Identify the figure and its assumptions
Record the source of any proposed amount, asset units, valuation date, relevant period and included transactions. Keep versions and disputes visible. Counsel determines applicable loss and restitution rules; qualified experts may be needed for valuation and tracing. A public headline is not a substitute for the actual calculation.
Separate enterprise scale from personal activity
Build a dated account of your actual role, authority and knowledge. Preserve changes over time and identify supporting records. Do not assume that personal gain automatically determines every legal amount, or that a company-wide total explains every individual. Counsel evaluates those questions under the applicable law.
Prepare documented personal material
Organize verified history, treatment, employment, character support and corrective work where relevant and appropriate to the stage. Distinguish completed work from plans. Technical complexity should not displace the broader record of the person, but that record must remain consistent with established facts and counsel’s review.
Use a disciplined review schedule
Work backward from confirmed interview and hearing dates. Assign responsibility for financial sources, technical questions, personal-history verification and practical arrangements. SAG can coordinate the agreed preparation deliverables while counsel controls legal arguments and submissions. Neither a large file nor a publication credential guarantees a particular sentence.

Is personal profit automatically the sentencing-loss figure?
Do not assume that. Counsel must evaluate the governing standards and the individual factual record separately from the amount personally received.
Sources and a defined preparation assignment
Official context: U.S. Sentencing Commission: 2026 Guidelines Manual. Sources checked November 6, 2026. Tax recordkeeping guidance does not determine criminal liability or sentencing loss. Counsel evaluates the applicable law, dates and individual facts.
Work directly with Joseph to define the scope, authorized recipients and review dates. Agreed deliverables can include a personal and professional chronology, indexed supporting records, factual questions for counsel and a practical preparation schedule. SAG does not manage legal responses or provide forensic tracing or valuation opinions. An engagement does not automatically establish privilege.
SAG serves clients nationwide from New Jersey, with travel arranged for cases. SAG is not a law firm. No charging decision, sentence, placement or release date is guaranteed.
