#Breaking: In #Wirecard / @Eaze trial of US v. Weigand, cooperator Oliver Hargreaves just admitted that his boss Gary Murphy was working with... Gilbert Amenta, on whom Inner City Press has exclusively reported in connection with #OneCoin. patreon.com/posts/46757731
Defense lawyer: You knew Armenta's money was illegal, correct?
Hargreaves: Yes.
Defense: And you knew about OneCoin, correct?
Hargreaves: Yes.
Defense: And a connection between Gary Murphy and Armenta, right?
Hargreaves: Yes.
Defense lawyer: And you knew OneCoin was a Ponzi, right?
AUSA: Objection [!]
Judge Rakoff: It's his opinion.
Hargreaves: Yes. OneCoin was a crypto currency fraud.
Defense lawyer: You were getting involved with Armenta to get involved in laundering illegal gambling money, right?
Hargreaves: I wanted to do well for my company.
Defense lawyer: Armenta had a bank in Georgia, right?
Hargreaves: Yes, I think so.
In #Wirecard / @Eaze trial, the jury has just returned from the break. Judge Rakoff jokes that his law clerks fought hard to get them priority lunch service from the Court cafeteria over "the other one." Seems that means the other jury in the #NarcosHonduras case
Weigand's lawyer, to cooperator Hargreaves: So you were allowed to go back to Barcelona. And you had plans to go to Belgrade?
Hargreaves: Correct.
[Lunch-gate confirmed: in the other trial, it's been said, "There's a problem with the lunches."]

Note: Now a day later, DDC Judge Friedrich has just ordered Calhoun freed based on lack of history of violence, and ties to community. #insurrectionBlues
Calhoun proceeding not over - the proposed Internet monitoring, it seems, would intrude on attorney client privilege. So they are asking Calhoun to agree not to use social media at all, even the read the news.
Calhoun: YouTube is not social media, there's how-to
Calhoun: I think Steve Bannon's channel is on YouTube, and Rumble. Is that social media or news?
They have arrived at a "no posting" condition, saying it could be re-visited.

OK - the Honduras narco-trafficking trial of US v. Geovanny Fuentes Ramirez is beginning. Inner City Press has reported all of the run-up, including CC-4/JOH, has repeatedly asked the UN about SG @AntonioGuterres' support of JOH, & will live tweet, thread below
Judge Castel has taken the bench, says to bring the jurors. Geovanny Fuentes is sitting at the defense table, with two U.S. Marshals citing six feet behind him. The prosecutors are the table in front, closest to the judge.
Judge Castel says the open arguments will begin in approximately 15 minutes. It is slower than usual, moving jurors around the courthouse given Covid protocols. There is a plexiglass booth for which ever lawyer is questioning, and another box for the witness.
