COURTHOUSE,
Nov 30 – Michael Castillero
was arrested at 7 am on
November 30 and presented in
the afternoon before U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrate Judge Sarah L.
Cave. Inner City Press was
there, the only media in the
SDNY Mag Court.
Castillero had a retained
lawyer, but making only a
limited appearance until terms
are agreed, he said.
DOJ had
announced "the unsealing of an
Indictment charging MICHAEL
CASTILLERO, a/k/a Michael
Alejandro, FRANCINE LANAIA,
and BRIAN MARTINSEN with
conspiracy, securities fraud,
wire fraud, and investment
adviser fraud in connection
with their management of
StraightPath Venture Partners
LLC... CASTILLERO and
MARTINSEN are also charged
with conspiracy to obstruct
justice and obstruction of
justice in connection with
their deletion of records that
had been subpoenaed by the
SEC."
On November
30 Castillero was said to
drive workers to landscaping
jobs, and to have an expire
Panama passport, and licensed
guns. The latter two have to
be turned in; he was released
on $250,000 unsecured bond.
There is no conference for him
until May 22, 2024.
The case is US v.
Castillero, et al., 23-cr-622
