David Joseph Traina*, of Boca Raton, Florida, who is the Husband of convicted Mutual Benefits Corp. Office Manager Carol Traina, appears to be cooperating with the authorities, as an Information, and not an Indictment, was filed against him. He has been charged with two counts of Tax Evasion, each count carrying a maximum sentence of five (5) years' imprisonment.

Traina's shell company, Polaris Marketing, Inc., a Florida corporation, was allegedly used as a vehicle to take a large number of improper and unauthorised tax deductions.

His sentencing has been set for 10 August, 2007. Carol Traina was sentenced to five years in Federal Prison and three years of Supervised Release (a federal form of Parole).

Due to the fact that all of the sentenced Mutual Benefits defendants (save one) have not yet been sent to prison, you can expect that their testimony is needed for additional indictments in the case.
