The Court finds from a consideration of the record that the defendant's economic circumstances allow for restitution payments pursuant to the following schedule: A partial payment of $200,000 shall be paid immediately. The balance shall be due during the period of imprisonment, at the rate of not less than $25 per quarter, and pursuant to the Bureau of Prisons' Inmate Financial Responsibility Program.

The defendant shall be held jointly and severally liable with co-participant Michael Huynh (Docket No. 14-00548) for the amount of restitution ordered in this judgment. The victims' recovery is limited to the amount of their loss and the defendant's liability for restitution ceases if and when the victims receive full restitution. Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3612(f)(3)(A), interest on the restitution ordered is waived because the defendant does not have the ability to pay interest. Payments may be subject to penalties for default and delinquency pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3612(g). The defendant shall comply with General Order No. 01-05. Pursuant to Guideline §5E1.2(a), all fines are waived as the Court finds that the defendant has established that he is unable to pay and is not likely to become able to pay any fine.

Upon release from imprisonment, the defendant shall be placed on supervised release for a term of three years under the following terms and conditions:

In the absence of such designation, the defendant shall report on or before the same date and time, to the United States Marshal located at the Roybal Federal Building, 255 East Temple Street, Los Angeles, California 90012. Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a), the Court shall impose a sentence sufficient, but not greater than necessary, to comply with the purposes set forth in paragraph (2) of this subsection. The Court, in determining the particular sentence to be imposed, shall consider --

To protect the public from further crimes of the defendant; and d. To provide the defendant with needed correctional treatment in the most effective manner.
3. The kinds of sentences available; 4. The guideline sentencing range; 5. The need to avoid unwarranted sentence disparities among defendants with similar records who have been
