SDNY COURTHOUSE,
April 16 – James Moore
is incarcerated for his role
in defrauding investors in
"Bar Works [which] purported
to be a company that adapted
former restaurant, bar
premises and other locations
into co-working spaced with
'workspaces' for rent to the
public in exchange for a
membership fee."
By
February 2020, Moore's lawyer
Michael Grudberg was telling
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Richard M. Berman that
he had reached out to Moore on
CorrLinks to get a waiver of
appearance.
Judge
Berman asked, "What is
CorrLinks?"
Grudberg replied that "it is
not a privileged email system
for purposes of counsel, but
it's a relatively 24-hour
communications system."
Inner City
Press can attest to this,
receiving CorrLinks emails
about the worsening conditions
in the prisons at all
hours.
Judge
Berman said, "CorrLinks, first
I'm hearing it, actually...
Long time, years?
Grudberg replied,
I would say about a decade,
your Honor.. I use it as a
stopgap.
Jump-cut to April 16, and
there was better news, the
transfer of Moore to FMC
Butner. This time he missed
the conference because he was
on the plane. It was a good
outcome, although not one
obtained by many lower income
detainees. We'll have more on
this. This case is US v.
Moore, 18-cr-759
(Berman).
