OK - in @Eaze & #Wirecard trial, Day 6, still on the stand is cooperator Oliver Hargreaves, who on Monday named Wirecard, & yesterday named #OneCoin's Gilbert Armenta. Inner City Press has reporting, and will live tweet, thread below patreon.com/posts/48543661
Defense lawyer: You used the code, Medical services 8099, for marijuana?
Hargreaves: We thought it was elegant. A consultant proposed it.
Defense lawyer: In your second day as a cooperator, you told the US, It didn't work with Paynetics, correct?
Hargreaves: Yes.
Akhavan's lawyer: You told the agents, we tried to do marijuana delivery with Ray, right?
Hargreaves: Yes.
Akhavan's lawyer: And you didn't say, false, or misleading, or deceptive?
Hargreaves: No, sir.
Re-direct:
AUSA: Mr. Hargreaves, part of your cooperation with the government was to give full access to your phones and ProtonMail, correct?
Hargreaves: Yes.
AUSA: Let's put up Government Exhibit 3604. Do you remember this, one of the websites your team designed for the @Eaze scheme?
Hargreaves: A fictitious website. Ray and Ruben worked on it.
AUSA: These fraudulent business plans were sent to EUprocessing at ProtonMail dot com - that was Ruben [Weigand], correct?
Hargreaves. Yes.
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 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
The trial's done for day. Story soon on InnerCityPress.com & patreon.com/posts/48486376
Interim update, morning of March 11:
Bank of America witness still on the stand, says BofA does not do marijuana business because illegal under Federal law. We'll have a bigger update on this @Eaze / #Wirecard case, by 8 pm if not before
In @Eaze / #Wirecard case, now questioning turns to Government Exhibit 2410, Bank of America's Enterprise Policy regarding Marijuana Related Businesses...
#BofA
In @Eaze / #Wirecard trial, now a witness is being asked about Government Exhibits 3703, 3704, 3705, "in evidence." So when are we going to get access to these exhibits? We've asked - watch this feed.

Judge Stein: I have a note from the jury, asking if a vote of not guilty on a single count requires unanimity... But I'll do this again when the court reporter is here...
Take 2 / re-do: Judge Stein: Does a non guilty verdict on a single count require unanimity? We'll reply, your vote must be unanimous as to each count and each defendant.
Menendez's lawyer Fee: The note does refer to defendants, only to counts...

OK - final jury instructions in US v Menendez then deliberations begin - Inner City Press wrote the 1st book "Gold Bar Bob 1" (sequel coming) and will live tweet today, including notes - and verdict? - thread below amazon.com/dp/B0D7X51R2D
Judge Stein: The defendant named in Counts 5 and 11 is simply Senator Menendez, no one out. You can go through the verdict sheet in any order you want, it's entirely up to you.
Judge Stein: Giving a gift to a public official to gain good will is not Federal bribery - there has to be a quid pro quo... But, the simple offer of giving can be just as much a crime as the actual giving. The payment need not be directly to the public official

OK - US v. Menendez et al final day of closings, Daibes then jury instructions and deliberations. Inner City Press is covering for sequel to Gold Bar Bob and will live tweet, thread below amazon.com/dp/B0D7X51R2D
Daibes' lawyer de Castro: ... Suarez was endorsed by the Hudson County Prosecutors Association. She was qualified... Bob tapped Sellinger. He didn't check the diversity box, sure. The lunch with Sellinger? It was also about a friend who was the victim of ID theft
Daibes' lawyer de Castro: There is no evidence Senator Menendez knew in advance about the lunch with Paul Sellinger, I mean, Phil, sorry. The government doesn't know what was discussed. They want you to assume, to speculate. There were no texts about substance

OK - now Miles Guo closing argument in SDNY, Inner City Press has been covering the case, for FoxhUNt Guo and will live tweet, thread below
Guo's lawyer: Maybe you're active in politics because you're interested in it, even if others aren't. The way it makes us feel? That's priceless, as MasterCard used to say. You heard Ms. Reyes - she traveled to Europe to see, there were things they could offer
Guo's lawyer: Ms. Reyes scored that Formula 1 opportunity. Pretty cool, right? They bought a Lamborghini. It was bought in G Club's name. It was intended to be leased to G Club members, so they could get that thrill. That's what the records show
