SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 2 – Nicholas Truglia is
charged with cyber intrusion
in order to steal
crypto-currency.
On May 21, 2021U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Alvin K. Hellerstein held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
Truglia is
charged with "SIM swapping;"
the complaint says $23.8
million were diverted. Then
money was
laundered.
Judge
Hellerstein set a deadline of
June 29 at 2:30 pm to make
motions or waive the right.
Truglia
pled guilty on Octboer 28,
2021, and was belatedly set
for sentencing on November 2,
2022. Inner City Press was
there.
After a
discussion of information
still lacking from his counsel
to Probation for the
Pre-Sentencing Report, it was
postponed to November 30, and
he was taken back into
detention. Inner City Press
live tweeted here
Ok- now at
sentencing in US v Nicholas
Truglia who pled guilty
to a scheme to steal $20
million in cryptocurrency
through a SIM swap attack. He
is in a suit, 2 US Marshals
behind him.
The
Pre-Sentencing Report says
defendant refused to ID the
bank.
His lawyer says
false, it's TD Bank NA.
Judge
Hellerstein: why didn't you
correct this in June?
Counsel: We told
Probation he stores his crypto
wallet online
Judge
Hellerstein: Give them more
info
Now the
sentencing is being adjourned
to Nov 30 at 2:15 pm. Judge
emphasizes he will not adjourn
it again.
The case is US v.
Truglia, 19-cr-921
