2 used-car dealers face prison time for odometer-tampering

Print Two brothers had more success removing miles from the odometer than Ferris Bueller and Cameron Frye did in the 1986 film “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.” A New York judge last week ordered a used-car dealer to serve five years in prison and pay nearly $4 million in restitution for tampering with hundreds of vehicle odometers. His brother was sentenced to a year in prison. From 2006 to 2011, Shmuel Gali altered the mileage of an estimated 690 used vehicles he had purchased, then sold them at wholesale auctions in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, according to court documents. On average, odometers were rolled back by more than 69,000 miles.

Used Motor Vehicle Dealers Sentenced in Odometer Tampering Scheme

Used Motor Vehicle Dealers Sentenced in Odometer Tampering Scheme Details Written by IVN Brooklynn, New York - Monday, in federal court in Brooklyn, Shmuel Gali was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Kiyo A. Matsumoto to 60 months’ imprisonment for his role in a long-running odometer tampering and money laundering scheme and ordered to pay $3,936,000 in restitution. The defendant pleaded guilty in August 2020 to conspiracy to commit money laundering, conspiracy to commit odometer tampering, making false odometer statements and securities fraud. “An automobile is one of the biggest purchases many consumers make,” stated Acting Assistant Attorney General Brian M. Boynton of the Justice Department’s Civil Division. “Misrepresenting used car mileages defrauds buyers and hides important information concerning safety and reliability. The Department of Justice will continue to work with law enforcement partners to prosecute odometer fraud.”
