The purpose of this board is to track the status of activity, cases, and ultimately the incarceration or fines against TP promoters and certain high-profile TPs.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons now shows Simkanin as having been released on June 18, 2010 (Friday), which was one day early.

Victory!

Dick Simkanin

Post by Demosthenes »

After seven long, miserable years in a federal prison, Dick Simkanin was finally released on June 18, 2010.

Less than a week later, and he's back in for violating the terms of his release.

I wonder what he did (or didn't do) to get himself back in the Pokey. And what took him so long? I mean, he was out for five days!

According to his P.O., he failed to report. Moreover, when reached by telephone, he said he wouldn't be reporting because "you and I both know it's voluntary" - y'know, like paying taxes and withholding from your employees.

What a maroon.

7 years in the slammer.

Still in his own little world where his special magic words don't work.

"I release you from any responsibility for supervising me" might work on planet Van Pelt but doesn't cut much ice with the US Probation Office or any federal judge.

Nor is he a good fugitive. Took one whole day to catch him.

Looks like he is held in the jail of Parker County, Texas; that would be in Weatherford, Texas, I presume. That would be just west of Fort Worth.

That's pretty good. Maybe Pete Hendrickson and other wackadoosters should adapt that approach: "I release you, the Federal Bureau of Prisons, for responsibility for incarcerating me for two years and nine months following my felony tax convictions." Or, "I release you, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, from responsibility for ordering me to be incarcerated for civil contempt for failure to obey your orders."

Judge McBryde is not amused by much. He is the federal judge that those who practice in the Northern District of Texas hope not to get if their client is not the government. He's also the judge who years ago barred women lawyers from wearing pants in his court. I don't think that lasted too long though. I've not been in his court but the grapevine is strong.

Apparently, Judge McBryde was not amused......
....the court has determined that the term of supervised release imposed on defendant should be revoked and that defendant should be sentenced to terms of imprisonment of three (3) months as to each of 3-27 counts and one (1) month as to each of counts 28-31, all to run consecutively, for an aggregate term of imprisonment of seventy-nine (79) months, and to serve terms of supervised release......

Simkanin's original sentence is 60 months. He is out for a few days, and gets violated, not for a new crime, but for failure to report. He then gets hit on the violation for seventy-nine months.

That's a mega-whack. Yes, Simkanin is a class-A idiot, but that's a lot of time. Remember what I said in another context about judges not appreciating having their orders ignored?
