Jacob Boldt, age 35, of Gansevoort, New York, was sentenced today to 51 months in prison for dealing in firearms without a license and possessing a firearm as a felon.
United States Attorney Carla B. Freedman; Matthew Scarpino, Special Agent in Charge of the Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), Buffalo, New York Field Office; and Bryan Miller, Special Agent in Charge of the New York Field Division of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), made the announcement.
In pleading guilty, Boldt admitted he sold multiple firearms without a license, identified criminals as good customers for “ghost guns,” and possessed a firearm that he knew was stolen. At the time of the offences, Boldt could not possess firearms because of a prior felony conviction.
In addition to the imprisonment, United States District Judge Anne M. Nardacci fined Boldt $5,000, ordered him to serve two years of supervised release and forfeit a shotgun seized by law enforcement.
HSI and ATF investigated the case with assistance from the Saratoga County Sheriff’s Office, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan S. Reiner prosecuted the case.
