Ex NYC Herbert Indicted NYCHA Funeral & Bakery Frauds Has Oct Trial SC Cowboy in RV by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack SDNY COURTHOUSE, May 18 – With former NYC Mayor Eric Adams launching a crypto token and exchanging profanities in an airport, on January 13 the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York announced the "unsealing of an Indictment charging ANTHONY HERBERT—the former Citywide Public Housing Liaison at the New York City Mayor’s Office—with committing bribery, kickback, and fraud offenses.  HERBERT was arrested this morning and will be presented today before U.S. Magistrate Judge Stewart D. Aaron."   Inner City Press went to the presentment and live tweeted: All rise! AUSA: Mr Herbert was arrested at 7:45 am  Judge Aaron: You have retained counsel. You are charged with abusing your authority in Mayor's Office, taking bribes.  Defense: Not guilty.   AUSA: We have agreed to release on $50,000 bond with two co-signers in a week's time. No contact with Security and Funeral Home Director. Judge: I adopt the conditions as my own.  On February 6 Herbert and his lawyer and a supporter appeared in the otherwise empty courtroom of Judge Caproni. She said she'd like to try the case this year. On on May 18 she set a date: October 26. Inner City Press was there and live tweeted; Herbert's lawyer asked for permission for Herbert to travel to an African American cowboy event in South Carolina on Memorial Day. Judge Caproni after remarking she was unaware of cowboys in South Carolina said to tell Pre-Trial Service where Herbert will stay there.     In an R.V. [recreational vehicle], his lawyer said.  The third scheme, PPP loans for a non-existent bakery, did not require a no contact order. The case is USA v. Herbert, 1:26-cr-4 (Caproni) *** Your support means a lot. As little as $5 a month helps keep us going and grants you access to exclusive bonus material on our Patreon page.
