FALSELY CLAIMED HE WAS SELLING GOV’T SEIZED CARS, PLANES AND VESSELS
In early February, a Salt Lake City federal grand jury indicted GG for “wire fraud, making a false statement, impersonating a federal officer and aggravated identity theft.”
Apparently, this Utah man represented that he could procure government-seized cars, planes and vessels at a discount. But rather than purchasing those goods, GG pocketed some $2.8 million in cash.
While his sentencing had not yet been scheduled -- as of the date of the press release issued by the United States Department of Justice -- the man faces up to two decades in prison for wire fraud, up to five years for making a false statement to an IRS special agent, three years for impersonating a federal officer, and two years for aggravated identity theft.
An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
Payback’s gonna be a bitch, no?
