SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 9 -- In what was called
a racehorse doping take-down,
the US Attorney for the
Southern District of New York
on the morning of March 9
announced more than a dozen
arrests.
Inner City Press
went to cover the presentments
in the SDNY Magistrates Courts
and personally witnessed 11 of
them, all given bail packages
and released: " Defendants up
now, arrested 4-5 am in race
horse drug adulteration
conspiracy case: Alexander
Chan (Federal Defender),
Christopher Marino, Henry
Argueta, Kristian Rhein
(retained, R), Michael
Tannuzzo, Nicholas Surick (R),
Rebecca Linke and Ross Cohen
(R)."
Two masterminds
were not presented, at least
in New York - apparently, they
were presented in Federal
court in Florida.
Most defendants
got released the same day by
signing a $100,000 bond, in
some cases $40,000 or $50,000.
They were told
not to communicate with
co-defendants, or to be in the
presence of racehorses without
their owners, or the owners of
the premises they are stabled
in. Here
was Inner City Press' live
tweeted thread.
But what of
Amr Abdelaziz of Phoenix
Thoroughbreds, who used horses
to launder money from OneCoin
about which the SDNY
prosecutors were so concerned
until, like with the UN, they
weren't? Watch this site.
