COURTHOUSE,
June 1 – Back in August 2025
the US Attorney for the
Southern District of New York
announced they were "charging
RICHARD KIM, the former Chief
Executive Officer of Zero Edge
Corporation with engaging in a
scheme to defraud investors
and prospective investors of
Zero Edge by making false and
misleading statements
regarding the use of investor
funds and subsequently
misappropriating those
funds. The case has been
assigned to U.S. District
Judge Lorna G. Schofield."
On
May 16 the
Federal
Defender wrote
in "to correct
the
government's
misleading
suggestion
that it was
caught be
surprise on
the eve of
trial that the
defense would
be raising the
issue of
gambling
disorder." So
will that be
the defense?
Kim was
formerly at
Goldman Sachs.
Gambling,
indeed...
On
May 18, Kim's Federal
Defender filed 73 pages of
email - entirely redacted -
saying they should not be
admitted, under spousal and
other privileges and on
relevant grounds.
On
May 22, 2025 Judge Schofield
pushed Kim's trial back from
June 27 to July 29.
On June 1 the
Federal Defender wrote in that
July 29 conflicts with the
defense's schedule and
proposing a (re) rescheduling
conference for one of five
days between June 9 and June
18.
The case
is USA v. Kim, 1:25-cr-359
(Schofield)
