John Michael “pleaded guilty to a charge of conspiracy to commit money laundering and to subsequently lying to a federal grand jury” Gov dropped bribery and obstruction (apparently on obstruction it’s one of those things that Gov would rather do than do something about). May 5 sentencing date – free on bond. Probably no Greecian cruises like his uncle was able to fit in via his contacts with the boys back east(remember when that meant something less nefarious than Main Justice?)

His uncle, Kontogiannis, is recovering from open heart surgery and his sentencing is delayed. Wilkes is up for sentencing on Feb 19

Court papers indicate probation officials are recommending that Burns sentence him to 60 years in prison.
