The court ordered Ganley to surrender to U.S. marshals on Jan. 13, 2003, to begin his prison service.
Ganley is the first former Critical Path executive to receive a criminal sentence from a stock fraud that occurred at the company during the third and fourth quarters of 2000.
Three other former Critical Path executives - David A. Thatcher, 47, Jonathan Beck, 33, and Kevin Clark, 37, - also face criminal charges.
Ganley pleaded guilty in April. According to his indictment, Ganley sold 1,300 shares of Critical Path stock at a time when he was aware the company was recording false revenues and fraudulently under-recording expenses |
