PITTSBURGH, Pa. –A former resident of Ozone Park, New York, has been sentenced in federal court to 87 months in prison and three years of supervised release on his conviction of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and aggravated identity theft, United States Attorney Scott W. Brady announced today.

United States District Judge David S. Cercone imposed the sentence on Abiodun Bakre, who was in the United States illegally during the period in which he committed the offenses. In imposing sentence, Judge Cercone noted that the wire fraud conspiracy in which Bakre participated was the largest financial fraud case the Court had presided over in more than 30 years on the bench. All told, the fraud involved over $69 million in attempted losses, with more than $20 million in fraudulently obtained federal tax refunds actually being sent out by the Internal Revenue Service. The Court also noted that over 11,000 people "were the victims of this nefarious activity."

He’s illegal, why does he get any supervised release? After he serves his time, send his butt back to wherever it came from.

It was the policy during Obama regime. That needs to change quickly! But keep in mind majority of republican congress critters are globalists as ordered by their mega-rich donors. So it is not just democrats wanting more voters, it is also the enemy within.

They don’t even need a court order to steal everything you have in the bank.

According to what I was once told, they would be in court all of the time if they followed the Constitution.

My point was that as an Illegal Alien who has committed a serious crime, why is there a requirement for 3 years supervision afterwards, rather than a deportment?

Yeah Yeah, I am not allowed any paper receipts for 7 years, but they can’t find Lois Lerner’s emails.

I agree with you on the being deported for an illegal is needed, however, three years supervision for $20 million stolen thru Identity Theft is nothing! People cannot get most of that money back, it is a loss! They would have to have Life Lock or similar, and if it’s not stolen in a way it’s covered, it’s a total loss. Deportees usually just return illegally! We need the Wall.
