The Price Of Faking A Divorce In Federal Court

[@Rickinsf]

Sounds like he defrauded a number of people and his wife was a knowing participant...tough beans.

[@stephenmorse3838]

So the judge and the probation officer had no proof that’s what happened but they just do what they want yeah sounds about right glad I live in a free country

[@bidensatraitor6211]

How about not committing a crime in the first place so you dont have to bring the true criminals into your life, the courts! Stakeholders? In what? CRIME?

[@sanjosemike3137]

This is called: “ATTEMPTING TO SHIELD ASSETS FROM THE JUDGMENT OF THE COURT.” In almost all cases it is actually illegal. Every attorney, when counseling clients SHOULD advise their client this is illegal. While we blame the client, he should have been told he cannot do this. This client probably paid upwards of 250,000 dollars to his attorneys. He should have been provided with a list of things he should not attempt. I get a little sick of clients being blamed for attorney errors. I blame his attorney as much as him. Sloppy representation can cause all kinds of problems. This was legal malpractice. The client has a cause of action against his attorney. Sanjosemike (no longer in CA) Retired surgeon

If only clients followed their attorney’s advice! This is very obviously fraud…. no one needs to remind you not to scam people, this guy knew what he was doing.

[@sanjosemike3137]

@@CarolCattle There are some very important issues you do not understand about court judgment risk. Thousands of physicians retire early due to risks against their retirement from spurious malpractice suits. This also extends to physicians who would like to administer charity treatments to patients when they can fit this into their schedule, or are ready to retire. I don’t mean to be unkind, but your view of judgment exposure is simplistic. I personally might have continued to practice non-surgical treatments after I retired on a completely charity basis. But a single malpractice attorney and their client could take away my retirement in the blink of an eye. The next time you find you have to wait 6 months to see a specialist, the doctor shortage will get personal. Sanjosemike (no longer in CA) Retired surgeon

Gee, lying to protect assets and only a year in prison? depending on the amount and the prison(might be a federal country club) could be worth it in his eyes....just saying....

Valid. Former PSI writer from SDNY. Everybody tells fanciful stories, but the flat out lies turned into recommendations for upward departures and special conditions for supervision.

Once you said stakeholders I knew who u voted for....put the cool aid down

Please explain what a 'steak holder' is!

[@ScottyCarper]

I know nowadays everyone thinks they’re especially savvy, but lying to the decision-makers is such a tremendous risk. I bet Justin has 1 million of examples of this. As a rule don’t underestimate people.

[@stevealexander8010]

Valid advice, but since I don't have any such problems this is zero interest to me

[@rickgreen7393]

The court wants to see that you're suffering. Seems petty

[@WhiteCollarAdviceOfficial]

Defendants have to understand government stakeholders. The only thing the court cares about is victims.

[@beleagueredmule2782]

Punitive judgment. Punishment is meted out and weighed. Some convicted can be barely scratched. You’ll pay for taking it in stride, standing defiant, tall, without showing “proper” remorse and deceiving the court. The high-priced attorneys got him probation. He thought himself slick while scoffing at the prospect of restitution.

[@beleagueredmule2782]

@@WhiteCollarAdviceOfficialI think our probationer agreed his wife was a “victim” too. He just wanted to make her whole, first.

[@TheDaneofCoosCounty]

@@WhiteCollarAdviceOfficial if the judge ACTUALLY cared about victims then cops wouldn’t walk away freely after murdering someone and would get harsher sentences than the average person. But we both know that doesn’t happen 🙄

What is a stakeholder?

[@casimerbrylski1900]

UNLESS YOUR TALKING TO CONGRESS.....THEN LIE ALL YOU WANT THERE IS NO CONSEQUENCE

[@tod3msn]

There are other walks of life aside from federal prison sentencing where a husband and wife say they are divorced or separated and live in the same house so your case is not breaking new grounds. Most reactions are not as draconian and the man and woman are told that is not going to fly. Let’s face facts there are some people who may aspire to doing right but the pull to be dishonest is stronger and they need to learn the hard way.

You can just say its Alex Jones.

[@tracyspringer558]

Every probation officer could not make it at law school, or pass the cop test be it fitness or just not smart enough. But every one lies about everything they say to judges.

[@Arizonacomet]

I wonder how probation officers measure up on five - factor personality trait tests.
