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.”
BOSTON If I m doing something wrong, come and get me.
Jasiel Correia II issued that challenge in a documentary chronicling his rise to power as mayor of Fall River. And the federal government did just that.
A jury of Correia s peers, after four days of deliberations, found him guilty Friday of 21 of 24 federal counts of wire fraud, tax fraud, extortion and extortion conspiracy.
Correia rose to power in Fall River as a self-styled entrepreneur who could run city government like a business, selling voters overinflated claims of success. But in his business, he scammed investors out of hundreds of thousands of dollars, blowing nearly all of it on what prosecutors called a shameless luxury spending spree.
