Colorado, 5 years of imprisonment (to run concurrently with the
previous sentence) and a $20,000 fine for the charge in New York,
and 5 years of probation (to run consecutively to the 7 years of
imprisonment) for the charge in New Jersey. The Government’s
sentencing memorandum in Steele’s criminal proceedings stated
that Steele’s “failing to report his Marcos income * * * [and the
issues relating to] the partnerships of Steele formed to market
cattle embryos were better left to the IRS civil audit.”
d. Hawaii Investigation
In addition to the above, the Department of Justice
organized a task force in or about 1986 to investigate the
activities in the U.S. of Marcos and his associates. The
Department of Justice delegated the responsibility for this
investigation to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Hawaii.
This investigation was later reflected in the charges that were
filed in New Jersey.
e. Steele’s Proffer
During his criminal proceedings, Steele was represented by
counsel and proffered himself to the U.S. Attorneys for New
Jersey and Hawaii as a witness against Marcos and the other
individuals involved in the planned coup. The U.S. Attorneys
declined those proffers. Steele did not proffer himself as a
witness to respondent in any action relating to the audit or
operation of Leatherstocking.
