Harlan Kelly, the former head of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SF PUC), has been sentenced to four years in prison for his involvement in a yearslong corruption scheme involving bank fraud and conspiracy, described as "very serious criminal conduct" by Judge Richard Seeborg. Seeborg emphasized Kelly's betrayal of the public trust and violation of his oath to serve the public during the sentencing. This case is part of a broader crackdown on corruption and fraud, with several other individuals facing legal repercussions for their criminal activities, including Mendel Zilberberg, a lawyer and former director of the failed Park Avenue Bank, who received a 30-month prison sentence for his role in a scheme to obtain a $1.4 million loan under fraudulent terms.
