A READ: — U.S. Attorney Massachusetts (@DMAnews1) 'Specifically, it is alleged that Dolan stole over $2 million that he was holding in escrow pending the outcome of a family trust lawsuit in which Dolan represented one of the parties,' the statement said. Court papers said Dolan used the funds for a variety of personal expenses including relatives' tuition and student loan payments, the purchase of a Jeep Wrangler, mortgage payments, landscaping and HVAC services, and at least $5,000 to cover 'cosmetic surgery' for a family member. Advertisement A plea deal filed in the case said prosecutors will recommend incarceration within the federal guidelines for Dolan, and that the government will also seek 'restitution of $2,022,460″ and other fines. It wasn't immediately clear how much prison time the government will seek based on the guidelines. 'Defendant agrees that all criminal monetary penalties, including special assessment, restitution, forfeiture, and/or fine imposed shall be due and payable immediately, and further agrees that any Court-ordered repayment schedule does not preclude further enforcement or collection by the United States,' said the plea agreement.

Palm Beach eye doctor arrested for shooting ex-wife dead outside condo: deputies
Cynthia Sciarrone was two days shy of her 55th birthday when deputies found her dead on a Palm Beach County sidewalk in the predawn hours of July 15. She sustained a gunshot to her head, just 75 feet from the home she once shared with her ex-husband, a Martin County eye doctor who law enforcement officials are saying is the alleged killer, according to the suspect's arrest warrant. Around 3:30 p.m., Sciarrone was discovered after officers responded to a 'man down' call from Palm Beach Fire Rescue near the 4700 block of Lucerne Lakes Boulevard in Lake Worth Beach. A Spirit Airlines flight attendant, she was still in uniform and lay feet away from her suitcase when discovered, the report reads. No evidence of a firearm was found at the scene. Dashboard camera footage recovered later from Sciarrone's car, a grey Subaru, shows that she was shot hours earlier, around 11:50 p.m. Officials noted the shooter, who was just outside of the camera's view, was a man donning a baseball cap. Detectives were quick to single out a suspect — neighbors and an initial background check revealed that she was recently divorced from ophthalmologist Richard Seith as of May 5. The 53-year-old doctor, who owns Treasure Coast Eye Specialist in Stuart, owed her $285,000 and had to cede the Lake Worth Beach condominium to Sciarrone as part of the settlement, his arrest warrant detailed. Per one witness in the report, Seith's distinctive orange Jeep Wrangler — which sported the words 'Jack O' Lantern' — was regularly spotted staking out the Lucerne Lakes community and was seen as recently as July 13, two days before Sciarrone's death. Another, who said she briefly dated Seith in 2014 and befriended Sciarrone later, described their marriage as an 'escalating pattern of emotional and psychologically abusive behavior which Cynthia confided about.' Detectives began keeping tabs on Seith after a July 15 anonymous tip said he 'was stalking the victim and believed to have fired gun shots at places the victim would stay,' reads the report. Search warrants placed the following day turned up mounting evidence. Per his arrest warrant, Seith's cellular records matched surveillance footage of his Jeep traveling from Martin County to Lucerne Lakes the day Sciarrone was killed. His phone also showed that he searched Spirit Airlines flight departure information hours earlier and purchased a tracking device subscription that he canceled three hours after she was shot. A search of his Jeep Wrangler and eye clinic uncovered guns and gun paraphernalia in both. Seith was booked July 18 into Palm Beach County's Main Detention Center, where he remains and is behind held without bond. Stalking, abuse and a divorce While Palm Beach County officers have yet to release a motive, grim details on Seith and Sciarrone's six-year marriage could point to one. The eye doctor allegedly demanded she 'swing' with other sexual partners against her wishes and refused to pay for 'medically necessary dental care' if she didn't comply. In 2023, when she trained as a flight attendant in Houston to seek financial independence, Seith confessed his mind would go to a 'dark place' when thinking of what she did while away and admitted he considered killing his ex-wife during his first divorce, according to the warrant. Seith's dark musings and physically abusive tendencies led her to stay at a friend's Stuart home that the ophthalmologist was known to drive by frequently. According to the warrant, he sent repeated texts to Sciarrone and her friend laden with threats like 'Great knowing you' and demands to share her whereabouts. Sciarrone originally filed for divorce in January 2024 and moved to the Lake Worth Beach condo that she resided in until her death after her ex-husband kicked her out of their shared home and financially cut her off. Seith faces a charge of first-degree murder in connection with Sciarrone's death.
