Cooperator from StraightPath Trial Gets Time Served with Memos Not in Docket EDNY Cited



Cooperator from StraightPath Trial Gets Time Served with Memos Not in Docket EDNY Cited

by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Oct 20 รข€“   A year after testifying as a cooperator in a securities fraud trial in the Southern District of New York, Mark Lisser on October 20 was sentenced to time served.

Neither his sentencing memo, nor the Government's, were in the public docket on the day of sentencing.   Inner City Press went to the sentencing, where there were four other people in the large courtroom gallery.

It was said that Lisser's son's name will be redacted - in fact, nothing of this will be put in the docket until after a joint letter a week after Lisser's sentencing in EDNY. 

 There, he told Judge Azrack that he used marijuana heavily. That came up, briefly, in his cross examination in SDNY. Asked if drugs "destroyed your cognitive abilities," he said "You could say that." 

 You could - but it might be redacted.

  The case is USA v. Lisser, 1:24-cr-341 (Furman)

The trial he testified at was USA v. Castillero, et al., 1:23-cr-622 (Furman)
