The sentencing hearing for Robert Buckhannon, who plead guilty May 30, 2019 to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, has been rescheduled.
Originally set for November 6, 2019, and moved to November 12, 2019, the hearing has been moved to February 13, 2020.
The plea deal stems from a criminal indictment filed August 8, 2018 against Buckhannon and co-defendant, former fiancé Kelly DeMoss.
As detailed in his plea agreement, Buckhannon admitted his role in a scheme to defraud Blackburne & Sons Realty Capital Corporation, perpetrated with DeMoss.
But, if Buckhannon's history in a $34 million hedge fund fraud case filed in October 2014 is any predictor (he dodged a criminal trial in that case for nearly four years, ultimately pleading guilty in 2018 to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud resulting in a three-year probation term), that sentencing will likely be moved again and again.
Federal court records do not indicate a reason for the delay, but one wonders if it might have been moved to allow for an investigation of some seamy scam run by Buckhannon and his wife, Olga, out of a shabby little office in Las Vegas?
Just sayin'.
