COURTHOUSE,
March 17 – When OneCoin crypto
fraud defendant Karl Sebastian
Greenwood came up for
sentencing, his lawyers put
all 33 of his sentencing
letters under seal. Inner City
Press opposed, to U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Edgardo Ramos and then
to the Second Circuit Court of
Appeals.
On
March 17 Second Circuit Judge
Alison J. Nathan asked why
selective redactions, rather
than wholesale sealing,
wouldn't be appropriate.
Judge Barrington Parker told
Greenwood's lawyer, You
haven't convinced me, citing a
Circuit decision in unsealing
in the Ghislaine Maxwell case,
which Inner City Press also
covered (and which Judge
Nathan oversaw, prior to
moving up to the Second
Circuit).
He
noted the brevity of the
District Court's order.
There were
other problems with the
processing of the case /
appeal, but a ruling will be
coming. And it is needed -
court transparency is at
stake, and is in play every
day, here in SDNY and
elsewhere. Watch this site.
