McMurray man sentenced in check kiting scheme
Saturday, May 28, 2011
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Vincent A. Locastro, who took $545,872 through check kiting and identity theft, will have to pay it all back and serve three years probation, half of that under home detention, U.S. District Judge David S. Cercone decided Thursday.

Mr. Locastro, 47, of McMurray, was accused of using a trusting friend's name and Social Security number to get financing for nine luxury automobiles. He told the judge he "violated a dear friend's trust" and wants an opportunity to go from being "a good man" to "a better man."

Pretty much anyone down here who conspires with federal employees to misuse classified government databases is going to spend several years in prison. The stock frauds were a secondary part of that, IMHO. Tony did something that pisses off federal prosecutors, not a good idea.

The other problem

was his attempt to flee. That had a cost too.

You can understand how embarrassing it is for the Dept of Justice when their own agents get caught consorting with a guy like Tony and passing around classified information. When they got a chance to nail his hide to the wall, they didn't hold back.

A lot of their cases are about sending a message to others inside and outside government who might think about trying the same stunt. That's the only reason Martha Stewart went to prison, a warning to other white-collar miscreants to 'fess up from the start.

I thought he was put into prison because he's an Arab terrorist.
