Your statement was certainly less than we would have expected.
Such a tease you are.

Which was the top of the range in the PSR, so there was really no upward adjustment.Demosthenes wrote:33 months.
I'm surprised.

Re: Hendrickson's sentence
From the Detroit News:
http://www.detnews.com/article/20100419 ... fraud-case
--from the Detroit NewsDetroit -- A man whose claims that most earnings are not subject to income tax have drawn national attention was sentenced to two years and nine months in prison Monday by a federal judge.
Peter Hendrickson, 54, of Commerce Township, whose views on federal income tax are detailed in his book "Cracking the Code," was found guilty of 10 counts of filing false documents by a federal jury in October.
Chief U.S. District Judge Gerald E. Rosen bristled when a courtroom full of Hendrickson's supporters burst into applause after the defendant's pre-sentencing speech and said Hendrickson has taken on the mantle of an anti-tax hero.
"You simply do not respect the law and do not respect your obligation as a citizen to follow the law," Rosen told Hendrickson.
He also ordered Hendrickson to pay a $25,000 fine, close to $30,000 in restitution, and repay the cost of his prosecution. After he is released from prison, Hendrickson is to serve six years of supervised release, Rosen said.
[ . . . ]
Hendrickson, who was allowed to remain free on bond until the Bureau of Prisons asks him to report, said he will appeal both his convictions and his sentence.....

Re: Hendrickson's sentence
The relatively long period of supervised release (six years) is good news, because one of the conditions is sure to be the filing of accurate income tax returns.

Demosthenes wrote:33 months.
That's about right where I expected things to come out. The 6 years of supervised release is likely going to be the hardest part for Hendrickson, since once he gets out he's going to be filled with pent up rage only to realize that he can't really do anything about it or else go back to prison. 2.5 years is still a very long time in the clinker.

Re: Hendrickson's sentence
Well he'll have some time to come up with his next method...I mean scam...I mean system...I mean book... yeah book that sounds good. Here's hoping he violates the supervised release ten minutes out of jail lands in for another 6 years.Demosthenes wrote:33 months.

Yeah. I'm wondering about that wager too, and I'm wondering why the website is still up. Springer's website was darkened immediately after the guilty verdict. What's with Pete's?Nikki wrote:Two things:

Re: Hendrickson's sentence
The "wager" is first mentioned here:
BUT, in the thread where the wager was first mentioned, we have a post:
But then:Harvester wrote:The silver coin in my pocket still says . . . . Pete Hendrickson WILL NOT be sentenced on April 19, 2010.Famspear wrote:Come on, Holy Man, tell us what's gonna happen to the PontificatingPrisonBoundPeterMeister on April 19, 2010.
Then:Brandybuck wrote:And I have a gold coin in my safe saying that the IRS will still be harassing folks come April 1st 2011.
The thread here formalizes it.Harvester wrote:OK, you're on BrandyB [handshake].
BUT, in the thread where the wager was first mentioned, we have a post:
So, while it's not the "Big Bet," it does appear that Harvester made a bet with Famspear (although I can't find where Famspear acknowledged it), and lost.Harvester wrote:Brandy, calm down. I accept your wager as stipulated. The Hendrickson 'never' references a separate wager I have with Fampspear.

Re: Hendrickson's sentence
I am pretty sure Famspear did not accept, because he was afraid that the sentencing might get postponed then he would owe Harvester a silver coin.

Re: Hendrickson's sentence
Then it looks like Harvester dodged a bullet. If Famspear accepted, Harvester would have had to shell out a silver coin now, and again in April 2011.bmielke wrote:I am pretty sure Famspear did not accept, because he was afraid that the sentencing might get postponed then he would owe Harvester a silver coin.

Speaking of Harvester and Nationwide et. al.
Shouldn't he be here explaining to us poor Quatloosians how his is actuall Petey's finest victory proof of the huge conspiracy or some such?
