12/4 UPDATE: WATCH THIS VIDEO TO LEARN WHAT HAPPENED AT MS. GARCIAS SENTENCING
The MJ Capital saga is winding its way through the court system with the latest updates from Johanna Garcia's case in late June being a Notice of Change of Plea hearing scheduled for July 9th. Since an update on April 29th revealed Garcia was trying to reach a resolution with the government, it stands to reason that they may have come to some agreement that she will plead guilty as one of the other parties involved already has.
If you aren’t familiar with the case, Johanna Garcia, Pavel Ramon Ruiz Hernandez, and others are accused of misleading investors in merchant cash advances in what the prosecution says amounted to a Ponzi scheme. Ruiz Hernandez pleaded guilty to conspiring to commit wire fraud and then was sentenced to 110 months in prison. Garcia is looking at least that amount since she was the ring leader.
Here are the updates from the website of the Receiver in the case:
