COURTHOUSE,
Dec 5 – A former Forbes 30
under 30 profilee with an AI
education company was
arraigned on December 3 before
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
new Magistrate Judge Henry J.
Richardo and pled not guilty.
Inner City Press was there,
the only media in the SDNY Mag
court.
Back on
November 17, SDNY prosecutors
announced they were charging
JOANNA SMITH-GRIFFIN with
securities fraud, wire fraud,
and aggravated identity theft
in connection with defrauding
investors in AllHere
Education, Inc., the startup
artificial intelligence
education technology company
she founded, out of millions
of dollars.
Since then,
photos of her Miami wedding
have emerged.
On December 3,
the prosecutors agreed she
could be free on $350,000
bond, saying that the firearms
in her house in North Carolina
must be given to her father in
law.
Her Federal
Defender said Pre-Trial
Services in NC already
indicated the guns could stay
in the house.
Docketed on
December 5, assigned District
Judge John G. Koeltl OK-ed a
virtual appearance from North
Carolina: "as to Joanna
Smith-Grffin, the matter is
adjourned to Wednesday,
December 18, 2024, at 11:30
AM. The Court will hold a
virtual conference. The
Court's Deputy Clerk will give
the parties the appropriate
virtual link in advance of the
conference." And to the
public?
Inner City Press
will continue to follow this
case.
The case is USA
v. Smith-Griffin, 1:24-cr-648
