You want to be able to like help and there's not anything that can be done anymore.

I don't remember the specifics of this part of the timeline, but sometime that winter, they end up charging him and they do kind of like a virtual hearing, which I was able to go to, and then he did end up pleading guilty. So then at that point, they scheduled a sentencing hearing, but...

It actually wasn't scheduled for months until the summer of 2021, which is actually really fast for this whole thing for him to have turned himself in to a sentencing hearing in less than a year is pretty fast. But for me, it's also a long time because that whole time between when he had pled guilty and what his sentencing hearing in that summer, he was out and about.

And it was weird because his wife might post things online. It's like, here they are in front of their big house. Here they are in their nice cars. Here they are living life, acting like normal. This was a good lesson for me that social media is so fake because it's like, this has got to be the worst time in these people's life. He had a sentencing date.

I had to decide if I was going to give any kind of victim impact statement. But I just didn't feel like writing a victim impact statement, mostly because I just didn't want to give him any more energy. There was so much energy that I'd gone towards this. If I was the only victim, I probably would have written an impact statement. But I knew that there were a bunch of us.

He had stolen over $2 million from a bunch of different clients. And so I knew that there would be plenty of other people reading their statements. And the purpose of the statement is to be cathartic for people or it could be an opportunity for him to have to sit here and hear the impact of his crime, but also to guide the judge in their sentencing process.

And so I felt like that I wasn't going to get any kind of like catharsis out of that because I just didn't want to give him more energy. And I felt like the judge would have the information that they would need from how I had already participated in the investigation and everyone else's statement. So I got there.

It was so surreal to like kind of like see the other people and then also to see him for the first time since the last time I had seen him would have been when I thought everything was fine. Like one of our last meetings in the fall before. It was just interesting because the victims were all different types of people. I feel lucky that this happened when I was young.
