Next witness in US v. Weigand / Eaze / Wirecard was long at Citibank, now at Bank of America, in "payments innovation." Not much time for questions - Judge Rakoff has another proceeding at 4 pm (which Inner City Press will also be covering.)
The BofA official says, "In the US, we do not do any kind of business with marijuana related businesses."
Gov't offers exhibits 2410, 2411.
Judge Rakoff: You may step down.

Judge Rakoff: You may step down.
Judge Rakoff suggests to government they trim their case by a day. Then defense urges that an agent witness tomorrow be trimmed, as not having personal knowledge of the documents.
Judge Rakoff: If you're not contesting authenticity, the janitor would get them in
