This old story is well, old, but in all fairness, this happened just up the road from me, literally. It seemed really suspicious and almost bogus from the get-go. I recall the local reports of the time and couldn’t help feeling there was something wrong with this story. Turns out, I was right.
The charges carry penalties of up to five years in federal prison for lying to a federal law enforcement officer and up to 20 years for mail fraud. Prosecutors agreed as part of the plea bargain to recommend a sentence on the low end of the sentencing range, estimated for Papini to be between eight and 14 months in custody.
