OK - now detention hearing in United Arab Emirates lobbying prosecution of Matthew Grimes - Judge cites EDNY detention memo. Inner City Press will live tweet, thread below documentcloud.org/documents/2101…
AUSA: This may be a bailable case at some point, but not now. The relationship between the foreign government and our government was at the highest level, on both sides. Grimes is a flight risk; a government would benefit from his flight.
AUSA: After an FBI interview in 2018 in Los Angeles, the co-defendant fled the US and has not returned.

REASONABLE DOUBT REDUX: Now Damon Dash has gotten emergency hearing seeking to stop Roc-A-Fella Records from holding a board meeting today at 5 pm. It's about selling the rights to Jay-Z's debut album as an NFT. Inner City Press will live tweet, thread below
Judge Cronan: Are you seeking a Preliminary Injunction as well as a Temporary Restraining Order?
Dash's lawyer: Our papers speak to both. But TRO for now. There's a meeting set for 5 pm, the stated purpose is to adopt bylaws to restrict transfer of shares...
Dash's lawyer: The restriction, we contend, would violate New York law. Only Mr. Dash as the initial and sole director --
