SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Feb 5 -- For scam crypto
currency OneCoin, Sebastian
Greenwood who co-founded the
company with Ruja Ignatova was
sentenced to 20 years in
prison by U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Judge Edgardo Ramos
on September 12, 2023. Inner
City Press was there and live
tweeted, thread here
On January 19
Mark Scott, convicted at
trial, submitted a
heavily redacted sentencing
submission, asking for "no
more than five years of
imprisonment." Inner City
Press immediately wrote in
seeking to unseal. Letter here.
Later on January 19, the US
Attorney's Office asked for 17
years.
On January 22,
Judge Ramos' chambers told the
parties to respond to Inner
City Press' motion to unseal
by January 24 at 3 pm.
Scott's lawyer to
his credit unsealed some, but
still sealed for example the
names of Scott's supporters
who were clients - one might
say, you can't have it both
says, supporting anonymously.
But worse, DOJ wrote in and
said it has no objection to
this. Judge Ramos agreed. And
see Q&A here.
On January 25,
Mark Scott was sentenced to 10
years in prison - but will be
asking for bail pending
appeal. Thread here.
On February 5,
co-defendant David Pike wrote
in for approval to travel to
Cartagena, Colombia, saying
that the AUSA "has no
objection."
