SDNY COURTHOUSE, Feb 14 – Gina Guy is charged with wire fraud and money laundering as part of romance scams of the elderly. On June 25 she was presented before U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Magistrate Judge Robyn F. Tarnofsky. Inner City Press was there, the only media in the SDNY Mag Court.
Before Guy was brought out by the U.S. Marshals, a Federal Defender on her behalf discussed a bail package with two prosecutors. Guy indicated that she will be retaining her own counsel; FD was only for presentment.
When she was brought out, she was quickly released on her own signature on a $250,000 bond, with one financially-responsible co-signer due in a week. The prosecutors asked for no contact with witnesses or victims but were told only if they gave the names. They did not.
On January 22, 2025 Gina Guy and Rosanna Lisa Stanley were indicted on four counts; the case was wheeled out to District Judge John G. Koeltl.
On February 5 Inner City Press went to the arraignments. There was only one: Gina Guy was present and pled not guilty. Stanley is in a hospital; a letter is due on February 14. The next conference is June 25 at 2:30 pm, to allow Guy's counsel to fly in and out the same day.
On February 14 the two defendants filed a motion for a bill of particulars: the names of "allegedly elderly victims" and the representations made.
The case is now USA v. Guy, et al., 1:25-cr-29 (Koeltl)
