Kaiser sentenced today - $10K fine, less than the $15K plea bargain. Looks like the judge didn't think much of the case.
Kaiser's sentencing memo makes it clear that James A'Hearn was indeed the one who approached Kaiser to work for LP. Interestingly, Kaiser says that they've never met face-to-face.
Judge still hasn't made a restitution decision in the JF/JL criminal cases. Back in October he ordered the DoJ to file the internal taint investigation report on AUSA Victor Wild - the prosecutor in the O'Riordan case; initial lead on the LP/JL/JF cases; director (bizarrely) of penny-scam EVRM and/or one of its subsidiaries, alongside with LP's outside counsel who is also a Tom Murphy associate.
Text of order:
It has come to my attention that the United States Attorneys
Office has publicly announced findings and conclusions by the
United States Department of Justice Office of Professional
Responsibility that suggestions of misconduct by Assistant United
States Attorney Victor Wild related to this case “lack[] factual
support and were without merit.”
This case remains under consideration in this court in
connection with the preparation of a full written explanation
sought by the parties in connection with their noticed cross
appeals concerning the grounds for disposing of post trial
motions. The action and reasoning of the Office of Professional
Responsibility are relevant and perhaps material to the
Memorandum and Order I now have in draft.
Moreover, I have indicated that to the degree the suggestions of misconduct are directed to a sentencing proceeding in a case before Judge Wolf [ie Dan O'Riordan's case],it is my intention to forward to Judge Wolf my Memorandum and Order thereby directing his attention to the relevant filings bythe parties before me. The Office of Professional Responsibility report would be relevant and perhaps material to that referral as well.
Consequently, the government is hereby ORDERED to submit, on
or before October 28, 2013 for docketing in this case, subject to
a motion to seal if impoundment is sought, the report of the
Office of Professional Responsibility regarding Assistant United
States Attorney Wild.
The DoJ filed the report under seal.
