Advice and Comments
AF. Attempt and conspiracy are bad pleas where fraud or deceit results in loss to victim/s exceeding $10k.1One defense to fraud/deceit with a loss exceeding $10,000 is to plead to a single count where loss was less than $10k, and at sentencing agree to restitution order of more than $10k with a Harvey To make it crystal clear to immigration judges, if possible, state that the additional payment is due to dropped charges and uncharged conduct. Avoid a plea to attempt or conspiracy, which may give DHS more opening to include the whole amount. Instead plead to straight theft, PC 487, w/ less than 1 yr, or see PC 470
