SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Dec 8 – More than a
year ago a hacker pleaded
guilty and was to be sentenced
on December 3. But due to
technological problems,
ironically, it had been
postponed.
Back on
September 23, 2019 then- U.S.
Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman
said: “Andrei Tyurin’s
extensive hacking campaign
targeted major financial
institutions, brokerage firms,
news agencies, and other
companies. Ultimately,
he gathered the customer data
of more than 80 million
victims, one of the largest
thefts of U.S. customer data
from a single financial
institution in history.
With today’s plea, Tyurin’s
global reign of computer
intrusion is over and he faces
significant time in a U.S.
prison for his
crimes.”
So on
December 3, 2020 Tyurin with a
Russian interpreter was ready
to be sentenced.
But the CourtCall
platform was deemed not to
work well.
Inner City Press
had called in; there was
discussion of shifting the
sentencing to AT&T,
audio-only. But it had to be
put over.
Now on December
8, it has been put back on for
January 7: "ORDER as to Andrei
Tyurin: The Court has
requested that Defendant's
continued sentencing
proceeding take place via
videoconference on the morning
of January 7, 2021, at 9:00
a.m. No conference date, time
or modality can be confirmed
before the end of the
preceding week, so counsel are
requested to keep their
calendars open between the
hours of 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. on
January 7, 2021, until further
notice. SO ORDERED.
(Sentencing set for 1/7/2021
at 09:00 AM before Judge Laura
Taylor Swain) (Signed by Judge
Laura Taylor Swain on
12/8/2020)."
It was said
in 2019, "TYURIN is charged
with committing these crimes
with Gery Shalon, a/k/a “Garri
Shalelashvili,” a/k/a
“Gabriel,” a/k/a “Gabi,” a/k/a
“Phillipe Mousset,” a/k/a
“Christopher Engeham”; Joshua
Samuel Aaron, a/k/a “Mike
Shields”; and Ziv Orenstein,
a/k/a “Aviv Stein,” a/k/a
“John Avery,” in furtherance
of securities market
manipulation, illegal online
gambling, and payment
processing fraud scheme.
Inner City
Press will continue to cover
this case.
It is US v.
Shalon et al, 15-cr-333
