Amid Trevor Milton Trial Nikola CFO Gets Testy and Lawyer Spent, Illegal Mass Recording

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Maxwell book
BBC - Honduras - CIA Trial book - NY Mag

LITERARY SDNY, Sept 28 – When the Trevor Milton trial resumed after four days off, two of them for the Jewish holidays, Nikolo CFO Kim Brady was still on the stand.

  Kurt was there in Courtroom 318, sitting behind Team Trevor, watching as one of his lawyers Ken Caruso passed yellow post-it notes to another younger man in the gallery, typing on a laptop.  

    There were other lawyers sitting in what had been the extended COVID jury box. In the plastic box counsel had used to have to question from, the computer monitor showed the not-admitted exhibits that were ostensibly "for the witness only." Kurt was witnessing it. 

   Yes, Brady has signed purchase orders. But he hastened to say, or try to stay before Mukasey cut him off with a yes or no option, that as CFO he had to pay whatever the executive chairman told him to. It didn't mean he agreed with it.  

  But had Brady said anything, about what he now said was fraud? Maybe to others, but never to Trevor Milton. Was Trevor Milton the one who had been lulled?

     Mukasey was hammering away at Brady, who had likened retail investors to "the Average Joe." Mukasey asked, You think they're too stupid to read SEC filings, right? The AUSA objected, and Judge Ramos sustained. But the point was made.

  When they took a break with the jury out of the courtroom, Judge Ramos asked, Anything you need to argue before me?   "I'm spent," Mukasey said. Yet some pointed out that Brady was still standing, or flying. It was like boxing. Would there be another round?

   Next up was the Utah land seller, whose son had illegal recorded his father's call with Trevor and the broker. He got immunity for that, in exchange for turning over the audio file.  More on Patreon here.
