immediate issuance of a warrant for your arrest, a revocation of your release,
an order of detention, a forfeiture of any bond, and a prosecution for contempt
of court and could result in imprisonment, a fine, or both.

If you commit a federal felony offense while on release, the punishment
is an additional prison term of not more than ten years. For a federal
misdemeanor offense, the punishment is an additional prison term of not more
than one year. This sentence will be consecutive to (i.e., in addition to) any
other sentence you receive.

It is a crime punishable by up to ten years in prison, and a $250,000 fine,
or both, to: obstruct a criminal investigation; tamper with a witness, victim,
or informant; retaliate or attempt to retaliate against a witness, victim, or
Case 2:23-cr-00009-KCD-DNF     Document 14     Filed 01/31/23     Page 8 of 9 PageID 139
or informant; retaliate or attempt to retaliate against a witness, victim, or
informant; or intimidate or attempt to intimidate a witness, victim, juror,
informant, or officer of the court. The penalties for tampering, retaliation, or
intimidation are significantly more serious if they involve a killing or
attempted killing.

If, after release, you knowingly fail to appear as the conditions of release
require or to surrender to serve a sentence, you may be prosecuted for failing
to appear or surrender and additional punishment may be imposed. If you
are convicted of:

(1) an offense punishable by death, life imprisonment, or
imprisonment for a term of fifteen years or more — you will be
fined not more than $250,000 or imprisoned for not more than 10
years, or both;

2) an offense punishable by imprisonment for a term of five years or
more, but less than fifteen years — you will be fined not more than
$250,000 or imprisoned for not more than five years, or both;

(3) any other felony — you will be fined not more than $250,000 or
imprisoned not more than two years, or both;

(4) a misdemeanor — you will be fined not more than $100,000 or
imprisoned not more than one year, or both.

A term of imprisonment imposed for failure to appear or surrender will
be consecutive to any other sentence you receive. In addition, a failure to
appear or surrender may result in the forfeiture of any bond posted.
