SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Feb 10 – An alleged
real estate fraudster was
arraigned on February 10 and
Inner City Press covered
it.
On February 9,
California was the venue for
the arrest of "DEREK JONES on
charges of wire fraud and
aggravated identity
theft. JONES, while
licensed as an attorney in
California, defrauded
investors in businesses JONES
controlled out of at least
approximately $4.5 million.
"The case
has been assigned to U.S.
District Judge Loretta A.
Preska. Arraignment will be
tomorrow before Judge Preska
by
teleconference."
Jones pled not
guilty. The AUSA said the
discovery is not as extensive
as usual in such cases, mostly
bank records, no warrants. A
next conference was set for
April 20.
The case is US v.
Jones, 21-cr-59 (Preska)
