SDNY MAG COURT EXCLUSIVE, Jan 9 - In the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on December 27, a complaint was ordered unsealed charging Avraham Eisenberg with commodities fraud. He was arrested in Puerto Rico.
Inner City Press is covering the case(s), often as the only media in the Mag Court. Related Mag Court live-tweeted thread (more on Patreon here) vlog here
On January 9, Inner City Press came across the CFTC case against Eisenberg, just filed (still with no title in PACER) and put it out on Patreon here. The 21-page civil complaint is, as is often the case, more detailed...
The same day the criminal complaint was unsealed, Inner City Press repeatedly checked the SDNY Magistrates Court but it was locked. But the complaint in this case charges that Eisenberg "engaged in a scheme involving the intentional and artificial manipulation of the price of perpetual futures contracts on a cryptocurrency exchange called Mango Markets... which has its own native crypto token called MNGO."
The unsealed complaint is now on Patreon here
Inner City Press will have more on these cases.
This case is US v. Eisenberg, 22-mj-10337 (Parker)
