SDNY MAG COURT Follow Up, Aug 11-  In the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on May 11, 2022 a guilty plea proceeding was held before Magistrate Judge Katharine H. Parker on a man who confessed to using stolen AT&T account information to buy iPhones in other people's names.

   Daniel A. Torres pleaded guilty, in language that closely tracked the initial indictment. For other co-defendants in the case there is a pre-trial conference set for June 1. But no longer for Torres.
 
  Judge Parker accepted the plea and asked if the District Judge, Alvin K. Hellerstein, had set a sentencing date. Not yet, she was told.

It was October 2022 when he got five years probation.

Co-defendant Altaweed, who got 25 months in 2022, is now up on an alleged violation of supervision. On August 11, 2026 the US Attorney's Office wrote in asking to push a VOSR conference back for 90 days from August 13, note that he "was transferred from the Hudson County Jail to an inpatient treatment program."

     This case is US v. Torres, 21-cr-132 (Hellerstein / Parker)
