Lev Parnas, an associate of Rudy Giuliani who was a figure in President Donald Trump's first impeachment investigation, was sentenced Wednesday to a year and eight months in prison for fraud and campaign finance crimes.Giuliani connect with Ukrainian figures as part of a campaign to dig up dirt on President Joe Biden's son, had sought leniency on the grounds that he'd helped the Congressional probe.
In March, Parnas pleaded guilty to conspiring to commit wire fraud, admitting that between 2012 and 2019 he conspired with another person to give investors false information about a Florida-based business, Fraud Guarantee. He said he doesn't blame Giuliani for his connection to a business that never seemed to get off the ground, but instead blames Parnas, saying Parnas"ran out of money and needed to keep his relationship with Giuliani alive." Gucciardo said that instead of working on the Fraud Guarantee business, Parnas"left to do marijuana work in Las Vegas."
"I want to apologize to all the victims that I hurt. These are all people who are my friends, all people who trusted me and I lied to them to further my personal agenda," Parnas said."I'd like to apologize to Mr. Gucciardo. Even though I never spent a dollar of his money. I lied to him and used our friendship. Charles, I am sorry," he said.
Collusion that didn’t exist but yet put him in jail.
