Former Chief Financial Officer of Bankrate Inc. Sentenced to 10 Years in Prison for Orchestrating a Complex Accounting and Securities Fraud Scheme

Edward J. DiMaria, 53, of Fairfield County, Connecticut, was sentenced by Chief U.S. District Judge K. Michael Moore of the Southern District of Florida, who also imposed three years of supervised release and ordered DiMaria to pay restitution in the amount of $21,234,214. On June 28, DiMaria pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to making false statements to a public company’s accountants, falsifying a public company’s books, records and accounts, and securities fraud; and one count of making materially false statements to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

“While serving as Bankrate’s CFO, Edward DiMaria blatantly manipulated the company’s publicly reported financial statements by repeatedly lying and directing others to lie to auditors, regulators, and shareholders,” said Assistant Attorney General Benczkowski. “The significant sentence handed down today underscores the serious nature of corporate fraud and the damage it causes to shareholders and to the public’s trust in our financial markets. The sentence also demonstrates the Department’s commitment to prosecuting corporate misconduct to the fullest extent of the law.”

Someone is paying a lot of money to smear Jim Mattis and hold up Trump's agenda

"Starting late last month, news reports began to emerge that an unnamed entity, presumably one such contractor, had enlisted the help of a private investigative firm to create a dossier of allegations to try to smear the reputation of Mattis and other senior DoD officials all as a means of creating public pressure to disrupt the JEDI contracting process.

One of their tools, according to Defense One, is that “a private investigative firm has been shopping around to Washington reporters a 100-plus-page dossier” which claims that Mattis and his senior aides acted unethically in moving the JEDI contracting process forward. Defense One further reports that the firm which created and distributed the dossier, RossettiStarr, refuses to say who paid for its creation. Notably, Defense One reports “at least some of the dossier’s conclusions do not stand up to close scrutiny.”

Defense One called the dossier and efforts to use it to drive media coverage to pressure DoD to hold off on JEDI “an unusually hardball form of backroom maneuvering.” But supporters of Trump see this tactic as anything but unusual. The use of anonymously-funded dossiers filled with false allegations and distributed to reporters to try to generate negative media coverage has become almost common in efforts to thwart Trump."
