SDNY COURTHOUSE,
July 25 – As Inner City
Press covered the OneCoin
trial in October 2019, a
number of names of indicted
co-conspirators emerged on
which we followed up.
One of
them was Gilbert Armenta,
who recorded
Ruja Ignatova. Inner City
Press has repeatedly asked the
US Attorney's Office for the
Southern District of New York
for more information; it
continues even now to withhold
the exhibits it flashed on the
screen at trial. Inner City
Press had to file a FOIA
request; the Department of
Justice denies expedited
processing.
Now we can report
this: the US Attorney's Office
gave Armenta his own secret
docket number and kept it
sealed for three years, until
AFTER Inner City Press
exclusively reported on
Armenta's continuing dubious
business activities even while
a "cooperator." The case was
initially assigned to SDNY
Judge Willian H. Pauley III,
then moved to Judge Edgardo
Ramos - who to his credit has
now put an end to continued
extensions, and set a
sentencing date for October
21, 2020. The unsealed indictment
is now on Patreon here.
The
willingness to hide Armenta
and the case against him, as
he continued dubious business
presumably for others, has
Inner City Press wondering
about these individuals it is
researching through links
to Ruja Ignatova's

We'll have more
on this. Here are the
Armenta business moves Inner
City Press exclusively
reported on December 1, 2019,
here:
ESOL B.V.
LLC was incorporated on July
8, 2019; the manager is
Gilbert Armenta and the agent
is Giselle Valentin, both of
500 E. Broward Boulevard, PH
2, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33394.
See here.
And here.
Armenta's Tblisi,
Georgia-based money laundering
bank JSC Capital Bank had as
its parent a company of
exactly this name. See KPMG
review of Georgia banking
sector here.

companies on Patreon here.
Inner City
Press asked, on December 1,
2019: Is the US Attorney's
Office allowing its cooperator
to keep on money laundering?
Or looking the other way while
whatever cooperation agreement
exists is openly violated?
Perhaps these and other
quesitons will be answered in
connection with Armenta's
sentencing in the too long
seal case against him. Watch
this site.
