On Thursday at Federal Court in Philadelphia Nathan Allen Kriegler who is a resident of the Holland section of Northampton plead guilty along with three others to selling close to $550,000 in stolen merchandise and selling it on eBay.com.

Nathan Allen Kriegler, 42 of Northampton plead guilty Thursday to the charges of theft, government property, wire fraud, and bank fraud.

U.S. Attorney Zane David Memeger said that the three tried to defraud 19 retail corporations out of approximately $546,017 worth of merchandise and sold stolen goods including laptop computers, printers, scanners, toner, televisions,and industrial printing equipment on eBay.com.

Kriegler faces up to 190 years in prison and a $3.75 million fine, restitution payments to the victim companies and banks that he defrauded.

The two others involved with the scam Ryan A. Pollack, 34, of Elkins Park, and Evan F. Appel, 34, of Philadelphia are each facing a maximum sentence of 100 years in prison, a $1.25 million fine, and restitution payments.

Kriegler faced more charges and a greater punishment because he is also charged with theft of government property, wire fraud, and bank fraud charges in connection with three additional alleged fraud schemes he was involved in.

  1. I know Nathan and his family personally. It's sad that his daughter will have to view him this way for the rest of her life. However, he's been a con man for all of his adult life. Not just that past few years.

  2. Nobody has the right to judge anyone. We all have pasts that we may not be proud of, but the person above just seems just jealous. It is sad for all who were involved and maybe this was the lesson that everyone needed to change and move on with their lives.

  3. Sounds like your jealous, to be honest. I'm sure he can drive a BMW when he gets out of prison. Also, I'm quite certain he still has collections. Have fun being a hater.
