Exclusive, May 2 – Joshua
Henner's
arrest on
federal wire
fraud and ID
theft charged
was announced
on July 6,
2023. Then the
prosecutors
agreed to his
release on
$100,000 bond,
getting only
one
financially-responsible
co-signer
rather than
the two they
sought. Inner
City Press was
there, thread
here
and below.
The Southern
District of
New York
prosecutors
announced "the
unsealing of a
two-count
Indictment
charging
JOSHUA HENNER
with wire
fraud and
aggravated
identity
theft.
As alleged in
the
Indictment,
HENNER,
through false
statements and
representations,
convinced
victims to
loan him at
least $1.6
million for
the purpose of
investing in a
start-up,
while, in
reality,
misappropriating
those funds
for his own
purposes.
HENNER was
arrested this
morning and
will be
presented in
Manhattan
federal court
later today
before U.S.
Magistrate
Judge Jennifer
E.
Willis."
Inner City
Press was

Koeltl. Inner
City Press was
there, one of
three people
in the
courtroom
gallery. Thread:

Henner hearing

AUSA:
he told his
victims he was
an angel
investor.
AUSA:
Henner
pretended to
be with a law
firm -

one?
AUSA
(after a pause
- law firm is
not identified

and therefore
