SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Oct 8 – Benzion Zirkind tried
to plead guilty to money
laundering charges on October
8.
The plea was not
accepted.
U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Denise L. Cote held the
change of plea proceeding.
Inner City Press covered
it.
Judge Cote
asked Zirkind what he had
done.
He would not
admit to knowing that the cash
he was sending to Canada was
from drugs. He said he thought
the purpose was to avoid bank
fees.
Judge Cote had
Zirkind confer with his
lawyer, but it still didn't
work. Judge Cote said they
should talk more about it, or
the matter will be set down
for trial.
The case is US v.
Zirkind, 19-cr-463 (Cote)
