COURTHOUSE,
June 2 – Gina Guy is charged
with wire fraud and money
laundering as part of romance
scams of the elderly. On June
25 she was presented before
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrate Judge Robyn F.
Tarnofsky. Inner City Press
was there, the only media in
the SDNY Mag Court.
Before Guy was brought out by
the U.S. Marshals, a Federal
Defender on her behalf
discussed a bail package with
two prosecutors. Guy indicated
that she will be retaining her
own counsel; FD was only for
presentment.
When she
was brought out, she was
quickly released on her own
signature on a $250,000 bond,
with one
financially-responsible
co-signer due in a week. The
prosecutors asked for no
contact with witnesses or
victims but were told only if
they gave the names. They did
not.
On January 22,
2025 Gina Guy and Rosanna Lisa
Stanley were indicted on four
counts; the case was wheeled
out to District Judge John G.
Koeltl.
On February 5
Inner City Press went to the
arraignments. There was only
one: Gina Guy was present and
pled not guilty. Stanley is in
a hospital; a letter is due on
February 14. The next
conference is June 25 at 2:30
pm, to allow Guy's counsel to
fly in and out the same day.
On February 14
the two defendants filed a
motion for a bill of
particulars: the names of
"allegedly elderly victims"
and the representations made.
On May 28 the US
Attorney's Office wrote in to
oppose loosening Guy's
conditions, arguing that she
sought to contact one of her
victims after her arrest.
On May 30, Guy's
lawyer wrote in again, noting
that on May 19, 2025 Ms. Guy
began working as a secretary
at a commercial roofing
contractor in Lyndhurst, NJ.
Docketed on June
2, Judge Koeltl approved the
loosening of conditions:
"ORDER as to Gina Guy: the
defendant's application is
granted. The condition of home
detention for pretrial release
is changed to a condition of a
curfew from 7:00 p.m. to 7:00
a.m. enforced by location
monitoring as directed by
Pretrial Services. SO
ORDERED."
The case is now
USA v. Guy, et al., 1:25-cr-29
