DOJ Drops Case Against Brian Benjamin After Cert Denied and Plea Scoop on Co-defendant

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon

SDNY / Mag Exclusive, Jan 17 – Gerald Migdol, a lawyer who develops real estate in Harlem, was arrested early on November 19, 2021. Inner City Press covered his arraignment and when he was freed on $250,000 bond.

On April 12 , 2022 the other shoe dropped when New York State Lt. Gov. Brian Benjamin was indicted. Now on January 17, 2025, DOJ has dropped its case against him.

  Back on April 14, the day before a scheduled proceeding in the Migdol case, sources told Inner City Press that Migdol had appeared in Magistrates Court - presumably to cooperate / plead guilty. Inner City Press tweeted and reported it. On April 15, at the time of his proceeding, it was "adjourned sine die." See here.

 It was US v. Migdol, et al., 21-cr-706 (Oetken / Wang)
