Courtroom
exclusive, 1st reported here:
this COVID-19 fraud plea
agreement is for a sentencing
guideline of 33 to 41 months
Tatiana Daniel's
hair is deep purple. At first
this morning she said she was
NOT prepared to plead guilty.
144 nights of stolen hotel
rooms, with co-defendant
working in the City's program
Tatiana Daniel
falsely collected unemployment
using 10 people's Social
Security numbers.
Cell phone had
fake COVID results; she got
fraudulent PPP loans from the
SBA - for her "illegal
bootlegging operation."
Defense
lawyer Ezra Spilke confers
with AUSA Neff. Seems there's
a problem with the plea
agreement...
AUSA Neff:
She is admitting overt act of
selling fabricated COVID
results on 7/20/21 and
8/2/21.
Spilke: Her
spouse Tiana is here. (Only us
3 in gallery - the third
apparently a colleague of
Spilke).
Judge Kaplan will
sentence on March 29, 2023 at
2:30 pm. Inner City Press will
stay on the case(s).
The case is US v.
Daniel, 21-cr-729 (Kaplan)
