Trial Date for Former Goldman Sachs Casino Fraudster Up in Air Amid Gambling Disorder Talk

Trial Date for Former Goldman Sachs Casino Fraudster Up in Air Amid Gambling Disorder Talk by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack SDNY COURTHOUSE, June 1 – Back in August 2025 the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York announced they were "charging RICHARD KIM, the former Chief Executive Officer of Zero Edge Corporation with engaging in a scheme to defraud investors and prospective investors of Zero Edge by making false and misleading statements regarding the use of investor funds and subsequently misappropriating those funds.  The case has been assigned to U.S. District Judge Lorna G. Schofield."  On May 16 the Federal Defender wrote in "to correct the government's misleading suggestion that it was caught be surprise on the eve of trial that the defense would be raising the issue of gambling disorder." So will that be the defense? Kim was formerly at Goldman Sachs. Gambling, indeed... On May 18, Kim's Federal Defender filed 73 pages of email - entirely redacted - saying they should not be admitted, under spousal and other privileges and on relevant grounds.    On May 22, 2025 Judge Schofield pushed Kim's trial back from June 27 to July 29. On June 1 the Federal Defender wrote in that July 29 conflicts with the defense's schedule and proposing a (re) rescheduling conference for one of five days between June 9 and June 18.   The case is USA v. Kim, 1:25-cr-359 (Schofield) *** 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.
