SDNY COURTHOUSE,
April 21 – Gaya Gayatrinath is
living under Federal
supervised release on Staten
Island, under at 2002 case in
the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York.
He was
philosophic in a telephone
conference with his probation
officer and SDNY Judge Richard
M. Berman on April 21, covered
by Inner City Press.
He said he
is a contemplative stage,
appreciative of the
possibilities to get
permission to travel to
Maryland, to visit his
grandchildren.
His
probation officer - from the
EDNY since Gayatrinath lives
on Staten Island - said he is
in the low intensity unit,
that he lives a routine live
on his Social Security check
20% of which goes for
restitution for the underlying
(global) fraud.
Judge Berman
congratulated him, noting how
the COVID-19 pandemic showed
that "from one day to the next
everything can be turned
upside down" and that
Gayatrinath was ahead of most
in accepting that. Your
trajectory, he said, must be
of value to you.
The possibilty of cutting a
year off his supervision, if
things continue well, was
discussed. A next call was set
up for September, "by
telephone under we are back in
the courtroom," Judge Berman
said. The case is US v.
Gayatrinath, 02-cr-673
(Berman).
