SDNY COURTHOUSE,
April 8 – Joel Lingat is
charged with conspiracy to
defraud the IRS. His lawyer is
opposing signing a protective
order.
On September 23 U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Mary Kay Vyskocil held a
proceeding. Inner City Press
covered it.
The
Assistant US Attorney
described e-mails obtained
from Lingat's employers.
Judge
Vyskocil asked the defense
about it concerns about the
protective order.
The answer was,
they'd like to show some of
the discovery to possible
witnesses, and should have to
tell the government which
exhibits they want to show
that way.
Jump cut to March
11, 2024 - with the trial
looming on April 2, Judge
Vyskocil ruled on the
Government's motions in
limine, noting the scheme to
not pay payroll taxes at
Moshe's Moving. The trial,
she's ruled, is to end by
April 12.
On March 26,
Lingat's counsel wrote in
stating that the 3500 material
provided did not show that
Marylou Palau, Cherry Maglaqui
and others were, in fact,
co-conspirators.
On April 1, Inner
City Press checked in on the
final pre-trial conference.
The defense complained about
wifi, and were told they
cannot sit next to the
swinging gate the jurors will
come in through.
On April 8, on
the witness stand was a man
who as a manager had been
ordered to stamp checks, after
having run a company that
delivered boxes for moving
jobs. He said while he had
concerns about stamping the
checks, he did it from fear of
being fired.
The case is US v.
Lingat, 21-cr-573
