SDNY WHITE
PLAINS, Dec 13 – A
man who served
six months in
prison for
selling Xanax
over the Dark
Web was
arrested and
re-detained in
Federal Court
in Manhattan
for selling
Oxy with
fentanyl for
Bitcoin out of
an Airbnb in
Tuxedo Park,
New York.
Kyle Weiland -
not the
professional
baseball
player by the
same name -
was presented
on June 28 in
500 Pearl
Street before
U.S. District
Court for the
Southern
District of
New York
Magistrate
Judge Sarah L.
Cave. Inner
City Press was
there, the
only media in
the SDNY Mag
Court.
The Assistant
US Attorney
said Weiland
has been under
investigation
since 2022
when a pill
press was
delivered to
him. He left
his listed
location and
flew to Texas
where, she
said, he got a
domestic
violence
charge.
Now
he was found
with three
luxury sports
cars and
$480,000 in
cryptocurrency
wallets - and,
on June 28, a
free Federal
Defender after
swearing to a
financial
affidavit that
he is income
eligible.
Judge
Cave ordered
him detained.
He will next
be seen on the
VOSR by
District Judge
Lorna G.
Schofield.
On
June 30 the
other shoe
dropped: a
complaint for
the next case
was filed in
the SDNY White
Plains
courthouse,
and signed by
Magistrate
Judge Judith
C. McCarthy.
The
complaint does
not mention
the sports
cars but does
cite
industrial
pill presses
and that "the
quantity of
narcotics
recovered from
the Tuxedo
Park Residence
is consistent
with narcotics
distribution
and not person
narcotics
use."
Jump
cut to August
28, 2024 when
the US
Attorney's
Office wrote
in that
Weiland
"intends to
plead guilty
to both
Specifications
3 and 4 in the
amended
violation
report as well
as Counts One
and Two of the
information in
case 24 Cr.
502 (CS),
which relate
to the same
conduct.
On
December 9,
for the
combined
sentencing set
for December
20 in White
Plains,
Weiland's
lawyer wrote
in asking for
42 months,
with 12 months
on the VOSR
concurrent -
so, 42 months.
The
US Attorney's
Office wrote
in on December
13 asking for
63 months then
12 months on
the VOSR
consecutive -
so, 75 months.
The
VOSR
case is US v.
Weiland,
18-cr-273
(Schofield)
The
new case US v.
Weiland,
7:24-cr-502
(Seibel)
