True Left

In 2008, DiBruno, along with his father and brother, pleaded guilty to a decade-long conspiracy in which the trio bilked almost $4 million from unwitting investors.

According to court documents at the time, the DiBrunos used an array of sham businesses — from a cholesterol-lowering milk product and a gold mine to a food supplement designed to cure world hunger — to scam elderly or infirmed victims out of their savings and retirement accounts.

DiBruno Jr. became one of the very few defendants in the Western District of North Carolina to receive compassionate release from prison due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The custody change was approved by the U.S. Bureau of Prisons, not the federal courts in Charlotte.

DiBruno Jr. began home confinement that May. Almost immediately, according to his indictment, he began breaking the law.

Between May 2020 and June 2021, he submitted at least five fraudulent loan applications to two financial institutions seeking more than $120,000, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Charlotte claims.

On his loan paperwork, according to his indictment, DiBruno relied on a familiar technique: He lied about his job history, his income and where he’d been living for the past four years.

He now faces five counts of making false statements to a credit union. Each charge carries up to 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine. If he’s convicted, it’s a safe bet that DiBruno won’t be spending his next sentence at home.
