DOC 12 Filed 10/03/UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN SOUTHERN DIVISION UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, CRIMINAL NO. 17-20568 vs. HON. ROBERT H. CLELAND OFFENSE: 31 U.S.C. 5324 D-l CHRISTOPHER SORRENTINO, MAXIMUM PENALTIES: Up to 5 Years Imprisonment Defendant. Up to $250,000 ?ne Supervised Release: 3 years RULE 11 PLEA AGREEMENT Pursuant to Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, defendant CHRISTOPHER SORRENTINO and the government agree as follows: 1. Guilty Plea A. Count of Conviction The defendant will enter a plea of guilty to Count One of the Information, which charges him with structuring ?nancial transactions to evade a reporting requirement, in Violation of 31 U.S.C. 3524. B. Elements of Offense The following are the elements of the crime of structuring ?nancial transactions to evade a reporting requirement: Doc 12 Filed 10/03/(1) The defendant conducted or attempted to conduct a ?nancial transaction that involved a domestic ?nancial institution. (2) At the time the defendant conducted or attempted to conduct a ?nancial transaction, the defendant knew of the domestic ?nancial institution?s obligation to report currency transactions in excess of $10,000. (3) The defendant purposefully structured the transaction with the intent to evade that reporting requirement. C. Factual Basis for Guilty Plea The following facts are a suf?cient and accurate basis for defendant?s guilty plea: In 2014, the defendant owned a company that could perform work for municipalities in southeast Michigan. In approximately August 2014, an elected public of?cial in Macomb Township, Michigan asked the defendant to prepare a proposal for a job re-paving the parking lot of the Macomb Township Hall. The defendant prepared a proposal that quoted a price of $254,500 for the job to be conducted by his company, and he gave it to the elected of?cial. About two weeks later, the elected of?cial called the defendant and told him to immediately appear at the parking lot of the town hall to start work on the job. After the defendant appeared at the township hall parking lot that evening, he found that another company, which was unknown to the defendant, was already tearing up the old parking lot for purposes Doc 12 Filed 10/03/re-paving it. Other than taking some photographs of the work, the defendant and his company subsequently did none of the work removing the old asphalt parking lot and replacing it with it a new concrete parking lot. Instead, the other company completed all of the work on the parking lot. After the parking lot job was completed by the other company, the defendant received a check from Macomb Township for $254,500. The elected of?cial instructed the defendant to send a check for $181,055 to the other company which had actually performed the work. In addition, the elected of?cial instructed the defendant to give the elected of?cial the remaining money, at least $73,000, to the of?cial in cash. When the defendant objected to not receiving any portion of the $254,500 because the defendant would be responsible for paying taxes on the money he was paid by Macomb Township, the elected of?cial told the defendant that he could keep approximately $7,000 in order to pay a portion of the taxes. Finally, the elected of?cial informed the defendant that the elected of?cial would direct some future work for the township to the defendant and his company in compensation. As instructed, the defendant sent a check for $181,055 to the other company. On November 5, 2014, the defendant then wrote the following series of seven checks each made out to ?cash?: (1) $9,429, (2) $9,429, (3) $9,429, (4) $9,429, (5) $9,429, (6) $9,429, and (7) $9,450. The total amount of the checks was for $66,024. On November 5, 2014, the defendant caused all seven checks to be cashed at his bank in Doc 12 Filed 10/03/the Eastern District of Michigan. The defendant wrote the checks for amounts under $10,000 in order to evade the currency transaction reporting requirement at his bank. The defendant also was seeking to conceal the fact that he was gathering a large amount of cash to give to the elected of?cial. After the checks were cashed and the defendant had collected $66,024 in cash, the defendant delivered all of the cash to the elected of?cial in the building housing the Macomb County Department of Public Works in Clinton Township, Michigan. In 2015, the defendant was ?awarded? another job by the elected of?cial to re- pave a parking lot at the Macomb Township ?re station. Again, the other company performed all of the work on the job. In November 2015 the defendant?s company was paid $264,703 for this second job by Macomb Township. Again, as instructed by the elected of?cial, the defendant paid the second company for performing all of the work. In addition, the defendant gave at least $30,000 in cash to the elected of?cial. Again, the defendant was allowed to keep a portion of the money paid by Macomb Township in order to pay taxes. In the end, the defendant made no money on the two jobs for Macomb Township, but he instead lost money because of the taxes that he had to pay on the two jobs ?awarded? by the elected of?cial of Macomb Township. Doc 12 Filed 10/03/Sentencing Guidelines A. Standard of Proof The Court will ?nd sentencing factors by a preponderance of the evidence. B. Agreed Guideline Range There are no sentencing guideline disputes. Except as provided below, the parties recommend that the defendant?s guideline range is 10-16 months, as set forth on the attached worksheets. If the Court ?nds: 1. That defendant?s criminal history category is higher than re?ected on the attached worksheets, or 2. that the offense level should be higher because, after pleading guilty, defendant made any false statement to or withheld information from his probation of?cer; otherwise demonstrated a lack of acceptance of responsibility for his offense; or obstructed justice or committed any crime, and if any such ?nding results in a guideline range higher than 10-16 months, the higher guideline range becomes the agreed range. The Court is not bound by this recommendation concerning the guideline range, and the defendant understands that he will have no right to withdraw his guilty plea if the Court does not follow this recommendation. However, if the Court ?nds that defendant is a career offender, an armed career criminal, or a repeat and dangerous sex offender as de?ned under the Doc 12 Filed 10/03/sentencing guidelines or other federal law, and that ?nding is not already re?ected in the attached worksheets, this paragraph does not authorize a corresponding increase in the agreed range. Neither party may take a position concerning the applicable guidelines that is different than any position of that party as re?ected in the attached worksheets, except as necessary to the Court?s determination regarding subsections 1) and 2), above. 3. Sentence The Court will impose a sentence pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 3553, and in doing so must consider the sentencing guideline range. A. Imprisonment Pursuant to Rule the government makes a non-binding recommendation that the sentence of imprisonment be at the low end of the sentencing guideline range as determined by Paragraph 2B. B. Supervised Release A term of supervised release follows the term of imprisonment. The Court must impose a term of supervised release, which in this case is up to three years. The agreement concerning imprisonment described above in Paragraph 3A does not apply to any term of imprisonment that results from any later revocation of supervised release. DOC 12 Filed 10/03/Special Assessment The defendant will pay a special assessment of $100 at the time of sentencing. D. Fine The parties agree that the ?ne will be no more than the maximum amount of $250,000. E. Restitution The Court shall order restitution to every identi?able victim of the defendant?s offense. 4. Use of Withdrawn Guilty Plea If the Court allows the defendant to withdraw his guilty plea for a ?fair and just reason? pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. the defendant waives his rights under Fed. R. Evid. 410, and the government may use his guilty plea, any statement made under oath at the change-of?plea hearing, and the factual basis statement in this plea agreement, against him in any proceeding. 5. Other Charges If the Court accepts this agreement, the government will not bring any additional charges based on defendant?s conduct described in this agreement. Doc 12 Filed 10/03/Each Party?s Right to Withdraw from This Agreement The recommendations in Paragraph 3 are not binding on the Court. Defendant has no right to withdraw his guilty plea and the parties have no right to withdraw from this agreement if the Court decides not to follow them. 7. Appeal Waiver The defendant waives any right he may have to appeal his conviction on any grounds. If the defendant?s sentence of imprisonment does not exceed 16 months, the defendant also waives any right he may have to appeal his sentence on any grounds. If the defendant?s sentence of imprisonment is at least 10 months, the government waives any right it may have to appeal the defendant?s sentence. This waiver does not bar ?ling a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel in court. 8. Consequences of Withdrawal of Guilty Plea or Vacation of Conviction If defendant is allowed to withdraw his guilty plea or if any conviction entered pursuant to this agreement is vacated, the Court shall, on the government?s request, reinstate any charges that were dismissed as part of this agreement. If additional charges are ?led against defendant within six months after the date the order vacating defendant's conviction or allowing him to withdraw his guilty plea becomes ?nal, which charges relate directly or indirectly to the conduct underlying the guilty plea or to any conduct re?ected in the attached worksheets, defendant waives his right to Doc 12 Filed 10/03/challenge the additional charges on the ground that they were not ?led in a timely manner, including any claim that they were ?led after the limitations period expired. 9. Parties to Plea Agreement Unless otherwise indicated, this agreement does not bind any government agency except the United States Attomey?s Of?ce for the Eastern District of Michigan. 10. Scope of Plea Agreement This agreement, which includes all documents that it explicitly incorporates, is the complete agreement between the parties. This agreement supersedes all other promises, representations, understandings and agreements between the parties concerning the subject matter of this plea agreement that were made at any time before the guilty plea is entered in court. Thus, no oral or written promises made by the government to defendant or to the attorney for the defendant at any time before defendant pleads guilty are binding except to the extent they have been explicitly incorporated into this agreement. Notwithstanding the previous paragraph, if defendant has entered into a proffer agreement in writing or a cooperation agreement in writing with the government, this plea agreement does not supersede or abrogate the terms of any such prior written agreement. Doc 12 Filed 10/03/This agreement also does not prevent any civil or administrative actions against defendant, or any forfeiture claim against any property, by the United States or any other party. 11. Acceptance of Agreement by Defendant This plea offer expires unless it has been received, fully signed, in the Office of the United States Attorney by 5:00 P.M. on June 30, 2017. The government reserves the right to modify or revoke this offer at any time before defendant pleads guilty. DANIEL L. LEMISCH Acting U1 ed State ttorney A. GMEY R.
