The U.S. Attorney’s office in Philadelphia presented a memorandum to U.S. District Court Judge Franklin Antwerpen outlining its reasons why Michael A. Solomon, who plead guilty to mail fraud and tax evasion charges in January, should be given a stiff sentence.
Solomon, a former aide to Northhampton County Supervisor Glenn Reibman, admitted conspiring with insurance agent Gary Chromiak in obtaining $260,000 in illegal insurance commissions, and to steering $127,750 in computer consulting contract business to a company he controlled.
Chromiak, who plead guilty for his part in the scheme last May and received a one-year prison sentence, has acted as a government witness against Solomon.
Under the plea bargain Solomon faced a two to two and a half year prison sentence, but his part as the organizer of the fraud and his failure to file tax returns have caused the U.S. Attorney to seek a harsher sentence.
