\nDid the Judge Make Any Compassionate Statements at Sentencing?<\/strong> Yes. He said he wished he could impose a less severe sentence.<\/h3>\n

In January 2013, Cooper was indicted for violations of Federal Marijuana Distribution and Money Laundering statutes in the Western District of North Carolina, Charlotte. Corvain has never been to Charlotte nor does he know anyone who lives there.  Regardless, due to the conspiracy law, each person is responsible for the crimes of everyone involved.<\/p>\n

Corvain had one prior, for the possession and transportation of one-half pound of marijuana. He received a two-year sentence for this offense and with good behavior he spent a little less than a year in a<\/p>\n

California state prison and was released July 22, 2012.<\/p>\n

After his release Corvain \u201cput that life behind me.\u201d He trademarked his own clothing line\u201d \u201cOld Money,\u201d got engaged to his girlfriend Susan Wilburn, and became an active member of the Faith Full Central Church of Inglewood, California.<\/p>\n

Corvain resumed work on his clothing line and enjoyed spending time with his children and family. Life was good until January 28, 2013. As he was preparing to go to his daughter\u2019s drill team competition, federal agents arrived and, in front of his children and neighbors, arrested Corvain and extradited him to Charlotte to face charges.<\/p>\n
