#Iran-ian banker Hasheminejad is before Judge Nathan here in #SDNY. Steptoe wants to stay in despite JPMC conflict - thread

First step: upcoming Curcio hearing. Steptoe does not want #JPMorgan to have to waive conflict. Formally objects. @SDNYLIVE

Judge Nathan asks for Hasheminejad trial date. His lawyer says he had a trial next year that's tragically canceled. #Epstein

Hasheminejad's other lawyer also has a time conflict. He represents Huawei. Quite a trio here: Iran banker, Epstein, Huawei

Who else might this dynamic duo represent, to replace #Epstein? CEFC China's @AntonioGuterres? #crowdsourcing @SDNYLIVE

Judge Nathan proposes Curcio hearing on lawyers' conflict in 2 weeks, says earliest possible Hasheminejad trial is Jan 2020

Note: #Bronx defendants in #SDNY don't get this kind of treatment. Hasheminejad is not in custody, trial date pushed back

Curcio hearing is set for Sept 9 at 10 am; Weinberg's Steptoe's represents #JPMorgan which is involved in Hasheminejad scam

Hasheminejad wants his non-pertinent seized e-mails back. AUSA Denton says they are not searching them for new documents

Judge Nathan says January trial may not be possible. Status conference is over. InnerCityPress.com story soon
