The document outlines Reynolds' travel to Africa from 2009-2012 to search for business opportunities on behalf of businessmen Wilson and Higginbottom. It also discusses his acknowledgement that the money received for this work should have been reported as income.

Reynolds traveled approximately 400,000 miles round trip to Southern Africa, with Zimbabwe as the base of operations. He was searching for business opportunities in countries like Zimbabwe for Wilson and Higginbottom.

The money was broken down as follows - $293,500 from Higginbottom in checks to Reynolds personally, $25,000 from Higginbottom to Mel Reynolds Consulting, and $52,000 from Wilson to Mel Reynolds Consulting. Reynolds discusses how the money was spent in the tax loss section.

Defendant's Sentencing Memorandum

Now comes Pro-Se Defendant Melvin Reynolds, respectfully, to apologize to this


Honorable Court for wasting the courts time. Defendant further understands why the
Court has expressed its frustration with Defendant for acting as his Pro-se counsel.

ndant would not have allowed


his anger resulting from his ordeal to cloud his judgment and therefore would have
pleaded guilty to one court of the charges that Defendant was offered several time by the

prosecution.

Pro-Se Defendant request this Honorable Court to sentence Defendant to 1 year


probation with the option of being allowed to move away from Chicago during that
Case: 1:15-cr-00389 Document #: 257 Filed: 05/08/18 Page 2 of 67 PageID #:1351

probation year so Defendant, if necessary will be able to get his children to a secure
place. Such a sentence would also be sufficient to comply with the purposes set forth in
l8 U.S.C. $ 3553(a), especially due to the fact that the Defendant has already served 2
months in detention during this case, 4 months on Home confinement with an ankle
brace and a curfew and been on restricted movement in the Northern District of Iltinois

for 3 years . There has also not been personal financial loss to a victim or tax a loss to
the Government. The govemment maintains that it cannot specifically identiSr an

accurate amount of tax loss.

Factual Background

From October 2009 until about June 2012 Defendant traveled approximately
400,000 miles round trip to Southern Africa. Zimbabwe was the base of operation. As
the prosecutions knows and has stated Defendant was searching for business

opportunities for businessmen Willie Wilson (Wilson) andBlzie Higginbottom


(Higginbottom) Defendant received a total of $370,500 that was directly related to this
business work. (Although $370,000 was not the total amount involved in this case, this

amount from Wilson and Higginbottom made up more thang2o/o of that total monies in
this case and was therefore the main thrust of the Government's case.)

Defendant's travel to Africa during this time was business related. Defendant had

no reason or the funds to travel to Africa for vacation. Although one of Defendant's

daughters became a student in Africa, she did not start as a student until the spring of
2012. Just months after her arrival in African Defendant was no longer in a Business
relationship with Wilson, which ended inApril 2010 or Higginbottom, which ended in
mid-2012.

These business expenses were broken down in the following manner. Defendant

received $2931500 from Higginbottom issued in hand wriffen checks to "Mel Reynolds"
personally, $25, 000 from Higginbottom in a wire transfer for "Mel Reynolds

Consulting", and $52,000 from Wilson issued to "Congressman Mel Reynolds


Case: 1:15-cr-00389 Document #: 257 Filed: 05/08/18 Page 3 of 67 PageID #:1352

Consulting." Therefore a total of $293, 500 was issued to Defendant as "Mel


Reynolds" personally from Higginbottom. And a total of $77,000 was issued to Mel
Reynolds Consulting from Higginbottom and Wilson combined.

Defendant now fully realizes that despite any written or verbal agreement with
Higginbottom or Wilson, and not receiving any 1099's for any of the money issued by
Higginbottom, all of the monies accepted by Defendant should have been viewed my
Defendant as income. Therefore Defendant should have filed income tax returns during
this time for the years in which the money was issued. Defendant discusses how the
money was used in the Tax Loss section of his memorandum.

Guideline Calculation - Tax Loss

There was no Tax loss determined by the prosecution in this case because there

was none or it was negligible. On page 7, of the government's sentencing memorandum

the government states... "The government is unable to make an accurate determination

of defendant's Tax loss." In the the Government's Version of the Offense the
government also states, inter alia, " First, the defendant's bank records reflect debt card

charges for flights to Africa, hotels in /Aftica and cash withdrawals in Africa." They

further state.. "Because of the lack of reliable information or records of both the income
and expenses it is difficult to determine an acfual loss."

After stating "The government is unable to make an accurate determination of


Defendant's Tax loss" the Government resorts to using 20oh as a base to calculation and
creates an arbrtrary federal tax loss figure of $80,011 on a total income for Defendant

established at trial for 4 years, 2009 to 2012, of $400,055. Defendant does not know but
is the Government allowed to just make up a Tax Loss and then use that number to add

to a Defendant's sentencing guideline calculation? What if the total income established


at trial was $2,000,000, would that mean that Defendant would be sentenced with2}Yo
of that "income"'which would be $400,000 in "Tax Loss" or if the income was
$5,000,000, would that mean that the Tax Loss", using the Government's calculation of
Case: 1:15-cr-00389 Document #: 257 Filed: 05/08/18 Page 4 of 67 PageID #:1353

2}ohbase a $1,000,000 "Tax Loss". This would mean a much higher guide calculation
for the sentence. Defendant, does know for sure what the law is or what the rules are,
but it seems that the 20%obase number should be applied an "net" income after the
Government has taken the time to establish what that number is.

The Government's Motion in Limine in20l6 [60] stated, inter alia, "the
govemment will not present any evidence that defendant owed taxes" at trial. The
Govemment did not in fact present any evidences attrial that Defendant owed taxes. The
Government at trial pointed to expenses that they identified to help make their case of
willfulness using Defendant's bank records. The Government has had Defendant's bank
records for more than 4 years. The question is way did the Government not determine

the actual tax loss during that time or at least an estimation? Another question is why

did the Govemment not subpoena Defendant for any receipts or for any other records
that related to business expenditures relating to Higginboffom and Wilson if they wanted
to figure out an actual tax loss? The Government did in fact subpoena Defendant for
another document.

Defendant believes that the Government did not want to determine actual tax loss
because after seeing Defendant's bank records the Government realized that if there was
any loss at all it would be minimal. And although the Government does not have to

prove tax loss to bring a Failure to File case, internally at the U.S Attorney's Office it
may have been decided by higher ups, as Mr. Jonas refers to, that it was not be good
judgment during this time of austerity to bring such a case of low value. However, the
obvious obsession and personal animosity by the prosecutor in this case towards
Defendant, a Former Congressman and Rhodes scholar, as the prosecutor never misses a
chance to point out, far outweighed any rational decision making in bringing this case.

As this Honorable Court knows it is the Court's final determination of a actual tax
loss if any. Although Defendant has not been able to acquire all the airline receipts,

Defendant is submitting the receipts he has been able to acquire, including confirmation
Case: 1:15-cr-00389 Document #: 257 Filed: 05/08/18 Page 5 of 67 PageID #:1354

of Hotel cost, former staff personal inAfrica cost and affidavits pertaining to offrce
rental cost in Zimbabwe. As Defendant has pointed out, Defendant traveled over
400,000 miles round trip fromAmerica to Africa on business for Higginbottom and
Wilson. The round trip airfare, the hotel expenses in Africa and paying for staff in Africa
came to hundreds or thousands of dollars. These staffmembers who met and worked

with Wilson and Higginbottom on at least five combined trips to Africa have submitted
sword affrdavits that they were in fact paid by Defendant for their work in Africa (see
attachment 3 group receipts.)

Guideline Calculations - Sentencing

Defendant has not been able to get help with the Guideline calculations.
Defendant therefore will do his best regarding the sentencing part of this Sentencing
Memorandum. Defendant respectfully objects to the 10 month recorlmended sentence,
which would be 83% of concurrent sentence, by that Probation recommends. Defendant
also disagrees with the 2I-27 sentence recommendation by the prosecution. Defendant

also points out that probation and prosecutors are looking at the same facts of
Defendant's case and the prosecution is recommending virtually 3 times of what
probation is recommending for the same convictions on a probational offense.

Defendant also points out that probation states that their recorlmendation is based
in part on the aggravating circumstances present in this case. However, the aggravating
circumstances, as defendant has shown in Defendant's response are factually inaccurate

and therefore should not have been considered as such. The Probation officer also states

that punitive action should be taken to send a message to Defendant Reynolds "that he is

not above the law." (please see paragraphs 6 and 7 on p. 1,2 and 3, of Defendant's
Objections to PSI Sentencing Recommendation)

The prosecution in their sentencing memorandum spends a great deal of time

creating a false narrative of Defendant and dismissing Defendant's life as nothing more
than a waste of time and a life of crime. Statements like this are illustrative
Case: 1:15-cr-00389 Document #: 257 Filed: 05/08/18 Page 6 of 67 PageID #:1355

"[Defendant's] decades-long pattern of showing complete disrespect for the law, the
courts, and the criminal justice system." And that Defendant needs to be shown that he is

not "above the law". The prosecutions personal anonymity also took on a very harsh
tone in the prosecution's publicly filed Sentencing Memorandum. In doing so the

prosecution succeeded in getting the nationwide headlines that it sought despite the court
admonishing both sides to be aware of what they put in court filings to avoid such
headlines.

Despite what probation and prosecutor's claim Defendant does not think for one
second that he is above the law as illustrated by the fact that when Defendant was

indicted he was in Africa, in a country that has no treaty with the United States to
extradite an American citizen to face American criminal charges, however Defendant
came home, Defendant also came home despite the fact that the President of the said

country told Defendant he was welcome to stay in that country because of the non-
violent nature of the charges. (Defendant again out of respect for the American criminal
justice system also returned home on two other occasions from Africa while these legal
proceedings have been in progress.)

Defendant, because of his respect forAmerica and our criminal justice system,
voluntarily came home to face the charges. This is an undeniable fact. This overt
objective conduct by Defendant far outweighs any subjective personal feelings or view
of Defendant's disrespect for the law. (Defendant, out of respect for "Law" and order
literally put his own life on the line when he came to the aide of a female tourist
from Wisconsin on July 212010. Defendant turned down an opportunity to receive
the highest civilian award that Chicago gives for his conduct because he felt he was
just doing what anyone with respect for the Law under the circumstances would
have done. Defendant never got so much as a thank you from the victim, but under
the same circumstances Defendant would do the same thing. See Attachments 4
and 5)
Case: 1:15-cr-00389 Document #: 257 Filed: 05/08/18 Page 7 of 67 PageID #:1356

Historical Characteristics
The probation and the prosecution paint Defendant as reckless individual who has

no sense of responsibility and who has spent decades showing disrespect for the Courts
and the legal system. This is simply not true Defendant does not mean to suggest that

Defendant's life has been perfect. After being born under overt racist oppression in the
poorest town, in the poorest county in American at the time, Mount Bayou, Mississippi
in Bolivar County and raised fatherless on public assistance in Chicago Public Housing
for a time, Defendant has tried his best. Defendant has never used his economically poor
up bringing or his race as an excuse. Defendant was not convicted of or on trial for
any crime until he was 43 years old and it has been 23 years since Defendant's state
conviction in 1995, and 21 years since Defendant's Federal conviction while
Defendant was incarcerate in 1997.
As Your Honor once said this case has taken on a "life of it's own". For one to be
indicted on any federal crime it is very a serious matter. Misdemeanor or Felony a

person immediately has their life changed and well as the lives of everyone in there life.

The prosecution after an extensive investigation brought misdemeanor charges against

Defendant. It is clear if the prosecution had found that Defendant was a person who had
no respect for the Law in fact by committing crimes over decades they would have
brought those charges. In fact when this investigation started it was not about a
misdemeanor tax case, but resulted from another case.
The prosecution lead by Mr Jonas was prosecuting, Prince Asiel Israel and

Gregory Turner, two African American males, for violating the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). The charges centered around
lobbying the U.S. Government, Members Congressman and Illinois State
Legislators to have the sanctions against Zimbabwe removed. Part of the factual
situation in this case also centered around obtaining diamonds from Zimbabwe,
which has 3o% of the World diamonds. Access to the Diamonds in Zimbabwe
was through then President Robert Mugabe. This Prosecution, which was in
Case: 1:15-cr-00389 Document #: 257 Filed: 05/08/18 Page 8 of 67 PageID #:1357

2oLB, lvas abolrt same time that Defendant and Elzie Higginbottom, the
Government's chief witness in Defendant's case, became of interest to the
Government. Defendant believes that this stemmed from Mr. Ben Israel's
cooperation with Mr. Jonas and the Government. Mr. Israel was upset with
Defendant because Defendant had refused to approach Mr. Higginbottom on
his behalf regarding getting involved in some illegal matters in Zimbabwe.
(Israel would in fact able to go around Defendant to get a meeting with
Higginbottom)
The Government through their investigation realized that Defendant was
not a part of this scheme by Israel and Turner to get the sanctions removed to
obtain diamonds through Mugabe. However, the Government did have
information that they received on or about May 1, 2013, that is in the Discovery
in Defendant's case, that Higginbottom had in fact made an illegal deal with
Mugabe to obtain diamonds. The indictment was unsealed against Israel and
Turner, according to the enclosed press release on August 6, 2o1g (attachment
6) about three months after the Government new of Higginbottom's private deal
with Mugabe. Mr. Jonas and his team chose at that point to go after a powerless
insolvent former Congressman, and they mentioned "former Congressman" in
their indictment press release, instead of the powerful, extremely wealthy well-
connected Elzie Higginbottom, who was doing exactly the same thing that Israel
and Turner were indicted for. In fact during this time Defendant sent a letter to
Mr. Jonas expressing a willingness to discuss certain matters with the
Government. While the Government maintains that Defendant has no respect
for the legal system and therefore, America and Defendant's Government, and
therefore should spend an unfair amount of time in prison, it was the
prosecution who was showing a lack of respect for Justice by in engaging in the
selective prosecution of Defendant.
Case: 1:15-cr-00389 Document #: 257 Filed: 05/08/18 Page 9 of 67 PageID #:1358

Special Condition of Supervised Release

Defendant at this point would like to mention a Special Condition that


probation and the prosecution is recommending if Defendant goes to prison or is
given probation or supervised release - sex-offender treatment. This
recommendation is just one more attempt by pretrial services/probation and
the prosecution to dehumanize Defendant and taint Defendant as some kind of
psycho Sex Offender that the community needs protection from that started at
Defendant's arraignment. The Magistrate Court was asked to deny defendant
bail until trial because Defendant \,\,?s a potential threat to the very community
that Defendant had raised his children in as the sole custodial parent without
incident for almost the last two decades. (The Court was asked for home
monitoring at that time as well and this was also denied.)
Here, it appears that probation and the prosecution is writing in a vacuum
in order to point out facts that they feel justify their factually baseless narrative
as it pertains to Defendant, while ignoring objective facts that clearly invalidate
their recommendation that Defendant needs Sex offender treatment.
Probation points out in their Sentencing Recommendation that "court-ordered
treatment was not ordered by the Cook County Judge" in 1995 after the state sexual
convictions. The reason that such treatment was not ordered by the court is because the
Judge did not think it necessary based on the facts of Defendant's particular case. This

Judge had ordered such an evaluation and/or treatment in other cases but did not see fit
to do so based on the facts in Defendant's case. In 1997 two years after Defendant was
convicted on the State charges, Defendant was convicted on several Federal felony
charges that were totally unrelated to the State charges. In the PSI from 1997 there was

no recommendation for such treatment for Defendant to the Court by probation during
the 78 month sentence ordered or the 5 years of supervised release for Defendant, Now,
after 23 years and being convicted in a non felony tax case, probation and the

prosecution finds it necessary to ask the Court to order sex offender treatment . Why?
Case: 1:15-cr-00389 Document #: 257 Filed: 05/08/18 Page 10 of 67 PageID #:1359

Defendant believes this is because of an inherent bias towards Defendant by the


probation office and the prosecution. (Please see previously written letter to the
probation office regarding this matter. Attachment 7 ).
Beyond the fact that the Courts or PSI's in the past have not ordered or
recommended sex offender treatment because the need for such treatment was
not determined to be necessary, Defendant's conduct over the last 23 years is the
best indication that these new recommendations are not grounded in fact.
Defendant hopes that the court would reject such a recommendation.
Case: 1:15-cr-00389 Document #: 257 Filed: 05/08/18 Page 11 of 67 PageID #:1360

Defendant's Sentencing Recommendation.

As mentioned Probation is recommending a 10 month sentence and have


the counts run as a concurrent sentence on the four probational charges of
Failure to File. This would be 8g% of a concurrent sentence. This probation
officer says the sentence is in part based on aggravating points in the PSI
sentencing recommendation document. As Defendant has pointed out in his
objections to the sentencing recommendation, the sentence is based on what are
factually incarcerate points and objects to these findings. (please see
Paragraph 7, p. 7 of Defendant's Objections)
On the other hand the prosecution has recommended, looking at the same
facts and case, virtually three times what the probation has recommended, zr to
z7 months. Prosecution paints Defendant in vitriolic, headline garbing terms, as
a career criminal who has spent "decades" showing disrespect for the law, the
courts and the legal system. Defendant has pointed out through objective facts
that this is simply not true. As Defendant points out it has been 23 years since
Defendant has been convicted of a state crime, 199s and zr years, LggT,prior to
any federal crime this current conviction.
Defendant was the successful sole custodial parent of his three children
for more than a decade the prosecution dismisses this by not to even be
mentioning it. Defendant did in fact spend a decade as commissioned Officer in
Special Forces and was Honorably discharged. Defendantfor decades has never
smoked, drank alcoholic beverages or used illegal drugs. Defendant, four
decades, as mentioned earlier, was not convicted of or on trial for any crime
until he was 43 years old and it has been two decades, zgyears since
Defendant's state conviction in 1995, and 2l years since Defendant's Federal
conviction while Defendant was incarcerated in LggT.
All of these objective facts were totally ignored in the prosecution's efforts
Case: 1:15-cr-00389 Document #: 257 Filed: 05/08/18 Page 12 of 67 PageID #:1361

to seek personal revenge against Defendant. It is as if the Prosecution thinks


Defendant should be punished for raising up from abject poverty to become a
Harvard and Oxford graduate and Rhodes scholar. When the prosecution
mentions this in their Sentencing Memorandum it is as though the majority
society gave Defendant these accomplishments and Defendant should be
punished for not being grateful enough. It is as though Defendant did not earn
anything.
Defendant believes a) that it would be a fair to sentence Defendant to time served
for the 2 months spent in custody, for the 4 months on Horne Monitoring with an ankle
brace and a curfew. And lyear probation with Defendant being allowed leave the

Chicago area with his children. The defendant has also been for 3 years on restricted
ll1ovell1ent and confined to the Northern District of Illinois. b) If Defendant is sentenced
a fair sentence would 4 months a half-way house here in Chicago so Defendant can be
available for his children and eam a living. Currently, Defendant is virtually horneless
staying in a motel. Defendant, at this point does even own a suit.

Defendant's Current Nledical Condition

As the probation office points out in the PSI, Defendant has some serious
documented medical concems. All of the Defendant's medial records have been turned
over to Probation.

circumstances, taking into the safety of Defendant's family.

Exemptions $93,150: -84,653. Defendant would have had a $84,653 tax surplus and this is without all
of the available deductions ( i.e. education credits) to Defendant at the time. However, this analysis
clearly indicates that Defendant would not have owed taxes and in fact, as mentioned, the Defendant
would have had a tax surplus. This information is from IRS Publication 501, Exemptions (e) Standard

These exemptions are the standard deductions and personal and dependent exemptions to which
the defendant was entitled in each year in Defendant's case according to Sentencing Guideline sec.
2Tl.l, application note 3. which states, inter alia,

"In determining the tax loss, the court shottld accotmtfor the standard deductiott and personal
and dependent exemptions to which the deJbndant was entitled.In addition, the court should account
for any unclaimed credit, deduction, or exemption that is needed to ensure a reasonable estimate of the
tax loss, but only to the extent that (A) the credit, deduction, or exemption was related to the tax
offense and could have been claimed at the time the tax offense was committed; (B) the credit,
deduction, or exemption is reasonably and practicably ascertainable; and (C) the defendant presents
information to support the credit, deduction, or exemption sufficiently in advance of sentencing to
provide an adequate opportunity to evaluate whether it has sufficient indicia of reliability to support its
probable accuracy." (emphasis added)

Because of the aforementioned Defendant should be sentenced with an Offense Level of 6.
