| After Trial
of Goldman Sachs Insider Request to Censor
Reporting on Brijesh Goel Rejected
By Matthew

SDNY COURTHOUSE,
June 17 – Former Goldman Sachs
investment banker Brijesh Goel
was arraigned on insider
trading charges on the morning
of July 28, 2022. Inner City
Press was there at that first
stage - and through the trial
and conviction that followed.
Now on
February 26, 2026, a demand to
remove reporting about this,
one that Inner City Press
rejects and publishes:
"Writing to
formally request the removal
of the following article from
your website- Link-
https://www.innercitypress.com/sdnybrief107jacastelmnpigoelicp061723.html
The information in this
article regarding Brijesh Goel
is outdated and does not
reflect the current legal
status. For your reference,
the latest case status there
is no public record of an
appeal or reversal. We kindly
request that this article be
removed from the dissemination
of outdated or misleading
information. Accordingly, we
hereby formally demand the
immediate removal of the
above-referenced. Please
confirm once the action has
been taken. Thank you for your
immediate action on this
matter."
We have
given the request to censor
" immediate attention" - and
published it less than an hour
after receipt. There are other
similar, and similarly
outrageous, requests pending.
But the courts are public.
The
referenced report continued:
Goel's case was assigned to
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge P. Kevin Castel, who
held the
arraignment.
Goel is
accused of feeding inside
information to his graduate
school friend and squash
partner Akshay Niranjan, at
Barclays.
On June 12, 2023,
after jury selection, the
trial began with opening
arguments. Inner City Press
was there and live tweeted,

On June 14,
finally, Niranjan took to the
stand, but not yet on cross.
Thread here
On June 16,
Niranjan finished, cross and
re-direct (and was spotted by
the courthouse cafeteria on 8,
talking about going to the
prosecutors' office on the 5th
floor), thread here
SURPRISE -
defendant Brijesh Goel has
just taken the stand.
Goel's lawyer:
Did you meet at Quality Meats?
Goel: Yes.
[Quality Meats
has steaks up to $195 - Inner
City Press calls it
"Inequality Meats.]
On Saturday, June
17 the US Attorney's Office
complained Goel had yet to
answer their subpoena. Goal's
counsel promised an answer in
two hours. Subpoena on Patreon

Inner City Press
will continue to cover the
cases - watch this site.
The case is
US v. Goel, 22-cr-396
(Castel)
