SDNY COURTHOUSE, August 12 – Adam Rogas was arraigned on October 15, 2020 on charges of securities fraud in connection with the cyber-fraud prevention firm he headed, NS8.
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge John P. Cronan held the arraignment. Inner City Press covered the proceeding, the first it had by Judge Cronan, a former acting United States Assistant Attorney General for the United States Department of Justice Criminal Division.
That issue quickly arose. Judge Cronan told the parties that he had not worked on Rogas' case while at DOJ in Washington, but gave them two weeks to make any motion they see fit.
He inquired into the status of discovery, and if there might be a superseding indictment.
On June 30, 2021, after Inner City Press has covered more than 60 others cases before Judge Cronan, he held another conference on Rogas - after a motion for a bill of particulars, and arguments about nexus / location. Now Judge Cronan excluded Speedy Trial Act time until the next conference on August 12.
Inner City Press also covered the August 12 conference. Now the case, Judge Cronan's first on the SDNY bench, is now set down for trial on May 2, 2022, with the final pre-trial conference on April 25. Inner City Press will stay on the case.
The case is US v. Rogas, 20-cr-539 (Cronan)
