Bernier s involvement in SnoOwl
Bernier’s testimony was critical to Assistant U.S. Attorneys Zachary Hafer’s and David Tobin’s case against Correia, who was convicted of 21 out of 24 counts of tax fraud, wire fraud and extortion.
A tax attorney who recently opened a new firm, Rampart Law Group, in the city, was Correia’s former business partner and chief operating officer in the app company SnoOwl.
The app company, founded by Correia after he left college, was the source of 14 of the counts against Correia, who was accused and convicted of bilking investors out of more than $231,000 of the $358,000 they sunk into the company. Instead of using the money to develop SnoOwl s technology, Correia funded his own “lavish lifestyle.”
