Michael Grimm, the former Republican congressman from Staten Island, was sentenced to eight months in federal prison Friday.
Last December Grimm pleaded guilty to tax fraud for failing to report more than $1 million in wages and receipts for a Manhattan restaurant he owned called Healthalicious. Grimm invested in the restaurant after retiring from the FBI in 2006.

Michael Grimm, a former New York congressman and FBI agent who once investigated white-collar crime, was sentenced Friday to 8 months in prison for tax evasion by a judge who said his "moral compass" needed adjustment.
Grimm, 45, pleaded guilty late last year to aiding in filing a false tax return — a charge that stemmed from an investigation into the Staten Island Republican's campaign financing.
U.S. District Judge Pamela Chen said the crime included exploiting immigrant laborers, including some who were paid as little as $4.60 an hour.

Michael Grimm, the former Republican congressman from Staten Island who memorably threatened to throw a reporter off a Capitol balcony, was sentenced Friday to eight months in federal prison for evading taxes on his health food restaurant, "Healthalicious".
The former Staten Island Republican was charged in April 2014, but stalwartly refused to resign his seat for months, until last winter. Grimm announced last December that he would resign, shortly after pleading guilty to tax evasion charges.
As this all was happening, I posted a thread about the 20 point indictment on him:

Also about the fact that the FBI kicked him, a former FBI agent, out of their offices:

Have fun in prison, Mr. Grimm.
