AG Weiser claims to be tough on crime – both petty and sophisticated – but the assertion is questionable when you consider his use of discretion.
Consider this recent consent decree, as reported by the Colorado Sun:
“The Colorado Attorney General’s Office on Wednesday filed a consent judgment in Denver District Court to settle allegations against defendant Marcio Garcia Andrade for violating the Colorado Consumer Protection Act. Andrade, who doesn’t live in Colorado, was accused of filing the new business formations between February 2022 and August 2023 that were linked to a Northglenn townhome address “without the knowledge or consent of the homeowner and resident,” according to the AG’s lawsuit.”
Andrade has denied all the allegations and claimed he was unaware his registered agent changed their address. As part of the consent decree, Andrade “is barred from filing new business registrations that don’t comply with the law. He also must dissolve the 15,660 businesses created at false addresses and pay $75,000 in penalties.”
$75,000 in penalties for 15,660 allegedly fraudulent filings. That is less than $5 per crime.
Weiser being tough on crime is just narrative.
