Georgia perpetrator sentencing for multi-state elderly romance scams. Spanish five-year headline versus UPI two-year source is retained unresolved rather than combined into one imposed sentence; source-specific identity/official record needed. Restitution obligation not funds actually paid to victims. Compensation order is a planned response, not payment. Cannot withhold entire assets code while reporting that order. Deeper actual body/DOJ distinguishes two-year prison plus three-year supervised release from erroneous five-year headline; current qualified correction still required. Current source-specific layer: Keep the frozen five-year headline and current two-year prison/three-year supervised distinction. Restitution obligation is not money returned; official-source details remain outside this original's body. Own existing 2016/2018 metadata month literals retained. Current qualification: Own five-year headline and24months prison/3supervised distinction preserved. Original agency restitution311520 ordered not paid; earlier2024 bond-motion denial is not2025 final sentencing judgment. Court order search text read, no clinical/private-background finding or new court event from publication.
