Do I understand it right, he was stipped of the citizenship because of a mailbox?

Did he end up winning the appeal?
In summary: the guy was arrested between his interview and oath, and lied about the arrest at the oath ceremony and when questioned afterwards. Denatz'd, and rightly so.
No, he pleaded guilty to intending to commit mail fraud, which is a federal crime in itself. Part of that crime was obtaining a mailbox under another name. The fact that he pleaded guilty to a crime, but lied about it on the N-400 form, is what led to his denaturalization.
(I'm not a lawyer, just my interpretation of the slides)
Does this case tell us that we should disclose ALL citations (including traffic citations) in N400? It appears that in N470, it is very specific to include traffic citations. I imagine the requirements of N400 and N470 should be the same. This is contradictory to some opinions on this board.
Concerning minor traffic citations - no, I don't get that impression at all. Do you?
In both of these cases, the men willfully broke federal laws and committed crimes worthy of imprisonment.
And I just read N470 and it says nothing about traffic tickets. What do you mean? Don't confuse people.

I think allaboutgc meant the N-445, not N-470.

Matter of Psalidas, 11 I&N Dec. 76 (BIA 1965).
Oh, how things have changed!
Does the rule of 5-year residence after getting citizenship still exist? Do we still need to count days in a year of being outside the US???
No, there is not a rule like that for US citizens. If you want, you can stay out of the US forever and still maintain your citizenship. However, remember that as a US citizen, the IRS still wants your tax money on world income.
