The case concerns district money and financial controls over several years.

The evidence

The Justice Department's official API release identifies this district, the May 7 guilty plea, the sentence and the restitution amount. August board minutes separately cite a $291,690 restitution payment; the two amounts are not reconciled in these sources.
