The thread:
Judge Gardephe :
it's securities fraud, bank
fraud, and wire fraud, 30 year
max. I have a copy of the plea
agreement, 121 months or less,
you can't appeal.
Bernardi:
Beginning in 2016 we began to
use false GigaTrust financial
statements. A bank demanded a
$10 million deposit. I used
wires to lie.
Sentencing is Dec
15, 2 pm.
Update: Same
case, Bernardi's co-defendants
Nihat Cardak and Sunil Chandra
will be proceeding to trial,
at least for now.
Chandra has
been permitted to phone in to
this proceeding. Does that
mean we can / could?
