Jan 12 – A man convicted of

then hit with a sealed
indictment in 2020, was
presented on Friday in Federal
court in Manhattan after
extradition from Singapore.
Inner City Press was the only

exclusive courtroom
story.
Shamoon
Rafiq is charged with setting
up a fake website and
"soliciting millions of
dollars from investment firms
in New York and elsewhere"
claiming he had pre-IPO stock.

and aggravated identity
