The government originally requested 75 months, and the federal guidelines indicate a minimum sentence of 87 months. Polese\u2019s attorney argued for a shorter sentence of 40 months.<\/p>\n<p>Polese was ordered to pay $462,000 in restitution plus a $30,000 fine. After his release from prison, he will be supervised for three years. He will be restricted from working in financial services, and prohibited from drinking alcohol beyond a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.10. The judge recognized Polese\u2019s work towards rehabilitation, which included speaking with two ministers who offered letters of support.<\/p>\n<div class=\"read_more_link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.silverlaw.com\/blog\/five-year-sentence-for-former-morgan-stanley-broker-james-polese\/\"  title=\"Continue Reading Five Year Sentence For Former Morgan Stanley Broker James Polese\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading \u203a<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In September, we told you about Morgan Stanley brokers James Polese and 29-year-old Cornelius Peterson, who were found guilty of financial charges ranging from conspiracy to aggravated identity theft.
