On May 21, 2021U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it.
Truglia is charged with "SIM swapping;" the complaint says $23.8 million were diverted. Then money was laundered.
Judge Hellerstein set a deadline of June 29 at 2:30 pm to make motions or waive the right.
Truglia pled guilty on Octboer 28, 2021, and was belatedly set for sentencing on November 2, 2022. Inner City Press was there.
After a discussion of information still lacking from his counsel to Probation for the Pre-Sentencing Report, it was postponed to November 30, and he was taken back into detention. Inner City Press live tweeted here
