United States Attorney Mary Beth Buchanan announced today, March 8, 2007, that Edward Semulka, a resident of Canonsburg, Washington County, Pennsylvania, has been sentenced in federal court in Pittsburgh to two years of imprisonment followed by three years of supervised release, and ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $4,933.75 on his conviction of wire fraud.
Senior United States District Judge Alan N. Bloch imposed the sentence on Semulka, age 41.
According to information presented to the court by Assistant United States Attorney Dennis P. Kissane, Semulka, from on or about August 14, 2001, to on or about January 22, 2002, engaged in a wire fraud scheme using the internet auction services known as eBay Auctions. Semulka offered various high-priced items for sale on those services, including RCA DSS satellite dish receivers, but, after receiving payment from would-be buyers, failed to deliver the merchandise.
