Former Baltimore Mayor Sentenced To Three Years In Federal Prison

Former Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh was sentenced to three years in federal prison Thursday after she pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy and tax evasion related money she received from sales of her self-published children’s book series.

Prosecutors said Pugh, a Democrat who served as Baltimore’s mayor from 2016 to 2019, received more than $850,000 in sales from her “Healthy Holly” books to the University of Maryland Medical System (UMMS) and other entities she was connected to.

Pugh admitted in her plea deal that she double-sold books to multiple purchasers and also accepted payments for books that were never delivered. The former mayor also admitted to using the fraudulent proceeds to funnel straw donations to her mayoral campaign and to fund the purchase and renovation of a house in Baltimore.

“I messed up. I really messed up,” Pugh, 69, said in an apology video released Wednesday. “I accept total responsibility. I pled guilty and I’m sorry. I don’t know any other words that could be strong. I am so sorry.”

The context for this is http://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,383104.0.html

IMO, 3 years is quite light. This wasn't simple fraud. Pugh used her position on the hospital board to arm-twist hospitals into buying childrens' books in vastly excessive quantities that never got delivered.

Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Double selling books? Isn't that how the Pantsuit Assassin's missives make it onto the NYTimes best seller list?
