SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Sept 5 -- For money laundering
for scam crypto currency
OneCoin, lawyer Mark Scott was
convicted by a jury after
testimony by Konstantin
Ignatov and others but was
allowed to remain free on bail
pending sentencing.
On December 5,
2022, the related indictment
against Frank Schneider was
unsealed and Inner City Press
immediately uploaded it here.
Now after being released
by the French courts to house
arrest, Schneider is on the
lam.
On April 11,
2023, Judge Ramos heard
argument on, then denied,
Sebastian Greenwood's argument
that non-US losses should be
excluded from his sentencing.
Inner City Press was there and
exclusively live tweeted, here
(vlog here)
On May
2, the US
asked for additional
delay,
letter on
Patreon here.
On May
10, 2023,
Greenwood's counsel
wrote
in, asking for
sentencing
after Labor
Day -
letter on
Patreon here.
On May
15, Greenwood got the
extension,
to September
12.
On
August 29,
Greenwood's
new lawyers
from Patterson
Belknap (and
two already on the case
counsel) filed
a 55-page
sentencing submission,
redacting
even the name
of a case they
cited and
withholding an
undisclosed number
of
exhibits. (They
left in Greenwood's
"MDC
Transcript," now on
Patreon here).
They
ask for
time served. They quote "Karl's
former driver in
Thailand" -
but redact
the quote, and
withhold the
entire
affidavit. This
is
unacceptable --
so Inner
City Press
filed to
unseal. Judge
Ramos to his
credit
docketed it on
August 30, and
said responses are
due September
6.
Inner City Press
published
Greenwood's
redacted memo
on Patreon here.
On
September 5,
the US Attorney's
Office
filed its
memo, asking
for a 30 year
sentence and
including an email
from Greenwood
to Ruja Ignatova in which he
replies that "I will
fight day and
night to
generate a
worldwide
audience who
loves crypto
Queen and
onecoin. You
are for sure a
very special
person and I
could never
dream of
meeting
somebody like
you. We have
our difference
at times,
however have
the same
common
ambition and
goals. We set
the rules
along the way
and do not
take no for an
answer." Email
