The indictment indicated that the “Guidices lied to the bankruptcy court, to the IRS and to a number of banks,” U.S. Attorney Fishman said.

That’s reality.” “The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Office of Inspector General is pleased to join the United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey and our law enforcement colleagues in announcing [the] indictment…,” Special Agent in Charge A.
