Sonny is now a free man who has repaid his debts to society.
What about the ~$20m he scammed from his mail fraud victims that was never recovered? I doubt that's been repaid.
Here's why:
All fines are waived as it is found that the defendant does not have the ability to pay a fine.
Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3663A(c)(3), restitution is not ordered because (1) the number of identifiable victims is so large as to make restitution impracticable [3663A(c)(3)(A)]; and
(2) determining complex issues of fact related to the cause or amount of the victim's losses would complicate or prolong the sentencing process to a degree that the need to provide restitution to any victim is outweighed by the burden on the sentencing process [3663A(c)(3)(B)].
SPECIAL ASSESSMENT: It is further ordered defendant shall pay to the United States a special assessment fee of $100, which is due immediately to the Clerk of the Court.
