United States v. Banks: decisions based on actual loss, reduce White-Collar criminal penalties

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in Philadelphia held in United States v. Banks that judges may not use intended loss—instead, they may rely only on actual loss—to calculate the range of criminal penalties applicable in fraud cases. It will reduce the penalties that courts can impose for a wide array of other federal criminal offenses. But more broadly, its impact will be felt in·        deferred prosecution agreements (“DPAs”), ·        non-prosecution agreements (“NPAs”), and other·        negotiated resolutions where a penalty is based on the United States Sentencing Guidelines. The Banks decision, and other cases following its reasoning, may result in significantly lower penalties in a wide array of settlement agreements and contested criminal proceedings, such as:• Fraud cases where the penalty is based on either intended loss or gain, rather than actual loss;• Money laundering cases that involve commingled funds.• Financial transaction structuring cases involving a “pattern of unlawful activity”;• Tax cases involving multiple alleged violations; and• Any corporate resolution where a company seeks credit for self-reporting, cooperation, or acceptance of responsibility.The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in Philadelphia held in United States v.

Part I of IIWelcome. My name is Mark Blatstein and I'm the physician who found the physician presence report service. This is the first of a 2-part short series regarding the personal narrative and your allocution.  Your personal narrative and why is it so important that it's included in your presence report.  Right now the DOJ has released its narrative of you into the public domain and it's likely not too flattering. Therefore, before you go into your pre-sentence interview, this will be the first and only time you're able to challenge and change your own personal narrative.  Now is when your personal narrative can be directed toward the stakeholders in your future. So, who are the stakeholders in your future? These stakeholders are:·        The probation officer. o   The probation officer, the court’s representative will meet with you to do your pre-sentence interview. After the presence interview, o   they do the pre-sentence investigation. When they're through with all of that, they o   draft the official pre sentence report. o   When complete they send the pre-sentence report to the judge along with their recommendations for your sentence? ·        The next stakeholder is the judge.o    The judge, by this point already has a sentence in mind for you. o   It is possible that once he reads your personal narrative, assuming that it has been inserted into your pre-sentence report – the judge may wish to start a conversation with you regarding some of the points you raised in your narrative. ·        The next stakeholder is the administrative staff of the Federal Bureau of Prisons. o   They will place you into a federal prison without ever meeting you? ·        The next stakeholder is the Bureau of Prisons staff or your case managers o   They will refer to it regarding everything about you, §  your sleeping arrangements. §  Whether you get an upper bunk or lower bunk, §  your FSA programs ·        how easily it is for you to take the SPARC-13 survey, then get into a program. §  Your medical care. §  If you're entitled to getting into a halfway house, how quickly you are transferred. §  Regarding the halfway house, because of the limited bed space, once they review your Presentence report – will your Narrative make you a better candidate? §  Your Narrative could also affect your expedited release to home confinement.   In summary, this will affects how you interact with the judge. It allows you to challenge the DOJ narrative of you on the Internet as it is being read by the judge, family, friends, and strangers whom you will be interacting with in the future.  I hope you found this helpful.
