SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 7 – After
Alexander
Mashinsky of
Celsius was
arrested on
July 13, US
Attorney
Damian
Williams held
a press
conference,
and Inner City
Press asked
him to explain
his
thinking in
agreeing to
release on
bail for Sam
Bankman-Fried
but demanding
and
obtaining
pre-trial
detention of
Avi
Eisenberg.
US
Attorney
Williams
responded that
every case is
different.
Inner City
Press asked if
his office
would be
seeking the
detention of,
or agreeing to
release,
Mashinsky. He
declined to
say either
way, saying
you will soon
see.
On
September 13,
Mashinsky's
lawyers put in
a memo - and
56 sealed
exhibits, see
here
on Patreon -
asking for six
witnesses
(Yarden Noy,
Yaron Shalem,
Ron Sabo,
Johannes
Treutler,
Daniel Leon,
and named
co-defendant
Roni Cohen
Pavon) and
noting that
the US
Attorney's
Office
Pimintel
letter put his
guideline
sentence if
convicted
trial as 115
years.
On
November 7, an
oral arguments
(Inner City
Press live
tweeted here)
at the end of
which Judge
Koeltl granted
a motion to
preserve the
testimony of /
depose four
witnesses, but
not so as to
delay the
trial;
Mashinsky's
motion to
dismiss two
counts was
denied. Later
Inner City
Press saw him,
along carrying
two legal
briefs, going
into Pre-Trial
Services on
the 5th floor.
