JUDGMENT
AND PROB/
COMM
ORDER
The Court asked whether there was any reason why judgment should not be pronounced. Because no sufficient cause to the
contrary was shown, or appeared to the Court, the Court adjudged the defendant guilty as charged and convicted and ordered
that: Pursuant to the Sentencing Reform Act of 1984, it is the judgment of the Court that the defendant is hereby committed to
the custody of the Bureau of Prisons to be imprisoned for a term of: THIRTY (30) MONTHS
Upon release from imprisonment, the defendant shall be placed on supervised release for a term of three years under the following
terms and conditions:
1. The defendant shall comply with the rules and regulations of the United States Probation & Pretrial Services Office and Second
Amended General Order 20-04, including the conditions of probation and supervised release set forth in Section III of Second
Amended General Order 20-04.
2. The defendant shall comply with the immigration rules and regulations of the United States, and if deported from this country,
either voluntarily or involuntarily, not reenter the United States illegally. The defendant is not required to report to the Probation
& Pretrial Services Office while residing outside of the United States; however, within 72 hours of release from any custody or
any reentry to the United States during the period of Court-ordered supervision, the defendant shall report for instructions to the
United States Probation Office located at: the 300 N. Los Angeles Street, Suite 1300, Los Angeles, CA 90012-3323.
3. The defendant shall not obtain or possess any driver's license, Social Security number, birth certificate, passport or any other form
of identification in any name, other than the defendant's true legal name, nor shall the defendant use, any name other than the
defendant's true legal name without the prior written approval of the Probation Officer.
4. The defendant shall apply all monies received from income tax refunds, lottery winnings, inheritance, judgments and any other
financial gains to the Court-ordered financial obligation.
5. The defendant shall submit the defendant's person, property, house, residence, vehicle, papers, or other areas under the
defendant's control, to a search conducted by a United States Probation Officer or law enforcement officer. Failure to submit to a
search may be grounds for revocation. The defendant shall warn any other occupants that the premises may be subject to searches
pursuant to this condition. Any search pursuant to this condition will be conducted at a reasonable time and in a reasonable
manner upon reasonable suspicion that the defendant has violated a condition of his supervision and that the areas to be searched
contain evidence of this violation.
6. The defendant shall cooperate in the collection of a DNA sample from the defendant.

It is ordered that the defendant shall pay to the United States a special assessment of $100, which is due immediately.
It is ordered that the defendant shall pay restitution in the total amount of $430,087 pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3663A.
The amount of restitution ordered shall be paid as follows:
Victim Name:
Amount of Loss:
Celtic Bank
$130,187
US Small Business Administration
$299,990
A partial payment of $15,000 shall be paid immediately. 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
$500, whichever is greater, shall be made during the period of supervised release and shall begin 90 days after the commencement of
supervision. Nominal restitution payments are ordered as the Court finds that the defendant's economic circumstances do not allow for either
immediate or future payment of the amount ordered.
It is further ordered that the defendant surrender himself to the institution designated by the Bureau of Prisons on or before 12 noon,
October 27, 2021. In the absence of such designation, the defendant shall report on or before the same date and time, to the United States
Marshal located at: First Street Courthouse, 350 West 1st Street, 3rd Floor, Los Angeles, California 90012.

The defendant’s green card shall be returned after surrender.
Bond is exonerated upon surrender.
In addition to the special conditions of supervision imposed above, it is hereby ordered that the Standard Conditions of Probation and
Supervised Release within this judgment be imposed. The Court may change the conditions of supervision, reduce or extend the period of
supervision, and at any time during the supervision period or within the maximum period permitted by law, may issue a warrant and revoke
supervision for a violation occurring during the supervision period.
