SDNY COURTHOUSE,
April 1 – Farouk Appiedu and
three others were indicted for
wire fraud and money
laundering, ranging from The
Bronx to Ghana.
On
April 1, U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Judge Jed S. Rakoff
held an arraignment, or rather
four. Inner City Press covered
them.
The charges
involve romance scams and
schemes related to the
COVID-19 pandemic.
All four pleaded
not guilty. Judge Rakoff set a
pre-trial conference for May
26 and said the trial date
will be discussed at that
time.
The case is US v.
Appiedu, 21-cr-88 (Rakoff)
