SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 3 –
In October 2019 Francisco Jose
Maria or "El Pollito" was
charged with selling stolen
U.S. Treasury Checks and
having co-conspirators deposit
them in FDIC-insured
banks.
In December
2019 it grew into an
indictment, also naming Luis
Vasquez-Eusebio and assigned
to U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Paul G.
Gardephe.
On February
13, 2020 while Judge Gardephe
was both overseeing jury
deliberations in the case
against Michael Avenatti for
allegedly extorting Nike, and
giving a "time served"
sentence to a bank fraud
convict now living in
Pennsylvania, another
defendant in the US v. Maria
or El Pollito case was
presented in SDNY Magistrates
Court.
SDNY Magistrate
Judge Robert W. Lehrburger
agreed to the proposal of
Assistant US Attorney
Elizabeth A. Espinosa to
release Rubio on $50,000 bond,
the same day, with one
financially responsible person
to return to co-sign the bond
within one week. The
case is US v. Maria, et al.,
19-cr-868 (Gardephe /
Lehrburger).
