From the O'Keefe/New York Daily News article:
"Mastro’s attorney, Michael Monico, had asked U.S. District Judge Ronald A. Guzman in court papers filed earlier this month to give Mastro probation, describing the founder of Mastro Auctions as a deeply religious Catholic who has devoted his life to work with alcoholics, the homeless and the needy.
But Guzman, citing a memorandum filed by prosecutors last week, said he was troubled by the fact that Mastro had destroyed bidding records after learning that the FBI had launched an investigation into fraud in the sports memorabilia hobby in 2006.
Assistant U.S. Attorneys Steven J. Dollear and Derek Owens said good works by Mastro, charged with mail fraud in a 2012 indictment, did not give him a “get-out-of-jail card.”
My opinion of Mastro, Allen and Theotikos?
