SDNY COURTHOUSE,
May 21 – Francis Lorenzo used
his position as UN Ambassador
for the Dominican Republic to
take and pay bribes for a
Macau "UN South South
Development Conference Center
proposed by Ng Lap Seng
- who on March 15, 2021 was
granted release from prison
after being represented by
lawyer Hugh H. Mo.
By April 23, Ng
was reportedly back in Macau,
laughing. Still, he is being
sued in the SDNY, by Hugh H.
Mo, P.C., for unpaid legal
fees.
On May 21, Ng
filed a motion that Mo
"demanded a fixed fee of a
total of $6 million ($1
million for the bail hearing,
$2 million for pre-trial work
and $3 million for trial and,
if applicable, sentencing...
the Mo fiirm outsourced all of
the legal services."
It is
elsewhere reported that Mo,
while at the Manhattan
District Attorney’s office,
mentored a young Sonia
Sotomayor. In her memoir,
Justice Sotomayor recalled Mr.
Mo as an “all around
confounder of stereotypes.”
On June 17, SDNY
Judge John P. Cronan held a
proceeding in the Law Office
of Hugh H. Mo's lawsuit
against the IRS for
"erroneously assessing and
collecting penalties in the
amount of $13,181.24 from the
Mo Firm."
The case
would not go to a jury, and
would take only one day.
Motions are sued by June 21,
and discovery to send by
August 30. We'll have more on
all this.
This case is Law
Firm of Hugh H. Mo, P.C. v.
United States Of America,
20-cv-10870 (Cronan).
