@MatthewLeeICP @sdnylive @FinanceWatchOrg @Svrakata @widell_ari @JamieJBartlett @ezCoinAccess @JenMcAdamUK @saavedra2013 Talks turns to an account in "First Caribbean International Bank" in the British Virgin Islands - Mark Scott's lawyer asks Special Agent, Isn't it true this account was never opened?

He glowers: Isn't there is a similarly named bank in the Cayman Islands?

@MatthewLeeICP @sdnylive @FinanceWatchOrg @Svrakata @widell_ari @JamieJBartlett @ezCoinAccess @JenMcAdamUK @saavedra2013 Q: Alright, we're in March 2016... Mr Scott says, Hi Ruja, Gilbert asked me about the new structure. Is that correct?
A: It appears so.
Q: This tends to show that Mark Scott is keeping Ruja's information confidential from Gilbert Armenta, right?
A: Yes.

@MatthewLeeICP @sdnylive @FinanceWatchOrg @Svrakata @widell_ari @JamieJBartlett @ezCoinAccess @JenMcAdamUK @saavedra2013 Mark Scott's lawyer brings in "Bain Capital, a well-known private equity firm." Mentions Blackstone. "There is nothing wrong with a lawyer doing legal research, right?"
Yesterday they tried to bring in Neil Bush, George W. Bush's brother.

@MatthewLeeICP @sdnylive @FinanceWatchOrg @Svrakata @widell_ari @JamieJBartlett @ezCoinAccess @JenMcAdamUK @saavedra2013 Judge Ramos calls a break. AUSA Folly objects to Scott's lawyer Garvin's cross examination as an attempt to testify.

Judge Ramos calls it appropriate attempt to impeach the timeline. Calls it tedious, "but so was the direct. It is what it is." Thread to continue

@MatthewLeeICP @sdnylive @FinanceWatchOrg @Svrakata @widell_ari @JamieJBartlett @ezCoinAccess @JenMcAdamUK @saavedra2013 During the break, AUSA Dimase takes a cell phone call and says, This is a reporter... Uh, we have a press office.
Yes they do.
Thread(s) will continue.

@MatthewLeeICP @sdnylive @FinanceWatchOrg @Svrakata @widell_ari @JamieJBartlett @ezCoinAccess @JenMcAdamUK @saavedra2013 Now Scott's lawyer asks Special Agent, the closing of the Bank of Ireland accounts on April 30, 2017, that was closed *BY* Mark Scott, right?
Agent: I can't see who closed it.
Q: But you haven't seen any document that tells you it was not Mark Scott, closing it?

@MatthewLeeICP @sdnylive @FinanceWatchOrg @Svrakata @widell_ari @JamieJBartlett @ezCoinAccess @JenMcAdamUK @saavedra2013 Next government witness: BONY Melon's Saint-Victor. He works in lower Manhattan, responsible for Caribbean for 25 years (!)
AUSA Dimase: What are your responsibilities?
Q: I keep existing relationships for the banks in the Caribbean, and sell our products to banks

@MatthewLeeICP @sdnylive @FinanceWatchOrg @Svrakata @widell_ari @JamieJBartlett @ezCoinAccess @JenMcAdamUK @saavedra2013 AUSA Dimase: Mister Saint-Pierre [oops] are you aware of a compliance inquiring into DMS Bank based in Georgetown, Cayman Island?
A: Yes.

@MatthewLeeICP @sdnylive @FinanceWatchOrg @Svrakata @widell_ari @JamieJBartlett @ezCoinAccess @JenMcAdamUK @saavedra2013 With BNY Mellon Saint-Victor still on direct examination, how he could not get answers from DMS Bank in British Virgin Islands about Mark Scott and #OneCoin's business, Judge Ramos declares a break. Seeming unlikely gov't will rest case today. Thread to continue

@MatthewLeeICP @sdnylive @FinanceWatchOrg @Svrakata @widell_ari @JamieJBartlett @ezCoinAccess @JenMcAdamUK @saavedra2013 Now BNY Mellon witness tells AUSA Dimase that when BNY is troubled it tells the correspondent bank to not run a particular company's business "through our accounts." But BONY doesn't tell the correspondent bank's regulators? cc @FederalReserve

@MatthewLeeICP @sdnylive @FinanceWatchOrg @Svrakata @widell_ari @JamieJBartlett @ezCoinAccess @JenMcAdamUK @saavedra2013 @federalreserve Judge Ramos gives jurors an extra minute, letting them go for the weekend at 2:29pm. US didn't rest its case today, as they'd projected. Now they say 3 more witnesses. Scott has a witness from Miami, a David de la Horta or Porta. Story soon patreon.com/posts/31594540
