White Collar Defendant Hunsicker Is Allowed to Self Surrender then Released on $1M Bond

SDNY COURTHOUSE, July 18 – A white collar defendant was allowed to self-surrender and was released on bond the same day in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Inner City Press was there, and live tweeted. 

 The SDNY prosecutors say Christine Hunsicker schemed "to defraud investors in the fashion technology business CaaStle and a related venture out of more than $300 million through false statements, misleading claims, and fabricated documents." 

  Inner City Press went to the SDNY Magistrates Court, where Magistrate Judge Jennifer E. Willis was presiding, and former SDNY prosecutor Ana Stotko was the defense lawyer.  

  After both sides reviewed the pre-trial services report, the prosecutor announced an agreement on $1 million personal recognizance bond, secured by property listed in the sealed report - and that she is to "refrain from gambling."  

 The case is USA v. Hunsicker, 1:25-cr-318 (Oekten)
