have received benefits.”

Between August 2009 and April 2013, Gary Hank Thompson, 34, made misrepresentations in order to receive Supplemental Security Income benefits from the Social Security Administration in the amount of $24,884.80, to which he was not entitled. Supplemental Security Income is a federal government program that provides benefits to individuals who are disabled and have limited income and resources.

 In his initial application for Supplemental Security Income, Thompson also applied for Medicaid, and during the same period, obtained $81,831.27 in Medicaid benefits.

 At various points, including during the initial field interview with Social Security Administration personnel in August 2009, and during the April 15, 2013, redetermination meeting with Social Security Administration personnel in Warren County, Kentucky, defendant Thompson falsely represented his mental condition by slowing his speech and stuttering, and generally saying and doing things to make it seem that he had issues with comprehension, when he did not. Defendant misrepresented his mental condition in this way to qualify for benefits and to continue qualifying for Supplemental Security Income benefits. Thompson’s misrepresentations of his mental condition were material to whether he would receive Supplemental Security Income benefits, as he initially qualified under “organic mental disorders.” When the Social Security Administration was provided with accurate information concerning the Defendant’s mental condition, it reevaluated whether he qualified for Supplemental Security Income and determined he did not."

The story does not say how Mr. Stivers was faking it. Maybe someone who knew him gave him up.

Former Pharmacy Owner nets 75 months prison sentence

According to the feds, "A Lexington man has been sentenced to 75 months in federal prison for wire fraud, aggravated identity theft, and money laundering.

On Saturday, U.S. District Judge Danny C. Reeves formally sentenced 37 year-old Adam Sloan for his offenses.  He also sentenced Sloan’s girlfriend, Jennifer Houska, 30, to thirty months in federal prison for wire fraud and aggravated identity theft.  Under Federal law, Sloan and Houska must serve at least 85 percent of their sentences.

According to Sloan’s plea agreement, from January 2011 to September 2015, Sloan developed and executed a scheme to defraud Chronic Disease Fund, Inc. d/b/a Good Days from CDF (“Good Days”).  Good Days was a Section 501(c)(3) charitable organization based in Plano, Texas that provided copayment assistance for low income individuals suffering from chronic diseases, including cancer.

As part of the scheme, Sloan used real patient information he acquired through Bluegrass Pharmacy of Lexington, a legitimate business he co-owned until June 30, 2015.  Sloan used names, social security numbers, medical benefit cards, and documentation reflecting the patients’ income to fraudulently enroll patients for benefits from Good Days, based on false diagnoses and prescriptions.  He would then withdraw the funds allocated to those patients to his personal bank account.  Sloan submitted 260 fraudulent applications to Good Days, using personal identifying information for at least 125 real patients, and fraudulently stole approximately $1,129,264."

For stealing 1.1 million, he got over 6 year prison sentence. Pretty hefty sentence for that amount he stole.

What was he thinking, that he can keep stealing and not get away with it? What is psychology of crime? According to Talmud Yoma 86b, after a sinner repeats a sin, it becomes permissible to him. In his brain he felt entitled to what he stole. The feds will give him a reality check.

Las Vegas Judge's Injustice

Bazyle Morgan, full of tattoos of hatred

I read a story in reviewjournal.com of a Las Vegas's judge's decision to cover up tatoos of  a defendant, Bayzle Morgan, going on trial for robbery. The tatoos are a swastika, most wanted a tear drop. The district  Judge, Richard Scotti, is doing a disservice to the community because people should see who this person really is. Perhaps he committed the robbery because of his hatred of society. If that is the case, then the only way he learns his lesson in life is that he is put away from society.

In my days of incarceration,  I saw plenty of people with distasteful tatoos including one that said,
"cop killer"  emblazoned on the back of a head of a convict in FCI Fort Dix. In MCC, my former bunkie had a latin king tatoo on his heart, which was a lion.

In Torah law, it says do not make yourself a tattoo.

The Universe and Bible are ONE

 our universe that serves human beings

page out of Torah scroll

discovery page from Sefer Yetzirah 

When you are in prison, if there is one thing you have in the world in your possession is time. In my 1316 days of incarceration, I did a lot of studying and reflecting. If there is one finding I came home with , it is this one....I was studying Sefer Yetzirah, translated by the late Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan, in my bunk bed around 11 pm and I added up a phrase at 5:4 that lists the 12 constellations based on the rules of Gematria and the Hebrew letters . It came to 5064. If you find another phrase with the same number there is a meaningful connection. I looked up my compendium that I wrote up, with numbers between 1 and 10,000 and my finding amazed me. 5064 is the sum of the Patriarchs, Matriarchs and 12 sons of Jacob as noted in Genesis. What does this mean to me? It teaches me that the universe and human beings of the Bible are really One.
