Update!
Remember this guy? He defrauded people through his numerous Super PACs but made high level Republican friends anyway and he ran for congress, too.
Well, Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen just called and said, “Guilty!”
A former candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives pleaded guilty today to wire fraud and willfully violating the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA) by operating fraudulent and unregistered political action committees.
Harold Russell Taub, 30, of Cranston, Rhode Island, pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud and one count of willfully violating FECA before U.S. District Judge William E. Smith for the District of Rhode Island. Sentencing is set for July 12, 2019.
Odds are that he won’t go to jail, but probably will get probation and have to pay back all the money. But then again, if the judge is in a foul mood that day ….
Just thought you’d want to know that his cockiness level dropped below freezing.
Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dar Queen for the heads up.
Let’s hope the judge has a toothache, a flat tire and can’t
1sleep the day he/she sentences this crook. Jail time is the only
consequence he’ll understand.
maryelle – IDK, seems to me that punishment in the pocketbook is a pretty good consequence. Perhaps both would be appropriate. But, to continue the above story, I wish there were some sort of “dumbness vaccine” that would prevent querulous old people from being conned.
