A United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) investigation revealed that DANIEL GUTMAN and BENJAMIN GUTMAN, with the assistance of DR.

Summary: On August 31, 2020, respondent pleaded guilty to one count of Conspiracy to Defraud the United States. As a result, respondent was sentenced to 24 months’ probation, and ordered to pay a $50,000.00 fine and restitution of $38,057.00 to the USDA. The criminal conviction constitutes a basis upon which to debar you under 2 CFR §180.800(a)(4) because the offense indicates a lack of business integrity or business honesty that seriously and directly affects your present responsibility. The aggravating and mitigating factors under 2 CFR §180.860 were detailed in the Action Referral Memorandum, which was provided with the NPD. These factors included the potential harm from the wrongdoing, the duration of the wrongdoing, and the extent of planning related to the wrongdoing.
