SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Dec 1 – Adam Rogas was
arraigned on October 15 on
charges of securities fraud in
connection with the
cyber-fraud prevention firm he
headed, NS8.
U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge John P. Cronan held the
arraignment. Inner City Press
covered the proceeding, the
first it had covered by Judge
Cronan, a former acting United
States Assistant Attorney
General for the United States
Department of Justice Criminal
Division.
That issue
quickly arose. Judge Cronan
told the parties that he had
not worked on Rogas' case
while at DOJ in Washington,
but gave them two weeks to
make any motion they see fit.
He inquired
into the status of discovery,
and if there might be a
superseding indictment (as
arose elsewhere in the SDNY on
October 15, in the crypto
currency prosecution of
Reginand Fowler).
On
December 1 Judge Cronan held
another proceeding with Rogas.
This time, Judge Cronan was
wearing a mask, saying that
this is required in the SDNY
courthouse now and apologizing
if he couldn't be heard as
clearly. Whether the
indictment will expand is
still not clear; victims are
being assessed.
The case is US v.
Rogas, 20-cr-539 (Cronan)
