SDNY Court Exclusive, May 16 – A pump and dump security fraud scheme was indicted on April 14, and it was said that DOMENIC CALABRIGO was arrested in the Bahamas and HASAN SARIO, a citizen and resident of Turkey and also charged and "remains at large."
On April 15 in the companion SEC case, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Lewis J. Liman held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it - and this "at large" Hasan Sario called in.
Judge Liman asked Sario to pause, noting that also present was a lawyer who'd said he is in the process of being retained.
They adjourned for five minutes, after which the lawyer said Mr. Sario no longer wished to directly address the court.
A lawyer who said he only represents Domenic Calabrigo in the criminal case said his client is consenting to extradition and should "be here in the Souther District soon." The SEC is seeking to freeze $39 million.
The SEC case was set to reconvene in two weeks. But on May 16 the SEC wrote in to adjourn that, saying the Calabrigo is negotiating a Preliminary Injunction and consent to the TRO being extended for now. Inner City Press will stay on this case. It is Securities and Exchange Commission v. Calabrigo, et al., 22-cv-3096 (Liman).
The criminal case is US v. Lehner, et al., 21-cr-121 (Berman)
