Rhode Island Attorney General Peter Kilmartin – along with the Attorneys General of the other 49 States and the District of Columbia, the Federal Trade Commission, and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) - reached settlements with T-Mobile USA, Inc., that includes at least $90 million in payments and that resolve allegations that T-Mobile placed charges for third-party services on consumers’ mobile telephone bills that were not authorized by the consumer, a practice known as “mobile cramming.”

Nearly two months later, I am still broken up about Cranston Mayor Allan Fung’s loss. He was not a bad candidate (although the Blockhead commercial was a bad move). In comparison, Raimondo was no better, since she ran against her reform record, could not court strong union support, and sports an elitist streak no matter how many ‘Gansetts she has sold or drinks. Besides, she won only a plurality of the votes. Following a run-off, Fung would have run her off without trouble. Anthony Delfarno, 52, of East Greenwich, R.I., was arraigned in U.S. District Court in Providence today on a 66-count federal indictment which alleges that Delfarno used personal identifying information of his minor and adult children, his former spouse and a girlfriend, along with information from more than a dozen corporations that he created, to file fraudulent tax returns seeking more than $3.5 million dollars in tax refunds.
According to the indictment returned on Wednesday and unsealed today, it is alleged that between April 2009 and September 2013, Delfarno repeatedly made false representations on personal and business tax documents he filed with the IRS seeking $3,557,653 in tax refunds, when in fact the true holdings by the IRS totaled $15,544.02. |
