A successful revival of sports radio personality Craig Carton’s career just a few months after his release from prison went unnoticed by at least one victim of his multi-dollar fraud.
Ducal Corp and its owner Gerrard Luduca, while serving their sentence, wrote that a reinstatement order be rewritten.
The letter, dated Friday and recorded on Monday in court records, noted that Carton returned to the airwaves in November in a major afternoon slot on AFAN, which has achieved “dramatic ratings success” and is alleged to be A MLB network show was believed to be a daily morning host.
Nevertheless, Carton, 52, said in the letter, not a single reinstatement payment has been made since his June release from prison, which is about one year of a 3 1/2 year sentence after participating in prison rehabilitation programs. Was serving a sentence.
The letter stated that Carton needed an order to pay 15% of the earnings of approximately $ 5 million in restitution, which should be changed to reflect his career revival. Priority, it said, must be given to pay LoDuka and another person before a company that also has more than $ 25 billion in assets.
It also mentions that he cited $ 7 million in debt and a video job in lower Manhattan that paid only $ 50,000 a year when he applied for bankruptcy last summer in New Jersey.
Carton’s lawyer, Derelle Jenny, said the letter’s restitution claims were false. The lawyer said that Carton has not only paid in the direction of restitution since his release, but was imprisoned before they were required.
Jenny said that Carton owed Luduca about $ 30,000 of the $ 435,000.
“Most criminal defendants do not have the opportunity to return to a place where they return to the starting line,” Jenny said. “Mr. C. By God’s grace, Carton is fortunate to be in a position where he can return to the starting line.”
Still, the lawyer said, Carton “makes a fraction of what he had previously created.”
Carton reportedly earned $ 2 million when he was paired up with former NFL quarterback Boomer Asiason on a popular WFAN “Boomer and Carton” radio show before the 2017 arrest.
Sentencing his 2019 sentence, Carton said that memories of sexual abuse at the age of 11 Jerry Sandusky, a former assistant Penn State football coach, were convicted of child sexual abuse in 2012.
He said that he turned into sticks and became accustomed to playing a gamble oblivious to winning and losing.
“I did not celebrate winning $ 4 million in three days in the Bahamas. I lost $ 700,000 in less than 24 hours after a few weeks in Atlantic City.
He credits his arrest as a “lightning bolt of awareness” that led him to gamblers’ benami and therapy.
Now, Jenny said, Carton focuses on her four children and her job.
“It sounds glamorous but it is very difficult work. It is difficult to get it right and everyone’s eyes are on him, and the moment he goes wrong, it is over.
