SDNY EXCLUSIVE,
Jan 16 – Urologist
Darius Paduch
was arrested
and arraigned
on April 11,
2023. Inner
City Press was
there.
On April 19
Paduch's
counsel submitted
a letter to
Magistrate
Judge Jennifer
E. Willis
for release on
bail. A
proposed
co-signer, now
at issue, "met Paduch's
cousin
Jadwiga
Wojcik,
employed at
Greene, Tweed
& Company.
But he
was denied.
On
December 21,
Paduch's
counsel
wrote in that
the AUSA
Attorney's
Office
conveyed to
him that "JR"
wanted his
name redacted.
Inner
City Press had
already
published it.
On
December 22
Judge Ronnie
Abrams temporarily
redacted the
entirety of
the paragraph,
at least until
January 5, while
noting Judge
Kaplan's granting
of Inner City
Press'
application to
unseal SBF's suretors.
In US v.
Paduch,
on January 2
Inner City
Press filed
opposition, docketed
on January 3
(and now on
our

here
On
January 5,
notably,
Paduch's
lawyer wrote
in to say "we
see no need to
keep the
information
public...we
agreed to
redaction." It is
DOJ seeking to
redact the
name of a
predator's
proposed suretor, worse
than when it
"took no
position" in
SBF and Sebastian
Greenwood.
On
January 16,
Judge Abrams
denied
sealing,
stating among
other things "Not
only has at
least one news
outlet
reported on
the
co-signer’s
name, as well
as that he met
Defendant as a
patient, but
an unredacted
picture of the
requested
redaction is
also publicly
available. 1
As noted by
the Second
Circuit, once
“[t]he genie
is out of the
bottle,”
courts do “not
[have] the
means to put
the genie
back.” Gambale

Bank AG, 377
F.3d 133, 144
