Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino has been sentenced to 8 months in prison for tax evasion after pleading guilty. Mike and his brother, Marc, were both charged with multiple tax offenses in 2014, including falsifying records on his almost $9 million income. Marc received a 2-year sentence.

Mike’s attorney was going for probation, while prosecutors wanted a 14 month sentence. He is currently out on bail until his term begins.

Michael Sorrentino pleaded guilty to one count of tax evasion and admitted concealing his income in 2011 by making cash deposits in amounts that wouldn’t trigger federal reporting requirements. Marc Sorrentino pleaded guilty to one count of assisting in the preparation of a false return.
