By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Podcast Order

SDNY COURTHOUSE, March 13 -- For scam crypto currency OneCoin, Sebastian Greenwood who co-founded the company with Ruja Ignatova was sentenced to 20 years in prison by U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Edgardo Ramos on September 12, 2023. Inner City Press was there and live tweeted, thread here

Inner City Press had sought the unsealing of Greenwood's 33 sentencing letters but with him opposing (citing a Mafia case) and the US Attorney's Office inappropriately taking no position, it was denied. Judge Ramos' order is here.

On October 10, Inner City Press filed Notice of Appeal of the sealing of all of Greenwood's letters.

On July 28, 2025, Inner City Press won: Opinion here.

Now 145 F.4th 248 (2d Cir. July 28, 2025)

  On March 13, 2026, belatedly into the docket went  that "Aamer Abdulaziz Ahmed Salman (9) pleaded guilty to Count(s) 1 of the S19 Information. Count(s) open and underlying are dismissed on the motion of the United States. IMPRISONMENT: 18 months. - The defendant shall surrender for service of sentence at the institution designated by the Bureau of Prisons: before 2 p.m. on 6/17/2025." DOJ's sentencing submission was withheld 11 months; the defendant's, by Marc Agnifilo, is heavily redacted. Full document on Patreon here.
