OK - now at sentencing of Michael Anderson in Yoga to the People case. AUSA says he was the "functional CFO" - asking for prison but less than 46 months. Inner City Press will live tweet, thread below
AUSA: He was the son of a CPA. He fabricated documents, a mortgage application.
Defense: He lives in the Northwest - Canada doesn't allow you in if you have even a drunk driving change. He had planned to travel to Japan. I think some encouragement is appropriate
Anderson: It's been a long road (pause). I'm sorry.
Judge: The guideline starts at 46 months. The defense requests probation. Probation recommends 30 months. The Government recommends below 46 to 57 months. Over 8 years he committed fraud

[Programming note: the listed public access number for Cook v. Trump, after saying "Welcome to a Cisco meeting" & entering call ID - immediately hangs up. Or once said, "The meeting is over." They should have put audio on YouTube like DC Circuit. Will keep trying Image
