U.S. District Judge Dee Benson was unmoved by a crestfallen apology from a Salt Lake County businessman on Thursday.
"I think deceit is one of his most apparent characteristics. I'm not even sure about the speech he gave me today," Benson said of the apology before sentencing 40-year-old Adam Michael Webber on one count of dealing firearms without a license and five counts of tax fraud.
"I appreciate the effort," the judge said, "but I don't believe a lot of it."
Sentenced to 4 years in prison and $100,000 fine
