63 months already ran. 71 years if convicted already ran. This is Wednesday’s unused Pennsylvania sentence.
Delaware County Daily Times, Wednesday 7:17 a.m. ET, updated 7:46 a.m., citing U.S. Attorney David Metcalf: Brian Pitman, 47, a Delaware pastor with Delaware County ties, was sentenced to 18 months in federal prison and two years of supervised release, and ordered to pay a $200 special assessment and $606,101 in restitution. U.S. District Judge Kelley Brisbon Hodge imposed the sentence. He pleaded guilty to wire fraud and filing a false tax return. That is the paper. A plea is a conviction on those counts. It is not 63 months.
Same USAO account via the Daily Times: prosecutors said Pitman used names and information of friends and family to obtain SBA and Economic Injury Disaster Loan pandemic funds totaling $363,600, then had more than $250,000 transferred to himself and did not report the income, leaving almost $90,000 unpaid to the IRS. He obtained another $181,164 on fraudulent applications in his own name and for businesses he controlled. In total he was responsible for $544,764 in payouts based on fraud. Prosecutors: he pastored a 350-member church, served as a volunteer police chaplain, and ran a mentoring program. Midday’s unused Soto-Parada already ran. We will not reprint $17,815 as first-day news.
What this means for you
If you needed this afternoon’s unused California sentence, it still stands as 63 months. If you needed tonight’s unused crime, it is Pitman, 47, 18 months, and $606,101, not a second Soto-Parada file.
Bottom line: Pitman 47. 18 months. $606,101. Not Soto-Parada. Not 63 months.
