SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Dec 27 – For a three defendant
complaint about bank fraud in
buying high end vehicles, U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrate Judge Sarah L. Cave
signed a sealed complaint on
December 12.
On
December 27 one of the three
defendants, John Novoa was
presented before SDNY
Magistrate Judge Barbara
Moses. He wanted to be bailed
to Miami to continue working
at a car dealership there name
Scarlett.
Judge Moses said,
Wait a minute, don't car
salesman usually college the
credit card and other
financial information of
prospective buyers? Novoa's
Criminal Justice Act lawyer
Eric R. Breslin replied that
Novoa just sells car, he
doesn't finance them.
But
by the end of the bond
proceeding, with only Inner
City Press in the courtroom,
Judge Moses restricted Novoa
to living in his mother's
house in Brooklyn and to not
"possess or access credit
cards, ID cards or other
personal information of
others."
He was to be released on his
own signature of a $75,000
bond. But along with Breslin
he waited for more than an
hour for Assistant US Attorney
Jacob R. Fiddelman to return
to sign the bond for the
government. It was a slow day
in the SDNY Mag Court, after
the 15-defendant extravaganza
of December 26. This case is US
v. Lev, et al.,
19-mj-11633 (Moses).
