After several delays, the sentencings of the three original founders of 5Linx — all of whom have admitted to wire fraud and tax crimes — are now scheduled for December.

It's unclear the specifics of the delays, except that at least one of the defendants — Craig Jerabeck — had issues with the pre-sentence report from probation officials that is used by the judge to help decide a sentence.

Court records show that the defendants Jason Guck and Jeb Tyler also apparently had the same issues.

However, Jerabeck recently withdrew his objections to the report, records show, apparently clearing the path for the sentencing. And U.S. District Judge David Larimer, the presiding judge in the case, canceled a hearing that was scheduled for defendants to air their issues.

Pre-sentencing probation records are sealed, and the attorneys in the case are under a "gag order" imposed by Larimer, thus limiting the information available about the earlier issues with the probation report.

In March 2017 the FBI arrested the three, accusing them of bilking investors of more than $4 million by siphoning off 5Linx money and rolling it into shell companies. 5Linx is a so-called "multi-level marketing" company in which people advance by finding others to sell the goods. Through the years the company, which once was one of Rochester's biggest success stories, sold everything from internet-based TV to health supplements to coffee.

This year, the three men pleaded guilty to crimes different than those in the original accusations, admitting that they illegally pocketed about $2.3 million from a Florida vendor selling 5Linx products, including identity theft protection.

Each also admitted to failing to report income to the Internal Revenue Service.

Jerabeck is now scheduled to be sentenced Dec. 6, Tyler on Dec. 12, and Guck on Dec. 19.
