“It is hard to comprehend the emotional and financial harm that Mr. Bischoff inflicted on the victims of his criminal conduct,” said U.S. Attorney Murray. “It is my sincere hope that the prosecution of this case will deter other people from engaging in similar conduct. Those who commit financial crimes should understand that we will aggressively prosecute them and will not hesitate to recommend substantial prison sentences.”
Bischoff is “ashamed that after decades of being a law-abiding and productive member of his community he misused his talents and betrayed people whose trust he had earned,” Lange said. “He is committed to doing whatever he can to put things right.”
