OK - Insider trading indictee (and former Congressman) Buyer is set to be arraigned at 1 pm @sdnylive - Inner City Press wrote about the indictment (& underlying merger) innercitypress.com/sdny1mnpitmobi… and is heading to the courtroom - thread below Image
Judge Berman: The indictment alleges the defendant breached his duty to #TMobile, bought Sprint stock before the merger announcement. Also, Guidehouse - Navigant. Should I read it?
Counsel: First, it's "Boo-yay," French pronunciation.
Buyer: I plead not guilty.
Judge Berman: Agree on a discovery schedule to propose.
[Parties confer, in the well of the courtroom. Then Buyer's lawyer Schwartz takes proposal back to him.]
AUSA: We have 15 warrants and 76,000 documents. We are using a vendor. We request 30 days.
Buyer's lawyer: We want to see the search warrant applications. And any post-arrest statements.
AUSA: There were some spontaneous statements.
Judge: Aug 31 at 11 am, next conference.
Schwartz: We've made several presentations to the government. He was in Congress
AUSA: He did this twice, and he tried to cover it up. He sent a Signal message to see his source right away.
Buyer's lawyer: We can prove he did research.
Judge Berman: I going to require a $250,000 bond and limit travel to the continental US.
Buyer's lawyer: His wife is here today and can co-sign. Adjourned.
[Inner City Press ran down to the 5th floor and sure enough, Mrs Buyer was there, to sign the bond as a financially responsible person - or moral suasion?]
