Exclusive, Sept 20 – Joshua
Henner's
arrest on
federal wire
fraud and ID
theft charged
was announced
on July 6,
2023. Then the
prosecutors
agreed to his
release on
$100,000 bond,
getting only
one
financially-responsible
co-signer
rather than
the two they
sought. Inner
City Press was
there, thread
here
and below.
The Southern
District of
New York
prosecutors
announced "the
unsealing of a
two-count
Indictment
charging
JOSHUA HENNER
with wire
fraud and
aggravated
identity
theft.
As alleged in
the
Indictment,
HENNER,
through false
statements and
representations,
convinced
victims to
loan him at
least $1.6
million for
the purpose of
investing in a
start-up,
while, in
reality,
misappropriating
those funds
for his own
purposes.
HENNER was
arrested this
morning and
will be
presented in
Manhattan
federal court
later today
before U.S.
Magistrate
Judge Jennifer
E.
Willis."
Inner City
Press was

gallery. Thread

On

Joshua
Henner's
Federal
Defender wrote
in, describing
his clients
attempt to end
his own life,
and asking for
time served.
On
September 20,
Inner City
Press covered
and live
tweeted the
sentencing, to
30 months, here:
Federal
Defender: He
apologized to
his victims,
by e-mail.
This has been
a 2 year
journey for
him.
Henner:
I was
diagnosed with
PTSD. I've
found an
extreme
passion for
cooking. Focus
Forward via
Teams: We read
a memoir, Josh
drafted
discussion
questions
AUSA:
We are asking
for 48 months.
He created
fake
documents. He
impersonated a
real lawyer
here in NYC.
The money he
took from his
victims, he
immediately
moved to other
accounts. He's
left his
victims with
mental issues
Victim

is a crook.
Victim-2:
He in a con
man. Where is
the money?
Victim

rationalizations,
narcissism.
He's going to
serve the
world through
food? Reaĺly?
Judge:
I sentence you
to 30 months.
Forfeiture
$2.4 million.
Then,
during the
conditions,
the victims
walked out...
