Judge Cote picks Nov 28, 2022 Velissaris' lawyer says Velissaris is still employed by Infinity Q.
Judge asks, How, if he's to have no contact?
A bond was agreed to, of $3 million with travel restricted to the SDNY, EDNY NJ and Las Vegas. The US Attorney's Office said "VELISSARIS defrauded Infinity Q’s investors by taking an active role in the valuation of Infinity Q’s positions, and by modeling the positions in ways that were not based on the actual terms of the underlying contracts and were inconsistent with fair value. VELISSARIS’ input into the BVAL valuation process was inconsistent with Infinity Q’s representations about the independence of the process and allowed VELISSARIS to fraudulently mismark positions in BVAL."
The case is US v. Velissaris, 22-cr-105 (Cote)
