On Money Laundering Charges Benzion Zirkind Was Released Now Hearing Aug 14

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - The Source

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Aug 9 – Benzion Zirkind was arrested and released on money laundering charges on July 21 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. He put up a $100,000 bond secured by a property at 1349 President Street in Brooklyn owned by a friend of the family. 

  SDNY Magistrate Judge Barbara Moses held a proceeding late on July 21, and Inner City Press covered it. 

  Benzion Zirkind unlike most defendants in the SDNY had retained counsel, who announced that he had "four questions."    Judge Moses joked that those should be for the youngest child.

One of the questions was how the defendant should avoid speaking with co-defendants, if some of them are sealed. More, apparently, will be family members.  

 The President Street property is valued at over $2 million.

The next court date is before District Judge Denise L. Cote. She has now ordered, "ORDER as to Benzion Zirkind: ORDERED that a conference is scheduled for Friday, August 14, 2020 at 10:00 am. in which Mr. Tamir, Mr. Myers, the defendant, and counsel for the Government all must participate. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Government shall provide Mr. Tamir with a copy of this Order. (Pretrial Conference set for 8/14/2020 at 10:00 AM before Judge Denise L. Cote)."

The case is US v. Zirkind, 19-cr-463 (Cote / Moses)
