In 1st UN Bribery Circus Ng Lap Seng Medically Wins Another Day of Freedom As UN Bans Press

By Matthew Russell Lee

UNITED NATIONS, July 17 – Macau billionaire Ng Lap Seng, convicted a year ago of bribing the UN, spent even more money on lawyers on July 16, and on multiple doctors in the last week, to successfully win another day of freedom from US Judge Vernon S. Broderick. Post-hearing first video report here; now more detailed report. In a four hour proceeding witnessed to the end by Inner City Press and only one other media, Ng's lawyer Mr Tai H. Park and his Doctor Stephen Pan who is the son in law of one of his other lawyers Hugh Mo managed to parade a series of MRIs and other tests taken over the past weekend as evidence that Ng is anxious and needs more time. On July 9 Ng had an elective stent procedure, and was released after eight hours. Then he went to NYU Langone, and was diagnosed with an inner ear issue. But an MRI taken found some "silent" landings on his brain, and another discovered a spine condition that, it later emerged, had been found in 2012. There was a Doctor "Adubato" who, it was said, initially signed a letter that Ng would need two weeks then recanted it, seemingly without repercussions. No one else from the UN was there, to see this travesty of one of their bribers. What Ng actually did barely came up during the presentations by Janis M .Echenberg and Daniel C. Richenthal: their prosecution, as it turned out, spend at least $10,000 in taxpayer money for a Colombia cardiologist Doctor Schneller to come out with such clunkers as the only advice he gives his stent patients is to not go to "Third World countries." After four hours of hypochondria of a type never entertained from less affluent defendants, Broderick delivered yet another day of freedom to Ng. He was supposed to be in jail, at latest, on July 10. Then July 17. Now it's Wednesday July 17 at noon, in Allenwood, Pennsylvania. Who knows? Watch this site. Eight months after Ng's conviction, on March 30 the prosecution asked for a jail term of over six years and a $2 million fine. On May 11 Ng was sentenced to four years in jail, and ironically to pay the legal fees of the UN, which even under the prosecutors' press release he corrupted. At the UN, Carlos Garcia who facilitated Ng's bribes to Francis Lorenzo's family in the Dominican Republic was at the General Assembly stakeout at this month as exclusively reported by Inner City Press.
