SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Oct 5 – Danny Bang and Cuong
Bang were charged with
narcotics conspiracy involving
10 kilograms of
methamphetamine.
On June 8 Danny
Bang's lawyer appeared before
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Lewis J. Liman; Inner
City Press covered it.
It emerged
that Danny Bang has scheduled
a change of plea - that is, a
guilty plea - proceeding for
September 25.
That took place
on October 5, and Inner City
Press covered it. An hour
later, Cuong Bang called in
from California. He is will to
submit a Safety Valve proffer,
but only in writing.
His lawyer
Sabrina Shroff explained that
a client should have his
lawyer by their side for such
a proffer, not far away on
Zoom. She cited another case,
US v. Rico, 18-cr-661, where
the US Attorney's Office
accepted a written proffer.
AUSA Elizabeth
Hanft, who appeared in both
Bang proceedings, said her
Office is unlikely to accept a
written proffer, saying
seemingly dismissively that
Ms. Shroff can send in
whatever she wants.
In
this case, Judge Liman said, I
am the judge, you will not
speak over each other. There
appears to be an April 19,
2021 trial date.
The case is now
US v. Bang et al., 19-cr-213
(Liman).
