SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 4 – Eighteen
defendants were charged with
cashing stolen money orders in
The Bronx, Manhattan,
Brooklyn, Queens, New Jersey
and Arkansas.
On November 30,
2020 U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Judge J. Paul Oetken held
a proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
The US
Attorney's Office said they
are trying to crack the cell
phones of the defendants, but
that the Apple phones are
hardest and have been pushed
to the back of the cue.
Judge Oetken said
he were willing to sign an
order for a discovery
coordinator for these 18
defendants, some with a/k/a
nicknames and some not.
Jump cut to
January 2023. On January 3,
Ahmad Akbar pled guilty, with
in his plea agreement a
guideline sentence of 24 to 30
months. The plea was taken by
Magistrate Judge Sarah
Netburn, and on January 4
forwarded to Judge Oetken.
The case is US v.
Akbar, et al., 20-cr-563
(Oetken)
