ROTTERDAM
Man’s sentence linked to restitution total
Judge orders him to come up with the amount by October

BY STEVEN COOK Gazette Reporter

    A Green Island man has until October to come up with as much of the money he took from a Rotterdam business as he can, with the amount reflecting on his fi nal prison sentence.
    But it is expected to be a daunting task: prosecutors say he took nearly a half a million dollars.
    James P. Koumjian, 50, pleaded guilty Friday three counts of thirddegree grand larceny, felonies.
    In return for his plea, Koumjian agreed to restitution in the amount of $487,000 to Rotterdam window and insulation business Huff ‘N Puff.
    He also agreed to be sentenced to up to six to 18 years in state prison, his final sentence depending on how much of the money he could return, prosecutor Peter Willis said Tuesday.
    Sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 22.
    Koumjian was originally arrested in January, accused of taking the money from September 2007 through August 2009.
    The original charges turned into an indictment with 76 counts, one for each alleged transaction. There were also more that prosecutors found out about later and had yet to indict, Willis said.
    As to where the money was going, prosecutors are unsure, Willis said. Koumjian did not appear to have purchased any large items with the money. .................>>>>...................>>>>...................http://www.dailygazette.net/De.....r01002&AppName=1
