He did not do this once. He did it on dozens of occasions, and he did so for the greater part of a year.
According to the government’s sentencing memorandum, Neff destroyed his cell phone and encouraged others to do so as well. He also allegedly tried to convince witnesses not to participate in a federal investigation and tried to coach witnesses before they testified in front of a grand jury.
