Up to 5 year,,,, would like to know how many they get.

The fines are pocket change compared to the amount they said was stolen.

Pffftt...5 years, big whup. Need the private sector to impose additional punishment. Really burns me, money comes really hard to many of us, I bust my ass 6-7 days a week to be in this hobby and some scumbag pulls this crap.

Just that group alone, stole 600 or so outboards ? Wow.

5yrs each outboard would be better.

Up to 5 yrs total is criminal itself.

Agreed five years seems light on. BUT, then you read that the person they shipped them to received five years for people smuggling it makes you think

I read the title and thought…..Holy cow, how do you steal a 600? They’re huge!

Ok, I got it now.

These people are filth, throw the book at them.

Prosecutors said they stole 600 motors but the indictment was for 20 motors, hence the light sentences: The goofy part is they valued the thefts at 9.5 to 25 million. 600 motors at 10mm is 16.6K each, at 25MM is $41.6 each. Seems like sloppy math/bad reporting there. These guys weren't out stealing Evinrude 2 strokes. The case was about false exporting/serial numbers not the actual thefts/burglary.

The indictment — built upon allegedly falsified records along with video surveillance footage — says that Nadia and Carlos Ledesma received at least 20 stolen outboard engines from Osmani Valdivia and others and illegally shipped them to Mexico
