SDNY COURTHOUSE,
May 3 –
Suresh
Munshani was
on trial for
keeping money
given to him
by his brother
Suni Munshani
who has
pleaded guilty
to stealing
from his
employer,
Protegrity USA
Inc.
Inner City
Press covered
the
case.
On February
13, 2023 U.S.
District Court
for the
Southern
District of
New York Judge
Jed S. Rakoff
presided over
closing
arguments.
Inner City
Press went and
covered
it.
The
Assistant US
Attorney said
Sunesh kept
easy money for
doing no work,
that he must
have known it
was stolen
money.
The
lead defense
counsel, with
many notes
passed up from
the defense
table, said
the case was
only
circumstantial.
The
rebuttal
summation
began, with a
crowd gathered
outside the
courtroom for
unrelated
proceeding.
February 14
saw the legal
instructions,
and the
verdict: "a
jury returned
a guilty
verdict today
against SURESH
MUNSHANI on
charges of
conspiracy to
commit wire
fraud and
conspiracy to
commit money
laundering.
MUNSHANI is
scheduled to
be sentenced
on May 10,
2023, by U.S.
District Judge
Jed S. Rakoff,
who presided
over the
one-week
trial."
On
May 3, the US
asked for a
sentence of 30
months, less
than the
guideline of
57 to 71
months, but
more than
Probation's
recommendation
of a year and
a day.
Before
the May 10
sentencing,
this one from
April 7,
announced by
SDNY on April
10: "SUNI
MUNSHANI, the
former Chief
Executive
Officer of a
Connecticut-based
technology
company (the
“Victim
Company”), was
sentenced to
42 months in
prison for his
participation
in a scheme to
defraud the
Victim Company
of millions of
dollars."
The
case is US v.
Munshani,
22-cr-215
(Rakoff)
