Hacker Tyurin Had Sentencing Postponed Due To Tech Breakdown Now Back On For Jan 7

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - ESPN

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Dec 8 –   More than a year ago a hacker pleaded guilty and was to be sentenced on December 3. But due to technological problems, ironically, it had been postponed. 

 Back on September 23, 2019 then- U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman said:  “Andrei Tyurin’s extensive hacking campaign targeted major financial institutions, brokerage firms, news agencies, and other companies.  Ultimately, he gathered the customer data of more than 80 million victims, one of the largest thefts of U.S. customer data from a single financial institution in history.  With today’s plea, Tyurin’s global reign of computer intrusion is over and he faces significant time in a U.S. prison for his crimes.”  

 So on December 3, 2020 Tyurin with a Russian interpreter was ready to be sentenced.

But the CourtCall platform was deemed not to work well.

Inner City Press had called in; there was discussion of shifting the sentencing to AT&T, audio-only. But it had to be put over.

Now on December 8, it has been put back on for January 7: "ORDER as to Andrei Tyurin: The Court has requested that Defendant's continued sentencing proceeding take place via videoconference on the morning of January 7, 2021, at 9:00 a.m. No conference date, time or modality can be confirmed before the end of the preceding week, so counsel are requested to keep their calendars open between the hours of 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. on January 7, 2021, until further notice. SO ORDERED. (Sentencing set for 1/7/2021 at 09:00 AM before Judge Laura Taylor Swain) (Signed by Judge Laura Taylor Swain on 12/8/2020)."  

 It was said in 2019, "TYURIN is charged with committing these crimes with Gery Shalon, a/k/a “Garri Shalelashvili,” a/k/a “Gabriel,” a/k/a “Gabi,” a/k/a “Phillipe Mousset,” a/k/a “Christopher Engeham”; Joshua Samuel Aaron, a/k/a “Mike Shields”; and Ziv Orenstein, a/k/a “Aviv Stein,” a/k/a “John Avery,” in furtherance of securities market manipulation, illegal online gambling, and payment processing fraud scheme. 

 Inner City Press will continue to cover this case.

It is US v. Shalon et al, 15-cr-333 (Swain)
