SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 3 –
Cinthia Federo worked in a tax
preparation business in The
Bronx and was charged with
fraud involving the Earned
Income Tax Credit program.
In May 2019 along
with co-defendants she pleaded
not guilty, as reported here
by Inner City Press on May
17.
On January
30, 2020 she appeared again,
this time to plead guilty,
before U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Judge Sidney H. Stein.
She agreed not to appeal or
otherwise challenge any
sentence below 41 months, and
to file corrected tax
returns.
One hiccup in the
guilty plea allocution came as
to the possible re-payment of
up to $2 million dollars.
Judge Stein emphasized that
there was no way to know what
the number would be. Things
proceeded, and the plea was
accepted. The case is US v.
Federo, 18-cr-879
(Stein).
