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.
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.
