SDNY COURTHOUSE, July 28 – Former Goldman Sachs investment banker Brijesh Goel was arraigned on insider trading charges on the morning of July 28, 2022. Inner City Press there - although the arraignment had not be listed in the docket, nor announced by prosecutors.
Goel's case is assigned to U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge P. Kevin Castel, who held the arraignment.
Even afterward, the docket did not contain any notice of the arraignment - in contrast to the July 27 arraignment for insider trading of former Indian Congressman Steve Buyer, Inner City Press story here, video here.
Goel, represented by defense lawyer Brodsky who was still not listed on the docket - no notice of appearance? - after the proceeding, pleaded not guilty.
Assistant US Attorney Joshua Naftalis said his office agreed to release on $1 million bond, and no contact with "CC-1."
Brodsky, too, was concerned about CC-1. He specifically asked that all information about debriefing sessions with CC-1 be provided in two or three weeks, so that he or successor counsel can decide by the September 14 next conference whether to file motion.
This was incorporated into Judge Castel's Rule 5(f) order.
Goel is accused of feeding inside information to his graduate school friend and squash partner Akshay Niranjan, at Barclays.
Brodsky said Goel "could not consent" to excluding time under the Speedy Trial Act. But then after conferring, he did not oppose. Time was excluded.
The case is US v. Goel, 22-cr-396 (Castel)
