SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 7 –
Robert Jeffrey Johnson and
Kathleen Hook are charged with
wire fraud conspiracy in
connection with a precious
metals leasing program known
as the "Silver Lease Company."
They are represented by the
same law
firm.
On February 24, U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge
Edgardo Ramos held a Curcio
hearing. Inner City Press
covered it.
Johnson
but not Hook is charged with
defrauding insurance companies
. The US
Attorney's Office submitted a
list of proposed questions for
each defendant.
On March
7, the questions were posed in
a proceeding that Inner City
Press also covered, as to
whether Howard Srebnick (who
represented Michael Avenatti
for a time in the Nike trial)
and his law partner Alyssa
Silvaggi could represented
both defendants.
The case is
US v. Johnson, et al.,
21-cr-428 (Ramos)
