Joby Weeks back to home incarceration, upcoming bail hearing
BitClub Network scammer Joby Weeks has had his bail conditions downgraded back to home incarceration.
A February 22nd petition filed by a Pretrial Services Officer requested the change, pending an also requested bail review hearing.
Unfortunately while the PSO’s petition cited an “attached addendum”, presumably going into why the PSO has requested a hearing, the addendum doesn’t appear on the Weeks’ case docket.
The petition itself however notes one of the first things Weeks (right) did upon being granted bail, was to violate the granted bail conditions.
[Weeks] proceeded to a steakhouse following his release on bail and arrival in Denver; contrary to the restrictions the Court imposed under home incarceration.
Upon being granted bail, Weeks was released to the custody of parents Nathaniel and Silence Weeks, and wife Stephanie Weeks.
The petition notes Stephanie Weeks, was “removed as [a] third-party custodian” on October 31st, 2023
This development followed news of Joby abandoning his wife following a stage 4 cancer diagnosis.
It’s unclear whether Joby and Stephanie Weeks have since divorced. Stephanie now goes by “Stephanie Stolba” on social media.
The last update noted in the PSO’s petition is a January 25th proposed order, requesting a lien on the property Joby secured bail with be removed. Joby also requested his parents be removed as third-party custodians. Not sure what the story is there.
As at time of publication, a decision on that motion remains pending. The court meanwhile has scheduled the requested bail review hearing for March 21st, 2024.
In related news, sentencing for the BitClub defendants was also postponed earlier this month.
New dates for each of the defendants are now:
- Joby Weeks – 19th September, 2024
- Joe Abel – 18th September, 2024
- Silviu Balaci – 24th September 2024
The delay likely has to do with processing of discovery in fellow defendant Matthew Goettsche’s case.
As per a January 30th, 2024 order, Goettsche’s case has been continued through March 29th.
Following a not guilty plea entered back in 2019, Goettsche remains scheduled to face trial pending resolution of ongoing discovery issues.
Update 9th April 2024 – Matt Goettsche’s case has been continued again till May 31st.
Update 10th April 2024 – A court has modified Joby Weeks’ release conditions to be “more restrictive”.
“November 31st, 2023” didn’t exist! So, did Stephanie actually get removed?
That was verbatim from the court filing. I’m a bit lost on some of the info in the petition as it doesn’t appear on the case docket.
The January 25th motion requesting Joby’s parents be removed is on there so I’m assuming Stephanie was in fact booted last November (I figure that’s a November 30th typo).
On a hunch I ran the docket a month earlier and it’s an October 31st filing. So the PSO had the right date, wrong month.
I knew Joby a bit, it perplexed me to learn he would leave his wife when finding out she has Stage 4 Cancer.
Shame on him, I guess he forget the marriage vows of in sickness and in health!
It’s obvious that this man will not serve any time in prison. I think this entire thing was a syop by the government, and that’s where all the crypto is.
Too many political ties here to make one comfortable, that they were on their own. Wire taps started in 2014 and arrested in 2018????
Makes no sense, the evidence was procured in 2014, why wait 4 years. To be a close to billion dollar crime, this is a powder puff case.
Zero justice served, everyone FUCKED! Put it together people.
What’s Weeks going to prison got to do with whether you’re “fucked” or not?
You were fucked the moment you invested into a Ponzi scheme. Regardless of the regulatory cleanup, that’s on you.
Easier to sit back and come up with dumbass conspiracy theories though I guess.
Off with all their heads sentence them already, crooks sentencing crooks.
I’ve known Joby since 1995. He was fun to party with in high school, then he started getting a lot of money. he was a millionaire by the time he was 20.
once he started getting a bunch of money he started to act like a used car salesman. You know those guys that don’t really have much substance.
It is almost like he became a personification of himself that was not the same guy anymore. He essentially became a facade. Which is ironic considering these crimes.
Stab in the dark; this was around the time Weeks became a crypto bro? Or did that come after and amplify the downward spiral?
so what happened at the bail hearing in March?
Continued again, added an update.
Not expecting any significant movement on the BCN cases so just checking the docket monthly.
