According to public court documents, Marty Feinberg owned and operated a scrap metal business in Fort Madison.

Feinberg is scheduled to be sentenced on March 10, 2025, and faces a potential sentence of up to one year in prison on each count. A federal judge will determine any sentence after considering the United States sentencing guidelines and other statutory factors. United States Attorney Richard D.
