Aaron Morris, of Los Gatos, was given 27 months in federal prison, more than prosecutors asked for in a sentencing memo.
SAN FRANCISCO — A Bay Area man who used fake information and other tricks to get hired by six different companies he wasn’t qualified to work for has been sentenced to 27 months in federal prison, records show.
The sentence is three months more than even prosecutors asked for, but in an 11-page sentencing memo they detailed numerous schemes Morris was behind. Among them: presenting himself as an attorney, creating a fake email address to impersonate a Columbia Business School administrator and “confirm” Morris’ attendance, and running an investment scheme to get his wife’s family to put up $85,000 to raise money for a start up company he had also defrauded.
In a rebuttal sentencing brief, Morris’ attorney, David Callaway, chided prosecutors for bringing up alleged crimes they hadn’t charged, and argued Donato shouldn’t consider anything other than what Morris had admitted to in the plea agreement.
