akas: _Camion, Philp Frederick

MONTH DAY YEAR

In the presence of the attorney for the government, the defendant appeared in person on this date. 05 28 2026
COUNSEL Michael Gregory Freedman
(Name of Counsel)
PLEA GUILTY, and the court being satisfied that there is a factual basis for the plea. [ | NOLO [ NOT
CONTENDERE GUILTY

FINDING There being a finding/verdict of GUILTY, defendant has been convicted as charged of the offense(s) of:

CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT WIRE FRAUD in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1349 as charged in a Single-Count Information.

JUDGMENT | The Court asked whether there was any reason why judgment should not be pronounced. Because no sufficient cause to the

AND PROB/ | contrary was shown, or appeared to the Court, the Court adjudged the defendant guilty as charged and convicted and ordered
COMM that pursuant to the Sentencing Reform Act of 1984, the defendant, Philip Frederick Camino, be committed on the Single-Count
ORDER Information to the custody of the Bureau of Prisons to be imprisoned for a term of FOURTY-ONE (41) MONTHS.

Having considered the sentencing factors enumerated at 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) including the advisory
guideline range of 41 to 51 months based upon an offense level of 22 and a criminal history category of I,
the court orders the following sentence:

It is ordered that the defendant shall pay to the United States a special assessment of $100, which is due
immediately. Any unpaid balance shall be due during the period of imprisonment, at the rate of not less than
$25 per quarter, and pursuant to the Bureau of Prisons’ Inmate Financial Responsibility Program.

It is ordered that the defendant shall pay restitution in the total amount of $4,365,667.50 pursuant to 18
U.S.C. § 3663A, in the amounts listed for the respective victim banks in Exhibit A of Docket 31, which is
incorporated into this judgment by this reference. Restitution shall be due during the period of
imprisonment, at the rate of not less than $25 per quarter, and pursuant to the Bureau of Prisons' Inmate
Financial Responsibility Program. If any amount of the restitution remains unpaid after release from
custody, nominal monthly payments of at least 10% of defendant's gross monthly income but not less than
$300, whichever is greater, shall be made during the period of supervised release and shall begin 90 days
after the commencement of supervision.

Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3612(£)(3)(A), interest on the restitution ordered is waived because the defendant
does not have the ability to pay interest. Payments may be subject to penalties for default and delinquency
pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3612(g).

Pursuant to Guideline § SE1.2(a), all fines are waived as the Court finds that the defendant has established
that he is unable to pay and is not likely to become able to pay any fine.
