CRYPTO IN THE COURTS: BitMEX Benjamin Delo is now up for sentencing, after arthur Hayes citing the Jackie Robinson Foundation got 6 months home confinement innercitypress.com/sdny162gkoeltl… Inner City Press will live tweet, thread below
Delo's lawyer: Even home confinement is unnecessary. He is a British citizen, here on a tourist visa. He cooperated with the #CFTC.
Defense: Ben was living in Hong Kong. He gave money to Oxford.
[There are more than a dozen suited persons here in the gallery]
Judge: Didn't he know there were US persons im the platform?
Defense: He didn't encourage it
Defense: His wife Pan Pan will have their child in Hong Kong.
[Wag: Shades of Theranos' Elizabeth Holmes, pre-trial]
Delo: This case hurts my philanthropy.
AUSA: Yes most messages we used were from Mr Hayes. But many were to Mr Delo. He knew.
Judge: Guideline is 6 to 12 months. The US chose not to go for money laundering or fraud. The co-defenfant [Hayes], I sentenced to 6 months home confinement. But Delo has lived in Bermuda. So I sentence Delo to 30 months probation, no home confinement. Story soon

CIA' Leonis: Josh told me he was going to fight back. It caught me off guard. He was going to put up a fight about a management decision. That's not the way people talk in a professional environment.
AUSA: Did you ever retaliate against him?
Leonis: No.
AUSA: Mr. Schulte wrote he has incurred the wrath of his supervisor Karen. How was Karen?
CIA's Leonis: Karen cared so much about people. She'd walk the halls and ask you about your family... We asked Josh and Amol to go to the Employee Assistance Program

Samsel: I was in the Einstein Medical I.C.U. for 11 days

OK - now US v. Joshua Schulte, Day 2. FBI Agent Evancech still the witness, awaiting Schulte's pro se cross examination. Inner City Press is covering the trial (filings leagle.com/decision/infdc… & more patreon.com/posts/67792346) and will live tweet, thread below
Trial day was to have started at 9 am. But stand by counsel just said, I need to speak with Mr. Schulte, he still hasn't seen the 3500 material you just gave us.
That is, new discovery provided on the morning of Day 2. Judge Furman not yet on the bench.
More issues raised before judge or jury come in: Schulte would like a longer (45 minutes) lunch break so he can stay in the courtroom and review documents with stand by counsel. Also, he might get a 2d computer, from Federal Defenders.
