PLEA DOCUMENTS POSTED

October 21, 2003

As part of his September 30 plea agreement for failing to withhold or remit federal employment taxes, Richard Simkanen was "required to post the filed plea documents on Arrow Custom Plastic's website within seven days of his guilty plea." As of this morning, there appear to be no plea documents at the business site, "arrowplastics.com."

The documents are on another site, arrowplastics.net, which we found by clicking on a link on Mr. Simkanen's weblog (the "about me" link on the right side of the page). The documents can be linked in the lower left corner of the page, tucked underneath a much larger plea for donations to cover legal costs and a handsome picture of Mr. Simkanen. Perhaps the government accepts the posting on the ".net" website, rather than the businesses ".com" site, as compliance with the plea agreement. A Google search lists both versions, with the ".com" first. Google also comes up with this page, which gives an idea of how Mr. Simkanen got in trouble in the first place.

Sentencing is scheduled for January 2, 2004.
