SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Jan 25 –
George
Guldi was
imprisoned in
the Marcy
Correctional
Facility in
New York on
March 28, 2017
when he
received in
the mail a
notice that a
lender "has
received your
payment in the
amount of
$253,236.00."
His
mind began to
whirl.
Now
Guldi is on
trial,
presided over
by U.S.
District Court
for the
Southern
District of
New York Judge
Alvin K.
Hellerstein.
On
January 18, he
sat at defense
table as audio
of his jail
calls with
Victoria
Davidson was
played for the
jury.
In
it, Guldi is
surprisingly
upbeat,
laughing
frequently.
Davidson said,
What kind of
attorney do
you need?"
Guldi
replied, "The
kind I was."
Davidson
says, Ha, ha,
who's too
smart for his
own
good."
The
trial involves
the
multiply-sued
bank Wells
Fargo, on
which Inner
City Press
also reports.
The
prosecutors'
gloss: "George
Guldi and
Victoria
Davidson - the
defendants are
charged with
wire fraud,
bank fraud,
and wire and
bank fraud
conspiracy in
connection
with their
alleged
involvement in
2017 in a
scheme to
fraudulently
induce Ditech
Financial LLC,
a mortgage
lending
business, to
wire them more
than
$250,000."
On
January 25,
Guldi and
Victoria
Davidson were
found guilty
on all charges
and sentencing
set for May 30
and May 31,
respectively.
The
case is US v.
Guldi et al.,
19-cr-126
