Competing sentencing positions have been submitted for Shane Hvizdzak, with completely opposite views of how long he should serve in prison following his guilty plea in a $31 million cryptocurrency fraud case.
Hvizdzak’s attorneys objected to multiple sentence enhancements included in the pre-sentence investigation report, arguing they unnecessarily inflate his guideline range.
The filing from Shane’s lawyers asserts Hvizdzak qualifies for a reduction as a zero-point offender, stating his advisory guideline range should be roughly four to five years in federal prison.
Prosecutors urged the court to place Hvizdzak’s offense level at 38, which has a recommended sentencing range between 20 to 24 years imprisonment.
The federal government is also seeking full restitution to his victims.
U.S. District Judge W. Scott Hardy already granted continuances pushing the sentencing to April.
Sean Hvizdzak is scheduled to be sentenced April 8 and Shane on April 9.
