CRIMINAL NO. 17-20568
vs. HON. ROBERT H. CLELAND
OFFENSE: 31 U.S.C. 5324
D-l CHRISTOPHER SORRENTINO,
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.
