Alexander Soofer has agreed to plead guilty to one count of wire fraud and one count of money laundering, admitting his role in the bribery scheme with Malone. Malone faces a 21-count federal indictment with potential sentences of up to 20 years per wire fraud count, 10 years per bribery count, and five years on a conspiracy charge.
“We're working our way up the chain. We're getting to those who are enabling the fraud, and not just the fraudsters themselves.”
