| Subject: Rot, you statist maggot: Michael Grimm, Former Congressman, Is Sentenced to 8 Months Sat Jul 18, 2015 4:17 am | |
| He spoke of his service to his country, his remorse for breaking the law, and the humiliation he has suffered because of it. Then the former congressman, Michael G. Grimm, asked for mercy from the court. Leniency, it turned out, did not come easily. “Your moral compass, Mr. Grimm, needs some reorientation,” Judge Pamela K. Chen said on Friday, before sentencing him to eight months in prison for tax fraud. A federal investigation that initially focused on Mr. Grimm’s campaign fund-raising turned into a 20-count indictment related to his running of a restaurant in Manhattan called Healthalicious. Prosecutors said he underreported wages and revenue to the government and filed false tax documents as a result. Mr. Grimm pleaded guilty in December to one count of tax fraud, a felony.
