COURTHOUSE,
Nov 21 – The US
Attorney's Office for the
Southern District of New York
on November 21 announced "the
arrest of HENRY YAU for a
scheme to commit identity
theft, convert government
records, and disclose agency
records containing
individually identifiable
information. YAU
will be presented before
Magistrate Judge Stewart D.
Aaron."
Inner City Press
went to the proceeding, and as
the only media there live
tweeted it, from the thread:
Yau is brought in
by US Marshals, in turquoise
t-shirt and COVID mask. He has
detained counsel. Magistrate
Judge Stewart D. Aaron: Time
of arrest? AUSA: 7 am. Judge:
Detention or release?
AUSA: Bail
package Defense: I'd
like to push this to second
call
Note: YAU
disclosed confidential
information from law
enforcement databases
about Victim-1 who Lin was
seeking to deported from the
US due to conflict with
members of a bank fraud
conspiracy in which Lin was
involved
They're
back on Yau. AUSA: We propose
release on $2 million bond, $1
million [of which] in cash or
property Judge: What's the
hang up? [A third retained
lawyer has gotten involved]
Defense: This
bail is excessive. Mr Yau owns
some investment properties. 3d
call?
AUSA: There was
an audit of his DHS downloads,
he took passwords - we want to
search his residence or we'll
freeze it
Defense: We
offer $1 million signature,
$250,000 secured. AUSA: He
traveled around the world
chasing fugitives for ICE. He
knows how to flee
AUSA: They
tried to run his social
security number - others have
been searching him, other law
enforcement seemingly working
with him
Judge: I am
the one who signs search
warrants. If probable cause is
shown I will keep him detained
pending the search
Judge: I give you
30 minutes.
They're
back again on US v Henry Yau
No contact with Tommy Lin
without counsel present.
Yau is signing
something - public? Is he
giving back the DHS info?
