PA Cyber Charter School CEO is going to jail (finally):

PITTSBURGH -- Nick Trombetta, Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School founder and former chief executive officer, pleaded guilty Wednesday to tax conspiracy, one of the 11 federal charges leveled against him.

Trombetta faces up to five years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000, or both, and will be sentenced Dec. 20 by U.S. District Judge Joy Flowers Conti, according to a press release from United States Attorney David J. Hickton’s office.

Trombetta’s case has been ongoing for the last three years. Although he was initially indicted in 2013, two key rulings, based on hearings conducted in 2014, were made in 2015. Trombetta tried to have evidence dismissed in 2014, when he claimed that FBI recordings violated his attorney-client privilege.
