Storm's lawyer: Let's look at what you introduced as your summary, Ms. Reyes - this is all withdrawals for 2021, is that right?
FBI Reyes: Yes.
Storm's lawyer: Why doesn't this pie chart add up to 100%?
FBI Reyes: I would have to review my spreadsheet.
Storm's lawyer: So you don't know.
FBI Reyes: I have to review my spreadsheet.
Storm's lawyer: So you can't do it off the top of your head
Reyes: I cannot
Judge Liman: Mr. Gottlieb?
Lively's lawyer Gottlieb: Thanks for setting this on an emergency basis. Ms. Lively should only sit for on deposition, seven hours. At 10:30 am this morning your Honor granted motions to dismiss, for Wallace- now they offer us 3 options
Lively's lawyer Gottlieb: With Jed Wallace and Street Relations being dismissed without prejudice, they asked to attend ad participate at tomorrow's deposition. We want an order that tomorrow will be the only deposition, or that it be rescheduled.
Judge Failla: We will be liking to start the trial day on time. Mr. Rehn, you may proceed.
AUSA Rehn: Yesterday I was asking you about these wire transfers. Who else is on your bank account?
Ms. Lin: My husband. I also asked others to invest
AUSA Rehn: Was the last deposit in November 2021?
Ms. Lin: Yes.
AUSA Rehn: What happened a week after your last deposit?
Ms. Lin: He instructed me to make another trade - then everything went down to nil, to negative. Then in Feb 2022 the website disappeared
Judge Failla: The burden of proof never shifts to Mr. Storm - he is presumed innocent. First the government, and then Mr. Storm, will present their opening statements. As jurors, you must not talk to each other about this case until you deliberate at the end
Judge Failla: Mr. Mosley?
Assistant US Attorney Kevin Mosley: In the fall of 2021 a woman got scammed out of $250,000. Hackers broke into the computer of a company here in NYC. Then North Korea stole $600 million from a gaming company: all through Tornado Cash
