John Harder agreed to have committed this crime and pleaded guilty during the month of January. He formally accepted that he had “engaged in financial transactions relating to property that involved unlawful means”
Judge Michael Simon during the past week announced the sentence that the prosecutors were after. The attorney that was hired by the defendant kept pleading for five years but he couldn’t get them; much to the delight of the prosecutors and the victims.
The prosecutors have got no love to show for Harder and they have since the past few months been revealing facts about him that further add to his notoriety. They even mentioned that during 2006 to 2008, Harder was responsible for committing fraud involving around 1100 investors. Victims like Harder deserve no other place than a jail and behind the bars is where they need to contemplate whether they are going to improve their performance as a citizen of the US and as a human being generally or continue to visit the place after they complete their sentence. Here’s hoping that actions like these never cease to take place.
