Timothy McCabe, a one-time fugitive real estate attorney who stole $6 million from 73 clients, asked a federal judge to limit his prison sentence to 35 months.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Ellen Cohen told the court McCabe’s crimes and conduct do not merit a downward departure and he should get 10 to 12.6 years.
McCabe was sentenced Wednesday to five years by U.S. District Judge Kenneth Ryskamp in West Palm Beach. He pleaded guilty Oct. 10 to five counts for stealing from his former Lake Worth firm’s trust accounts.
