SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 20 -- For scam crypto
currency OneCoin, Sebastian
Greenwood who co-founded the
company with Ruja Ignatova was
sentenced to 20 years in
prison by U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Judge Edgardo Ramos
on September 12, 2023. Inner
City Press was there and live
tweeted, thread here
On January 19
Mark Scott, convicted at
trial, submitted a
heavily redacted sentencing
submission, asking for "no
more than five years of
imprisonment." Inner City
Press immediately wrote in
seeking to unseal. Later on
January 19, the US Attorney's
Office asked for 17 years.
We'll have more on this.
Inner City Press
had sought the unsealing of
Greenwood's 33 sentencing
letters but with him opposing
(citing a Mafia case) and the
US Attorney's Office
inappropriately taking no
position, it was denied. Judge
Ramos' order
is here.
On October 10,
Inner City Press filed Notice
of Appeal of the sealing of
all of Greenwood's letters. On
December 21, represented by
pro bono counsel Brian D.
Ginsberg of Harris Beech, the
request to extend the time to
brief this important court
transparency appeal was
extended, by Second Circuit
Judge Jose A. Cabranes, to
March 18, 2024, here.
