AG owned an auto parts supply store and was charged with participating in a fraudulent kick-back scheme which involved the intangible right to honest services, where AG paid kick-backs to Village of Bolingbrook officials in exchange for city business. AG was facing an advisory sentence of 46-57 months imprisonment. Mr. Meczyk and Mr. Goldberg vigorously argued for a departure under the advisory sentencing guidelines, and the federal judge agreed. AG was sentenced to only 17 months.
