ADVICE OF PENALTIES AND SANCTIONS
TO THE DEFENDANT: YOU ARE ADVISED OF THE FOLLOWING PENALTIES AND SANCTIONS: Violating any of the foregoing conditions of release may result in the immediate issuance of a warrant for your arrest, a revocation of your release, an order of detention, a forfeiture of any bond, and a prosecution for contempt of court and could result in imprisonment, a fine, or both. While on release, if you commit a federal felony offense the punishment is an additional prison term of not more than ten years and for a federal misdemeanor offense the punishment is an additional prison term of not more than one year. This sentence will be consecutive (i.e., in addition to) to any other sentence you receive. It is a crime punishable by up to ten years in prison, and a $250,000 fine, or both, to: obstruct a criminal investigation; tamper with a witness, victim, or informant; retaliate or attempt to retaliate against a witness, victim, or informant; or intimidate or attempt to intimidate a witness, victim, juror, informant, or officer of the court. The penalties for tampering, retaliation, or intimidation are significantly more serious if they involve a killing or attempted killing. If, after release, you knowingly fail to appear as the conditions of release require, or to surrender to serve a sentence, you may be prosecuted for failing to appear or surrender and additional punishment may be imposed. If you are convicted of: (1) an offense punishable by death, life imprisonment, or imprisonment for a term of fifteen years or more ­ you will be fined not more than $250,000 or imprisoned for not more than 10 years, or both; (2) an offense punishable by imprisonment for a term of five years or more, but less than fifteen years ­ you will be fined not more than $250,000 or imprisoned for not more than five years, or both; (3) any other felony ­ you will be fined not more than $250,000 or imprisoned not more than two years, or both; (4) a misdemeanor ­ you will be fined not more than $100,000 or imprisoned not more than one year, or both. A term of imprisonment imposed for failure to appear or surrender will be consecutive to any other sentence you receive. In addition, a failure to appear or surrender may result in the forfeiture of any bond posted.
