Justice will be served on this former Postal employee.

Some of you may remember that I had reported early last year about having been a victim of this S.O.B. Looks like he'll have 10 years to think about whether or not the money he made from selling the stolen goods, (none of which were ever recovered) was worth the time. Dale Richmond has pleaded guilty in Federal Court in Rochester, N.Y. on Monday to multiple charges, and will face sentencing of up to 10 years in prison. Wall Street Journal article
I'm still looking for the items that were stolen while enroute to me. Two unique 19th century U.S. Mint medals, which will always be stolen property until recovered. Fellow dealers Ron & Melody Winter were victimized for tens of thousands worth of coins during the period in or around November 2010 - January 2011.

I agree with Coindeuce, I hope he has a long time in the slammer to think.

is it justice when the stolen goods remain at large?
the system taxes us for putting this guy through the "justice system" and instead of him continuing to get paid by the federal government for doing actual work as a mail employee, he gets free shelter and food for doing nothing but rotting in a cell for 10 years....and what do those who've lost get in return? where is their justice? the items are presumably gone...who benefited? the holders of the stolen goods, and the system in this case. the rest of us pay for it.

That would be nice.

PayPal shipping allows you to hide the postage cost. It seems the USPS website doesn't, though.

Ding!
Correct answer. He'll likely be given an opportunity at restitution to the USPS for the amount of insurance they paid out in exchange for a very light sentence.
As far as any cooperation in anyone getting their items back...
Note that the thief was not a mail carrier, but an electronics tech who had access to the mail. Registered mail should not have been accessible to just any employee working in the facility.

The defendant was totally uncooperative with Postal Inspectors. Not much chance he will be able to afford the level of restitution required to offset insurance payments either. I expect he will serve at least 5 years. Understand, the OIG would not have pursued a criminal prosecution at this level for someone stealing chump change.

Please keep us updated as to his final sentence.
If he had told authorities where the stolen coins went to that at least some of them might be retrieved I would be a little more lenient. Make my day, tell me he got the full 10 years. I mean c'mon he was stealing not just from customers but from the US Mail.
I didn't read the link but your thread reminded me of an experience that seemed like yesterday.
