COURTHOUSE,
Oct 14 รข€“ A man indicted for
foisting unneeded construction
contracts on elderly
homeowners then laundering the
proceeds through the Diamond
District was presented on
November 5, 2025 in the U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrates Court. Inner City
Press was there, the only
media in the SDNY Mag
court. The
defendant was in the bright
yellow jumpsuit of the Essex
County (NJ) jail. His two
co-defendants had both been
released on $1 million
unsecured bond. But, with a
Federal Defender for the day
while saying he may be
retaining counsel, he
consented to detention without
prejudice, with no conference
before the District Judge
until March 18, 2026. Jump cut to
October 14, 2026 when
co-defendant Connors pled
guilty to Count One, with
sentencing set for January 20,
2027. Meanwhile the lead named
defendant has a motion for a
bill of particulars pending. The overall case is USA v. Cohen, et al., 1:25-cr-444 (Daniels / Ricardo)
