I’m simply baffled that he didn’t pull a Ruja and disappear from the face of the earth the moment he was released from custody.

It’s probably not so great to be a fugitive especially cause he has a small kid(s).

And he must have extraordinary amount of interesting information which he can sing to the US authorities and considerably lessen his sentence. He might also know how to find Ruja.

OCRed the document linked in comment #1 in order to machine translation. These are the Frank Schneider charges according to the document:

The person concerned is sought for the purpose of the exercise of criminal prosecutions under the title of an arrest warrant awarded on September 24, 2020 by Mrs Sarah Netburn judge New York for events committed between 2014 and 2019, qualified fraud Electronics and whitening related to the sale of a crypto-currency, onecoin.

The person concerned is more precisely accused by the American authorities:

– to have provided “industrial espionage and money laundering services”

– providing confidential police information to the main charges allowing one of the two founders of the company and the pyramidal assembly / Ponzi system to escape an arrest

– To have pursued Onecoin’s activities through a company recorded in its name to the United Arab Emirates.

Frank was indeed from with Ruja, Juha and Sebasian as early as 2014! Thus, not impossible hecould that he even be considered as one of the founders of OneCoin. Mastermind he certainly is.

The indictment or information on which the arrest warrant from the SDNY is based still appears to be sealed but was issued in 2020.

The question is who else was indicted, this has the sound of being related to Konstantin’s testimony to a new Grand Jury.

The sealed indictment may indicate others may get a knock on the door one night soon.

Interesting article from September 23, 2021.

Memo to Frank: If you get in bed with criminals, expect to be treated like one. You are as good as a BS’er as Ruja, Juha, Sebastian, Igor Alberts, Kari, Steinkellers, Jose Gordo, King Jayms, “K,” Islam Brothers, naming just a few.

At least you got use of your creative writing course. Just shocked that you didn’t claim they put a sack over your head so that only your eyes and mouth were not covered.

Given what’s at stake I’d be surprised if the house he was at wasn’t under unofficial surveillance.

Really tempted to report on Schneider’s indictment snippets but I think it might be best to wait for the OG document to be unsealed.

The gist of it is there but don’t want to leave it to auto-translate and risk getting something wrong.

Yeah, so this is gonna be a while;

Bosc nevertheless warned that even if all options for appeal were exhausted, “the possible extradition of Frank Schneider should still take some time”.

In the event that the appeal announced by Schneider’s counsel is rejected, “it will be up to the government to issue an extradition decree”, which may also be challenged “before the Council of State”, Bosc said.

I’m in the middle of something at the moment. If I can get it done in time I’ll look at translating the appeal decision for indictment details.

Otherwise tomorrow.

In my understanding as a french citizen from the very few law courses I had, the only court they can appeal to is the “Cour de cassation” which doesn’t really renders a decision besides “the decision of the appeal court is or isn’t conform to law and procedure”.

They don’t really judge the case, they just break (casser as is cassation) a judge’s decision if it’s nonsensical or illegal. It’s usually a very desperate move that almost never works unless some serious procedure issue happened.

I’d tend to bet that the guy’s done.

Thanks for the input. Looks like we’ll just be waiting for procedure to run its course then.

Getting into the appeal decision today to suss out the indictment details.
