SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 3 – In a Brooklyn
check-stealing scheme, Joanna
Dejesus, George Wilcox and
Thomas Burton were charged in
February.
On
November 2, U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Paul G. Gardephe held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
The
Complaint described a $110,000
check from a Brooklyn Business
to a Landscaping Business.
Then a
company with a name nearly
identical to the Landscaping
Business was incorporated.
The check was by
a person with a "Joanna
DeJesus" driver's license in a
bank in Chinatown. Thomas
Burton was added to the case
later.
The next
conference was set for January
27, bail was extended and time
excluded under the Speedy
Trial Act.
The case is US v.
Dejesus et al, 20-cr-397
(Gardephe)
