U-S Attorney Terrance Flynn says 40-year-old John Torchia of Rochester, and his brother, 39-year-old Peter Torchia of Greece, have pled guilty to wire fraud. The crime carries a maximum sentence of 20 years imprisonment, a 250-thousand dollar fine, or both.
Prosecutors say that between March 2004 and December 2004, John Torchia owned and operated E-Z Money, a second-hand store in Rochester. He and his brother received stolen property through the store from two individuals who had burglarized numerous homes in the Southern Tier.
