SDNY COURTHOUSE, June 23 – When Wilson Baston was released on $8 million bond on fraud charges, Inner City Press was the only media there (see here and below).
Later it was announced "an Indictment charging WILSON BASTON, a/k/a “Chanon Gordon,” a/k/a “William Baston,” a/k/a “Jackie Wilson,” with wire fraud, securities fraud, and aggravated identity theft in connection with a scheme to defraud investors in a series of purported real estate investments managed by BASTON and the entity Gordon Management Group. BASTON, who was previously convicted in federal court of 17 counts of mail and wire fraud for operating a similar fraudulent investment scheme, hid his true identity and the fact of his prior conviction from his investors by falsely representing that his name was “Chanon Gordon.” BASTON was arrested this morning in New York and was presented in federal court this afternoon."
That was sent out after the presentment. Inner City Press threadette:
OK - now US v Wilson Baston in SDNY Magistrates Court. Prosecutor is AUSA Folly, who works on #OneCoin. Baston will be retaining (paying) counsel, on wire and securities fraud.
Charges against Baston are securities fraud, wire fraud and aggravated ID theft. Next is July 7. US gives bail: bond of $8 million, secured by $50,000 cash
The case is US v. Baston, 23-cr-303 (Marrero / Moses)
