SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Feb 18 – Yongchao Liu is
accused in a multi-defendant
money laundering and wire
fraud case. But his lawyer has
a conflict.
On February 18
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Analisa Torres held a
Curcio hearing. Inner City
Press covered it.
Judge Torres told
Lui she has been a state and
Federal judge for more than
twenty years and advises
against keeping a conflicted
lawyer. But Liu said he was
aware of the conflict and
waived it.
The next status
conference is on Tax Day,
April 15.
The case is USA
v. Wedd et al., 15-cr-616
(Torres)
