USA vs. Oumar Sissoko [41482-509] Docket No.: CR 21-187-JFW
The amount of restitution ordered shall be paid as follows:
Victim Amount
JPMorgan Chase Bank $427,327.65
Small Business Administration $ 72,500.00
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
$100, 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.
The amount of restitution ordered shall be paid as set forth on the list attached to this judgment. If the defendant makes
a partial payment, each payee shall receive approximately proportional payment unless another priority order or
percentage payment is specified in the judgment.
Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3612(f)(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).
The defendant shall comply with Second Amended General Order No. 20-04.
Pursuant to Guideline § 5E1.2(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.
The preliminary order of forfeiture filed on October 6, 2022 [docket no. 219] is incorporated by reference into this
judgment and is final.
The drug testing condition mandated by statute is suspended based on the Court's determination that the defendant
poses a low risk of substance abuse.
The Court authorizes the Probation Officer to disclose the Presentence Report, and/or any previous mental health
evaluations or reports, to the treatment provider. The treatment provider may provide information (excluding the
Presentence report), to State or local social service agencies (such as the State of California, Department of Social
Service), for the purpose of rehabilitation.
Defendant informed of right to appeal.
It is further ordered that the defendant shall surrender to the institution designated by the Bureau of Prisons on or
before 12 noon, on January 6, 2023. 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: 350 W. First Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012
The current terms and conditions of defendant's release shall remain in effect until the defendant begins serving the
sentence imposed by the Court.
