LITERARY SDNY,
Sept 28 – When the Trevor
Milton trial resumed after
four days off, two of them for
the Jewish holidays, Nikolo
CFO Kim Brady was still on the
stand.
Kurt was
there in Courtroom 318,
sitting behind Team Trevor,
watching as one of his lawyers
Ken Caruso passed yellow
post-it notes to another
younger man in the gallery,
typing on a
laptop.
There were other lawyers
sitting in what had been the
extended COVID jury box. In
the plastic box counsel had
used to have to question from,
the computer monitor showed
the not-admitted exhibits that
were ostensibly "for the
witness only." Kurt was
witnessing it.
Yes,
Brady has signed purchase
orders. But he hastened to
say, or try to stay before
Mukasey cut him off with a yes
or no option, that as CFO he
had to pay whatever the
executive chairman told him
to. It didn't mean he agreed
with it.
But had
Brady said anything, about
what he now said was fraud?
Maybe to others, but never to
Trevor Milton. Was Trevor
Milton the one who had been
lulled?
Mukasey was hammering
away at Brady, who had likened
retail investors to "the
Average Joe." Mukasey asked,
You think they're too stupid
to read SEC filings, right?
The AUSA objected, and Judge
Ramos sustained. But the point
was made.
When they
took a break with the jury out
of the courtroom, Judge Ramos
asked, Anything you need to
argue before me?
"I'm spent," Mukasey said. Yet
some pointed out that Brady
was still standing, or flying.
It was like boxing. Would
there be another round?
Next
up was the Utah land seller,
whose son had illegal recorded
his father's call with Trevor
and the broker. He got
immunity for that, in exchange
for turning over the audio
file. More on Patreon here.
