Recommended Sentence: (1) Incarceration: 15 to 21 months in Zone D (2) Fine: Between $154,000 and $540,000. Since there are two counts of conviction, the total fine would be the fine on each count added together, calculated as follows: (a) § 30118 count (corporate contribution). Based on an offense level of 14, the guideline range for a fine under this count is $7,500 to $75,000. U.S.S.G. § 5E1.2(c)(3). (b) § 30122 count (conduit contributions). By statute, the fine imposed under this count would be a minimum fine of $150,000 (300% of aggregate violative amount) and a maximum fine of $500,000 (1,000% of aggregate violative amount). 52 U.S.C. § 30109(d)(1)(D). Since these are higher fines than those permitted under U.S.S.G. § 5E1.2(c)(3), they prevail. Id. § 5E1.2(c)(4). (c) Total combined fine: (i) minimum: $7,500 + $150,000 = $162,500 (ii) maximum: $75,000 + $500,000 = $575,000 (c) Example 3: Corporate contributor to multiple candidates through threats and coercion Factual Scenario: The defendant is an individual who controls two corporations. The defendant gives $50,000 in corporate funds to fifty federal candidates in $1,000 amounts by laundering them through fifty corporate senior management personnel, and passes the cost of these 188
