About this episode
A defendant expected probation. Instead, he got 120 days in federal prison. He cooperated, repaid the money, and took responsibility. But he failed to disclose unpaid employment taxes for his nanny. That one oversight made the judge question his honesty. The government assumed if he hid this, what else was he hiding? In federal cases, small mistakes have big consequences. The past can't be changed, but you can prepare better. Assume every decision is under scrutiny.
