Summary of Greenberg's Plea deal
My il-legally trained read of the plea deal. Not a lawyer. Corrections welcome.
It details Greenberg’s crimes and mentions two people involved in his covid-19 loan schemes aka Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL)s.
The first 25 pages cover the plea deal. Lists the counts that he will plead to and says the rest will be dropped. Has to cooperate. Even “Personalization of Element” which I guess is what he’ll be asked at allocution”
The minimums and average times are long
Then details on counts
Count 1
Sounds like he has a sex compulsion. There’s a month of expenses, june 2017, where he paid around $425 each time for sex. Later in 2020 he wondered how fast he could blow 100k on “p...y”. Did the counting and math in head, but at that rate it is close to $10k per month for 3 years.
Regardless this is the count that covers the minor. Throw the book at him.
Count 8 and 9 and the feds
Aka fake driver licenses. Some for himself but maybe he sold some. Basically he uses his role at the dmv to make false ids.
First he bought a boat from someone and then used that person’s info to create a license with Greenberg’s address without that persons knowledge . Then another with Greenberg’s photo.
He then proceeded to make these federal offenses. Don’t do this at home kiddies.
Greenberg was the Tax Collector. He used his Tax Collector credit card to purchase a badge (license) making machine from office depot. Turns out the machine and were manufactured in France. That’s all it takes. Hello federales.
He couldn’t keep using the poor boat seller’s info to make licenses but no worries. There was a basket where the dmv kept the old licenses after renewals until they could be diligently destroyed every 45 days. Apparently they have to age before shredding.
Count 14 and the fire
The crypto currency. Big deal, but you can read good summaries about it I think and this isn’t one of them. Basically used his position to embezzle funds to make short term investments for the office but used it to buy crypto currency for himself instead
That wasn’t enough, so he used some of the proceeds to buy around $58,000 of servers to mine crypto currencies. Those servers wound up in the Tax Collector’s Office because of Covid.
Those machines couldn’t be examined because.....
Those machines
were damaged in a fire, which occurred due to a power surge caused by the way in which the machines were daisy chained together. The expenses incurred for the server room buildout,fire damage, and server room tear down in the Lake Mary branch were approximately $98,000. All of those costs were due to Greenberg using Tax Collector Office funds to benefit himself personally , including by operating a business out ofthe Tax Collector's Office for his personal benefit under the guise of Government
Blockchain Systems.
Yes, sounds like he plugged all these high powered servers which burn electricity like crazy into the same extension chords.
Count 24 or how republicans win elections
This is about Greenberg having an opponent in his re-election bid for the Tax Man gig and committing crimes to win.
Greenberg first sent a letter to the head of the school where the victim worked as a teacher then to 8 other faculty members. The letters were sent as if written by a student and described his concerns about a inappropriate homosexual relationship between and his friend who was also a student. Ages not mentioned.
Then Greenberg created imposter facebook and Twitter accounts making racist statements posing as the teacher.
Can’t paste either easily. You can see them on pages 71 and 72 of the doc.
Count 26 The covid loans and baby I can’t get enough
This is about fraud in applying for and getting covid-19 loans aka economic injury disaster loans (EIDL). This is where two other people who seem to be in legal trouble are mentioned. The recruiter conspirator and the SBA guy. Well covered elsewhere but one part caught me eye.
He was arrested on june 23 and continued committing fraud up to at least July 6.
appearance that day and was released on conditions, which included a prohibition on committing any new criminal offenses and a statement advising him that any new criminal violations would result in the possibility of additional terms of imprisonment
due to the fact that he was on pretrial release in his federal criminal case.
He couldn’t get enough but you probably have.
