SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Feb 19 -- It was past 6 p.m.
when two defendants both with
a Chinese interpreter were
brought into the Magistrates
Court of the U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York.
One of the two
had the whiteshoe law firm
Milbank to represent him. He
faced and faces money
laundering charges but filed a
financial affidavit seeking to
have the government and tax
payers fund Milbank's
representation.
SDNY
Magistrate Judge Barbara Moses
noted that the defendant owns
a house worth between $600,000
and $700,000 dollars. She said
his savings account, the
balance of which she did not
disclose, was disconcertingly
high for a person like him
with employment listed as a
technician in a nail salon.
His provisional Milbank counsel,
partner
Katherine R.
Goldstein, did
not explain
these finances.
While Inner City Press was
able to learn the docket
number of the case, when it
checked on PACER, the case was
listed as sealed. The Chinese
consulate has been informed of
the arrests. Inner City Press
will have more about this
case.
