What was Harun sentenced to?

60 months in the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, three years of supervised release, a $100 assessment and restitution of $547,095.07, ordered payable to the U.S. Small Business Administration as the sole payee. No fine was imposed and she was remanded to the Marshal.

Why was the restitution amount corrected?

An order of January 29, 2024 records that the restitution figure read into the record at the end of the sentencing hearing, $552,679.14, was a clerical mistake also recorded in the minutes, and that the amount taken in evidence, announced during the hearing and entered in the judgment is $547,095.07. The court corrected it under Rule 36.

What has happened since?

Harun moved under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 to vacate, set aside or correct her sentence. On April 30, 2026 the magistrate judge reported and recommended that the government's motion to dismiss be granted, the § 2255 motion be dismissed without an evidentiary hearing, the motions to supplement the record be denied, the case be closed and final judgment be entered for the respondent. Objections and supplemental objections were filed in June 2026.
