Justin Paperny: Hi everyone. I'm Justin Paperny with White Collar Advice, and I'm pleased to welcome my friend and colleague Michael Szafranksi to the program. Hey bud. Michael S.: Hey Justin. Justin Paperny: Let's jump right in with your experience through Miami Federal Prison Camp. You wrote a guest blog on the White Collar Advice site. I'm going to put up a link to the blog, but in that blog, you said, "Miami is different than a lot of another federal prison camps." Miami Federal Prison What did you mean? Michael S.: Well, Miami itself just outside of the world of prison sort of operates on its own set of rules. It's certainly South America within the United States. On top of that, when you get to the prison itself, you're a population that is less white collar than many of the other prison camps plus the fact that it's attached to a low security prison means a lot of inmates transition relatively early on from the low to the camp, so you have a population that's different, and as a result of that, you have different stringencies imposed on the inmates by staff. Justin Paperny: Okay, so we'll get into those stringencies in a minute. Let's first talk about how you got to the federal prison camp in Miami. The majority of my clients, our clients, self surrender to prison, but on occasion, they're remanded to custody in part because of the case or the judge. Tell us how you actually got to the federal prison camp.

Justin Paperny Dating After Federal Prison To be or not be' is the opening line in Shakespeare's Hamlet. We are not talking of Hamlet today, though I will steal from that and say to tell or not tell, as it related to dating after federal prison. I am going to share my experience and some of the experiences of my clients. So, let's get started. Dating After Federal Prison It's Justin Paperny at White Collar Advice and today we're going to talk about dating after prison. Now, I've been told by a number of really great clients my experience was easier, because I went to federal prison and I did not have children. And there's a lot of truth in that. I was 33 when I went to prison. I was single. So there is some truth to that. Incarceration is harder on your family and your loved ones and even though you're the one serving time it is harder on those that love and support you, namely your wife, your children, your husband.

I want to talk to you about a recent article I just read about a financial advisor stealing their client's money. I want to make sure that you can avoid those same problems. We already know about Bernie Madoff and the issues that he's caused through all the ponzi schemes but they still exist today and you really do have to watch out for yourself. There's a recent article talking about a gentleman in Minnesota that stole about a million dollars from his clients over the last two years which is a lot of money. One of the things that he did is he basically took the money, put it into his own checking account, and he used it. Well even one scenario, he took $100,000 from a client, turned it around and went and bought a Maserati. This is a really, really nice car. How To Avoid Financial Fraud I want to make sure you can protect yourself from those same potential problems. There's some things you can do to make sure you will avoid those issues. The first thing to do is do a broker check or make sure they are a registered investment advisor or an investment advisor that is registered with the securities exchange commission. What you can do is you can go to brokercheck.com. At brokercheck.com you can enter in the person's name or even their firm to make sure they are registered. Another good site to go to is investor.gov. It does basically the same thing that brokercheck does and even while you're there, you can see what type of report will come up as far as if they have any blemishes, if they have any problems in the past, are they an advisor that has a lot of disputes. Right there will give you a lot of information but also some red flags. If they are not registered as an investment advisor though the securities exchange commission, they're not allowed to do any trading of stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange rate funds and really they're not allowed to give you much financial advice.

I want to do this video, in part, because I received a call this morning from a defendant in North Carolina, actually not far from Wake Forest University, where I've done some speaking in the past. This defendant called after watching a video I filmed last year called 10 Ways to Get More Time in Prison and in that video I talked about if you don't accept responsibility, or disclose your substance abuse, or if you continue to spend really aggressively, if you owe restitution, if you don't engage in volunteer work, if you don't work openly with your lawyer, so I identified 10 things that I think could lead to a longer term in prison.
