The deal: 2yrs incarceration, 5yrs probation, and full restitution. Seriously!? Mine as well kill me with a double edge sword, stick it a couple of times while you're at it. All of that for what exactly?
Here's an example: I apparently used company funds to pay my utility bills...um, I...
Perhaps you misunderstood what I was saying. I was "let go" after they claimed I did something (from 2004-2007). I know I didn't but I had no choice but to leave my job based on speculation. I immediately filed for unemployment, they contested and I fought it and won. They had no concrete...
That 1 count is $1500. Yes, I just said fifteen hundred dollars...why is this in federal court again? The other 4 counts are all under $1,000. But the overall "scheme" equates to $243k!
So why are all the counts so low in their $ amounts? They couldn't come up with something larger? Not...
Thank you for your response.
To take this further...
Why is it that they charge you with 5 counts of wire fraud, then ask you to plead guilty to 1 and with that all of a sudden you're responsible for ALL monies they claim they lost versus the money they actually listed with the 1 charge...
Very simply put...
Do wire fraud charges only apply to financial institutions?
Can you be charged with wire fraud if it was allegedly done by a corporate credit card owned by a company that was NOT a financial institution?
Thank you in advance for your input.
Army Judge - I'm zone C, not zone D...I was wrong. With "D" there's only straight prison time, no deviation allowed. In "C" I could possibly get home detention, furlough, etc. Right?
The complaint came from a bank that I wrote a bad check, once they got their indictment I saw that they included the fraud from my previous employer stemming from a civil suit. I had no idea that this would be part of my overall charges especially since nothing was proven. The federal agents...
I must add that this whole thing stems from a civil lawsuit I filed against my previous employer. The $ amount is their counter claim. We dismissed the civil suit per my request and the next thing you know I have federal agents knocking on my door a month later.
Makes me wonder.
This is me in a nut shell...
1) No prior arrests
2) No convictions
3) No felonies
4) 35 years old
5) Some college (2yrs)
6) Mother of 2
7) Wife of 1
8) Been sole provider for 7+ years
9) Prison, being in trouble w/ the law is not a way of life for me.
Nine counts that include wire fraud, mail...
So I'm formally charged with 9 counts in federal court...all economic, no drugs, no guns, no murder.
I'm offered a plea deal that the prosecution thinks is a "fair" deal but I don't agree. First of all, I refuse to plead guilty to taking more than $200k when there's no way on this planet...
In Cook County, IL.
We've been behind in the rent (Aug & Sept) and we're trying to make it right with the landlord. I've been unemployed for some time now and we're now borrowing money to pay it all.
I sent one month's rent a week ago only to be told that they won't accept ANY payment...
Just curious to know anyone's thoughts on keeping a federal defender vs. hiring an attorney.
My federal defender use to be a federal prosecutor and seems to know the in's & out's of the system and plenty of the judges, especially the one I'm in front of. The only exception is that my FD...
