SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 12 –
A
married couple
who live in
Staten Island
but use
storefronts in
Brooklyn to
transmit or
launder
crime-related
money to China
were arrested
in April 2022
and both
released on
$100,000
unsecured bond
in the
Magistrates
Court of the
U.S. District
Court for the
Southern
District of
New York,
covered by
Inner City
Press.
Then
came eight
"orders to
continue in
the interest
of justice" in
a row.
On
January 12,
2023, the two
defendants
waived
indictment and
a criminal
information
was filed and
assigned to
new SDNY
District Judge
Jennifer H.
Rearden.
Judge
Rearden held a
proceeding,
with a
Mandarin
interpreter.
The
defendants,
Tibin Tan and
Jin Lian Chen,
pled not
guilty. Judge
Rearden said
discovery is
to be produced
within 25 days
on a rolling
basis. Motions
are due August
22, and trial
is set for
October 24.
The
case is US v.
Tan, et al.,
23-cr-15
(Rearden)
