COURTHOUSE,
Oct 21 – A man pled guilty to
bank fraud without giving his
name on May 9 before U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrate Judge Stewart D.
Aaron. Inner City Press was
there, the only media in the
SDNY Mag court.
The
defendant was arrested as
"First Name Unknown, Last Name
Unknown a/k/a Reginald Davis"
and detained in January 2024,
represented by Federal
Defenders.
On May 9,
now represented by a white
shoe Manhattan law firm, he
was brought in by U.S.
Marshals. The firm had four
people there. They had written
in that their client has a
Fifth Amendment right not to
give him name - even as he
pled guilty.
The AUSA, too, referred to
"Mister
LNU."
Apparently the
concern is that he could be
forced to incriminate himself
for the charge of using a
false name. Now that he has
pled guilty, under what name
will he be incarcerated?
On May 20
co-defendant Oldyn pled guilty
- giving his name. Sentencing
is set for September 2.
On June 11 Judge
Berman docketed an order that
"the Court has determined that
some additional discussion
would be helpful" and set it
for June 25 at 11. On June 25,
he pled guilty, with
sentencing set for September
18.
On August 18
defense counsel for Oldyn
wrote in asking for 28 months.
On August 25 the
US Attorney's Office wrote in
asking for 41 months on Oldyn,
detailing the scheme to
withdraw funds from other
people's HELOC accounts
through credit union branches
in at least six states.
At sentencing
Oldyn got 38 months, with
$19,000 of restitution
ordered.
On October 7 LNU
/ Davis' white shoe CJA
counsel asked for 21 months on
October 22.
On October 14 the
US Attorney's Office wrote in
asking for 46 months.
On October 21 he
was sentenced to 37 months.
The case is
USA v. FNU LNU a/k/a Reginald
Davis, 1:23-cr-678 (Berman)
