ALBANY, NEW YORK - Thomas Ruchlicki, age 63, of Clifton
Park, New York, was sentenced today to 1 year of probation for making a false
statement to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, announced United States
Attorney Grant C. Jaquith and James N. Hendricks, Special Agent in Charge of
the FBI Albany Field Office.
As part of his August 15, 2018 guilty plea, Ruchlicki
admitted that on January 3, 2018, when questioned by FBI Special Agents, he
falsely told the agents that his financial dealings with an owner/operator of a
property construction and development company involved the owner/operator’s
purchasing of an antique car from Ruchlicki.
In fact, Ruchlicki never sold a car, and never had any plans to sell the
owner/operator a car.
Senior United States District Judge Lawrence E. Kahn also
ordered Rucklicki to pay a $3,000 fine and perform 50 hours of community
service.
This case was investigated by the FBI and prosecuted by
Assistant U.S. Attorney Rick Belliss.
