SDNY COURTHOUSE, Nov 11 -- In September and October 2022 Trevor Milton, founder of Nikola Motor was put on trial for fraudulent claims about NKLA's hydrogen trucks.
On Friday, October 14, Milton was found guilty on three of four counts.
Inner City Press published a book, Hydrogen Heist, here on Amazon (which by contrast on November 11, 2024 blocked a similar book about the more recent Sean Combs case, Diddy Do It).
On November 14, 2023 Milton's counsel asked for mere probation, contrasting Milton to Elizabeth Holmes and more recently OneCoin's Sebastian Greenwood (whose sealing of sentencing letters Inner City Press has appealed)
On December 15 Milton claimed there was no loss. On December 17, the US Attorney's Office wrote in opposing Milton's late filed comments on the Pre-Sentencing report, 5 pages on Patreon here.
On December 18, after a surreal speech by Milton, he got four years. Thread here.
Now on November 11, 2024 his lawyer Alexandra Shapiro has filed a motion for a new trial on Count IV, saying the Hicks lied and that Judge Ramos should decide the motion notwithstanding the pending appeal.
