by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Oct 31 –  For a cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme called IcomTech, which held a promotional event in or near NYC's Times Square, David Carmona on December 21 pled guilty before U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Jennifer L. Rochon. Inner City Press was there to cover it

On October 4, Cardona was sentenced to 121 months. From Inner City Press' thread

 On October 31, after days of Fatico hearing(s), Gustavo Rodriguez was sentenced. Thread.

On December 2, David Brend was sentenced to 10 years. Inner City Press was there, from the thread:

Brend: I was the first male PTA president at my son's school. My ex-wife is praying for me. I was good at communicating, marketing. My mother in law passed out last time she was here

 Judge Rochon : Mr Brend was raised in a strong Jehovah's Witness community. He has a Masters Degree and receives payments from a Native American tribe. He engaged in crypto fraud, silencing those who complained

Judge: He described himself as a MLM expert. Mr Rodriguez got 7 years and did not deal directly with victims. I sentence Mr. Brend to ten years in prison.

  He asked for Pensacola, and agreed to surrender on December 16.
