SDNY COURTHOUSE, August 16 – Luis Toribio was charged with bank fraud for misleadingly operation a money-services business which he claimed was licensed in New Jersey but, the prosecution said, was not. He pled guilty.
On August 16, 2022 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Gregory H. Woods held his sentencing. Inner City Press went and covered it.
Toribio's lawyer said that banks have systems in place to catch this. The AUSA nevertheless called for a guideline sentence. Toribio said he was sorry.
Judge Woods noted that Toribio went to Hunter College and was an active member of his community (the gallery was full; Inner City Press was the only media there).
He went below the guidelines: three months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release.
The case is US v. Toribio, 22-cr-246 (Woods)
