TIME SERVED IN MONEY LAUNDERING CASE
In July of 2021, in federal court in the Eastern District of New York, Mr. Caliendo represented a person at sentencing who had previously admitted to laundering over $3,000,000 in drug proceeds. In that particular case, the advisory federal sentencing guidelines called for years in jail. But instead, the judge ordered a sentence of time served. Mr. Caliendo achieved this result by working tirelessly to highlight the personal story of the accused. In doing so, the judge could learn about who they really were, instead of seeing them as just another name on an indictment. In that case, success was inextricably linked to showing that there was more to this person than what the government accused them of.
