Sam, 1st off I want to thank you, for all you do for prisoners across the US. I hired you in 2021 when you were with the other guys and paid you $7,500 to help me with my pre-sentencing as well as everything else before going to prison. I want you to know you did a great job for me and I’m forever thankful for that. I do understand you had a problem with your partners but I want you to know, I understand how things work in business. I’ve been my own boss my entire life and being an action oriented entrepreneur who has built, bought and even lost multi million dollar organizations, I do understand things happen and partners split up. You did an excellent job for me and again I cannot thank you enough. I plead guilty to Wire Fraud on the Covide Loans. Long story short I applied for loans totaling just under a million dollars and in the end I received $375k which I spent on personal items and investments. If you google my name it says I got just under a million but that is not true since when Bank of America figured it out they froze my accounts. I'm glad they froze my accounts because I know now I hurt a lot of people and I plan to pay every penny back. I have it down to $200k left in restitution.I could have received 110 months but thanks to the help preparing for sentencing, the judge gave me 41 months which I took full responsibility and accepted my sentence with a thank you your honor. Once in the Duluth Camp, I did everything you taught me, including qualified/completed RDAP, which I would have not known about had your organization not told me about. With all the programs you prepared me for such as RDAP, good behavior, and the First Step Act I was able to go to a halfway house after 13 months. I spent 2 months at the halfway house and then went home for 3 more months of house arrest. On December 21, 2023, I can proudly say I was released from the BOP and am now a year and a half into the 3 years of aftercare. I read and watched everything I could on your website, and that not only helped me to reduce my sentence but I knew just about everything before it happened. I knew what my 1st day would be like, I knew what not to say and more importantly what to say to others in prison. I talked to so many people who said when they came to Duluth they thought they were going to a high-security prison, they had no idea that there wouldn't be any fences and no locks on our doors. Thank you for everything and if you ever need anything from me please feel free to reach out. I have a lot of free time and would love to help you and your organization in any way I can
