SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Feb 7 – David Pike was
repeatedly mentioned during
the November 2019 trial which
culminated in a jury
convicting Mark Scott of money
laundering for OneCoin, before
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Edgardo
Ramos.
But Pike
did not appear in the trial as
a cooperating witness, as did
OneCoin's now disappeared
founder Ruja Ignatova's
brother Konstantin Ignatov.
See Inner City Press' first
coverage here,
and pick-ups here
and here
(BBC). Pike was not a
defendant, or even in the same
indictment as Scott and the
OneCoin siblings.
Now on
February 7 there's been the
filing of a superseding
indictment against Pike, after
his waiver of indictment. Pike
is indicted for Conspiracy to
Commit Bank Fraud, with a
quote from his email about
"scrubbing" Ruja Ignatova from
documents. More on Patreon here.
Inner City Press
has requested more information
from the US Attorney's office
- watch this site.
Meanwhile, Scott has asked to
have his conviction
overturned, or a new
trial. Inner City Press
will be there. Pike's case is
now US v. Pike, 17-cr-630
(Ramos).
