It begins: wind and light snow over Chinatown and the courts in lower Manhattan, Dec 16 at 3 pm
Light accumulation in playground between the courts, 4:15 pm
Basketball courts by courthouses now covered in snow, 5:15 pm...
Worth Street in lower Manhattan is white with snow and the flags are whipping in the wind
Silence by the court, 7:30 pm and no traffic (or Citibank) - but subways still running. Criminal cases just don't stop: innercitypress.com/sdny9bdanielsm…
Yes, here in NYC Citibike shut off access to bikes at 7 pm - but as of 8:10 pm for those with (more) money, Uber still stopping on Worth Street
And now, the day after. No one is playing basketball on these courts near the courts. Then again, the gates are locked, as they were for weeks earlier this year during the COVID "Pause." And then next one?
Snow storm in lower Manhattan, 2 Days After: Now there are footsteps on the basketball courts, although the gates around it are still locked. Hoping to launch live tweets of #OneCoin / Sebastian Greenwood proceeding in 5 minutes, if it happens

OK - in #OneCoin case, now proceeding of Sebastian Greenwood before @sdnylive Judge Ramos. Inner City Press covered the Mark Scott trial and will live tweet - thread ImageImageImageImage
AUSA: We have requested a stay, to try to work out a disposition.
Greenwood's lawyer: Correct. Plus, we're going through a lot of discovery material. Meeting my client is difficult, given the circumstances. I don't know how the jail permits who gets visits
Greenwood's lawyer Barket: I had a few visit, then they stopped. I have three or four other clients in the facility and I can't meet any of them. We speak on the phone - once - and setting up the video conferencing has been difficult. It was easier in the summer
