SDNY COURTHOUSE, August 17 – Three indicted insider traders were present in court on August 17; two cooperators in the case were not. Talk turned to their interviews with the FBI, and so-called "Brutonization" or perhaps even severance.
On August 17, 2022 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Gregory H. Woods held an in-person proceeding with the three California-based defendants. Inner City Press went and covered it.
The case centers around suspicious trading in Lumentum Holdings Inc. in connection with two separate potential acquisitions by Lumentum, Coherent, Inc. and Neophotonics Corporation. The defendants are AMIT BHARDWAJ, SRINIVASA KAKKERA, ABBAS SAEEDI. Two of them, it was said, gave statements to the FBI, copies of which they still don't have. The Bruton case was mentioned.
Two of the three wanted five monts to review discovery; the other suggested 90 days. Judge Woods went with the five months, until January 18, 2023 at 3 pm.
Meanwhile Abbas Saeedi has been approved "to take a day or two trip to Universal Studios or Disneyland," on Patreon here.
The cooperators, mentioned at the bottom for the SDNY's press release, are Dhirenkumar Patel and Ramesh Chitor. The case is US v. Bhardwaj, et al., 22-cr-398 (Woods)
