Hello Wesley, I too have been convicted of such a felony. On
Janury 21, 2000, I was convicted inU.S. District Court, Middle
District of Florida, of Mis-prision of Felony, a felony, in
violation of 18 U.S.C. §4.

If you receive any word on your question, please share that
with me.

I now live in Arizona, have been here since 1998. I was able
to secure my Arizona Real Estate license and retained my
Florida Real Estate license until I let it laps a few years
ago. Bottom line... this type of conviction sucks. I, like
you, had no idea that a crime was in progress, let alone a
felony. In my case, the prosecutory offered me a misdemenor
offence if I could get the real crooks to confess but I failed
and for that, was given the misprision of a felony conviction.
Fortunatly, the judge felt that I was more than cooperative
and forced all of the guidelines to the very bottom, and
ultimately revoked the 24 month probation after only two
months.

Good luck... please stay in touch.
