Well if you apply for a visa they are going to ask why you are doing so rather than using the waiver scheme.
You have to say it's because of your record and provide proof of it. Or find some other reason for applying (eg own property there and need to make frequent visits) - not that easy.
And given that your record is recent and for dishonesty they are entitled to refuse a visa anyway. Whether they would or not I don't know.

How true dzug.....................and
Just imagine the greeting jaguar07 will receive 'if' somehow, and it happens all the time, the USA Immigration Officer has been made aware of the brush with the law; it is not a lot of fun sitting for hours in a windowless room manacled and chained to the floor, waiting for 'officialdom' to decide if you should be returned to your port-of-departure.
And when they detect a lie, or omission, they really start to down 'Bear Down Hard!'
It is not an easy decision to make
