SDNY COURTHOUSE,
April 13 – Michael
Hild was
arraigned for
fraud on Live
Well
Financial's
reverse
mortgages and
home equity
conversion
mortgages by
U.S. District
Court for the
Southern
District of
New York Judge
Ronnie Abrams
on September
5, 2019. Inner
City Press
covered it, here.
Now
on April 13,
2021, Judge
Abrams picked
a jury of 12,
with three
alternates, in
the large Jury
Assembly Room
of the SDNY,
with the
venire in
masks and
individual
chairs,
socially
distanced.
Inner City
Press was
there.
The Juror
Questionnaire
asked about
any links to
or knowledge
of Bank of New
York,
Customers
Bank, First
Bank of
Tennessee,
Flagstar Bank,
ICBC,
International
Data
Corporation
(IDC), Mizuho
Securities,
NRMLA, Nomura,
Republic Bank,
U.S. Bank and
others.
In
the run-up to
the trial,
which starts
on April 14 at
10:15 am and
which Inner
City Press
will cover,
the US
Attorney's
Office filed a
motion in
limine seeking
to preclude
"evidence
suggesting
that IDC or
the lenders
were negligent
or careless in
failing to
stop the
fraud."
Echoes
of the Eaze
trial of US
v. Weigard,
earlier this
year before
Judge Jed S.
Rakoff,
unsealing
order won by
Inner City
Press here.
Beyond mortgage
fraud, we note
for now that
Hild worked at
Capital One,
and was
building an
empire in
South Richmond
which some
locals
denounced as
gentrification.
Hild, of
course, has
another story.
Watch this
site.
The
case is US v
Hild,
19-cr-602
(Abrams). There is
and will be
more on
Patreon, here.
