| 02/02/2017 | 137 | LETTER by Devon Archer as to Devon Archer, Bevan Cooney addressed to Judge Ronnie Abrams from Matthew L. Schwartz dated 02/02/2017 re: Written Order Denying Motion Document filed by Devon Archer. (Attachments: # 1 Notice of Appeal)(Schwartz, Matthew) (Entered: 02/02/2017) |
| 02/03/2017 | 140 | ORDER as to Jason Galanis, Gary Hirst, John Galanis, Hugh Dunkerley, Michelle Morton, Devon Archer, Bevan Cooney. On or about December 28, 2016, the Government sought, and Magistrate Judge Moses issued, a search warrant for electronic data pertaining to several email accounts, including accounts associated with Defendants Devon Archer and Bevan Cooney. See Dkt. 128 at 1; Dkt. 130 at 1. The warrant was served on at least two service providers: Google and Apptix. See Dkt. 130 at 1. Before making a production pursuant to the warrant, Google notified Archer and Cooney and provided them with redacted copies of the warrant. See Dkt. 126 at 1; Dkt. 128 at 1. After receiving notice from Google, Archer and Cooney filed motions (the "Initial Motions to Stay") asking the Court to (1) compel the Government to provide them with unredacted copies of the warrant and supporting application and (2) stay the execution of the warrant while Archer and Cooney decided whether to file motions to quash. See Dkt. 126 at 1; Dkt. 128 at 1. On January 30, 2017, the Government agreed to provide the warrant and application to all defense counsel in the case, and disclosed that Apptix had already made a production pursuant to the warrant of materials from an email account associated with Archer. See Dkt. 130 at 1-2. The Court held a conference on January 31, 2017 to discuss the Initial Motions to Stay. During the conference, Archer modified his Initial Motion to Stay to request that the Court also enjoin the Government from reviewing the contents of the Apptix production pending a potential motion to quash. The Court denied the Initial Motions to Stay on the record, but ordered any production by Google and review by the Government of the Apptix production to be held in abeyance to allow for the instant motions. The Court assumes familiarity with the Court's ruling. On February 1, 2017, Archer and Cooney filed motions to stay the Court's January 31 ruling pending appeal (the "Motions to Stay Pending Appeal"), Dkts. 132-33, which the Court now denies. In determining whether to grant such a stay, a court must weigh "the likelihood of success on the merits, irreparable injury if a stay is denied, substantial injury to the party opposing a stay if one is issued, and the public interest." Mohammed v. Reno, 309 F.3d 95, 100 (2d Cir. 2002). Having weighed these factors, the Court concludes that a stay is not warranted. For the reasons stated in the Government's opposition to the Motions to Stay Pending Appeal, Archer and Cooney have not demonstrated a likelihood of success on the merits. See Dkt. 134 at 2-6. As the Court's January 31 ruling made clear, this Court will not mandate that the Government cease its investigation and trial preparation with respect to the materials from Google and Apptix while Archer and Cooney decide whether to challenge the search warrant. Moreover, appellate jurisdiction is, at best, uncertain. The Court also finds that any injury that Archer and Cooney may suffer in the absence of a stay is speculative, and not irreparable. The alleged injury to Archer and Cooney is the Government's potential misuse of privileged or other non-responsive materials, which is not actual and imminent, especially where, as here, the Government has committed to adhere to procedures designed to avoid such harm. See id. at 6-7. Should Archer and Cooney determine at a later date that the Government has encountered privileged or other non-responsive materials, they can seek to suppress those materials, request a taint hearing, or even ask the Court to disqualify members of the Government team who encountered the materials. The harm to the opposing party and public interest factors also weigh against a stay. The Sixth Amendment and the Speedy Trial Act recognize the interest of the public and criminal defendants in the prompt resolution of criminal cases. See U.S. Const. amend. VI; 18 U.S.C. ยง 3161 et seq. Halting the Government's review of the materials sought by the warrant would delay the Government's investigation, and, quite possibly, this entire case. The Court is also wary of setting a precedent that could unduly hinder the timely prosecution of future cases. The Initial Motions to Stay are denied for the reasons previously stated on the record, and the Motions to Stay Pending Appeal are denied for the reasons set forth in this order. The Court will, however, allow Archer and Cooney seventy-two hours to seek a stay pending appeal from the Second Circuit. See, e.g., Diorinou v. Mezitis, 237 F.3d 133, 138 (2d Cir. 2001). The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to close the motions pending at Docket Numbers 132 and 133. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Ronnie Abrams on 2/3/2017)(bw) (Entered: 02/03/2017) |

Appellants move to stay the district court's denial of a motion to block production and review of records from their email service providers. The Government opposes and moves to file an oversized brief and dismiss the appeals for lack of appellate jurisdiction. This Court has determined that it lacks jurisdiction over these appeals because a final order has not been issued by the district court as contemplated by 28 U.S.C. ยง 1291. See Flanagan v. United States, 465 U.S. 259, 263 (1984). Upon due consideration, it is hereby ORDERED that the Government's motions are GRANTED, and the appeals are DISMISSED.

| 03/08/2018 | 335 | ORDER as to Jason Galanis, Gary Hirst, John Galanis, Hugh Dunkerley, Michelle Morton, Devon Archer, Bevan Cooney. On March 5, 2018, the government moved to amend the superseding indictment to change the year during which Ms. Morton is alleged to have directed the use of Atlantic funds to purchase the fourth bond issuance, which, the government contends, would simply be correcting a typographical error. ECF No. 331. Mr. Archer objects to the proposed amendment on the basis that it violates the Fifth Amendment right to indictment by a grand jury. ECF No. 333. The government is correct that the Court "may make 'ministerial changes' to the indictment, such as to correct a misnomer or typographical errors." United States v. Dhinsa, 243 F.3d 635, 667 (2d Cir. 2001). Nonetheless, in an exercise of caution, the Court deems it appropriate for the proposed alteration to be made by the grand jury. Accordingly, the government's motion is denied. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to terminate the motion pending at docket entry 331. SO ORDERED.

| 05/09/2018 | 445 | ORDER as to Jason Galanis, Gary Hirst, John Galanis, Hugh Dunkerley, Michelle Morton, Devon Archer, Bevan Cooney. As the parties are aware, the government filter team provided for in camera review the communications that are the subject of the trial team's motion to invoke the crime-fraud exception to attorney-client privilege. For the reasons that follow, the Court has identified a subset of 23 emails which are subject to the crime-fraud exception and should accordingly be disclosed to the government trial team....[See this Order]... Each of these 23 communications was made in order to effect Rosemont Seneca Bohai's acquisition of the second tranche of bonds. These emails show the alleged conspirators finalizing the necessary paperwork for Mr. Archer to purchase the bonds, as well as arranging for the transfer of the funds necessary to complete the purchase on Rosemont Seneca Bohai's behalf. A critical allegation in this matter with respect to Mr. Archer is that he purchased this second tranche using misappropriated proceeds from the first issuance, which were supplied by Jason Galanis. Accordingly, the following documents are not privileged and should be disclosed to the government trial team: entries 56-59, 69-72, and 74 on the initial crime-fraud log and entries 32-35, 39-42, 55, and 59-63 on the supplemental log.

| 06/11/2018 | 505 | ORDER as to Jason Galanis, Gary Hirst, John Galanis, Hugh Dunkerley, Michelle Morton, Devon Archer, Bevan Cooney. Pending before the Court is the government's renewed motion to preclude the defendants from cross-examining Mr. Raines on the issue of payday lending. The Court previously ruled that, in light of the reasonable, though disputed, belief that such lending is legal, cross-examination on this topic is not probative of any witness's character for truthfulness. In cross-examining Tim Anderson, however, counsel for John Galanis asked about the WLCC's online lending business and tried to specifically elicit the fact that payday lending is another phrase used to refer to such businesses. The Court will not alter its prior ruling. Mr. Galanis has, however, shown a good-faith basis for cross-examining Mr. Raines on various acts associated with the WLCC's lending business. Accordingly, Mr. Galanis may inquire as to these specific alleged acts of misconduct that are probative of Mr. Raines' character for truthfulness. But this ruling has several important restrictions: the defendants (1) may not elicit the fact that the WLCC or Mr. Raines are engaged specifically in online or payday lending as opposed to lending more generally; (2) may not inquire about any lawsuits or complaints, the basis of which is that payday lending itself is illegal or otherwise predatory and (3) any acts inquired of must be attributed to Mr. Raines rather than another individual who is associated with the same entity as Mr. Raines. Finally, and as the government conceded in its letter of June 4th, the defendants may inquire as to any purported misstatements relating to the association between the WLCC and the Oglala Sioux Tribe, so long as the WLCC's participation in online or payday lending is not elicited. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Ronnie Abrams on 6/9/2018)(bw) (Entered: 06/11/2018) |

| 06/11/2018 | 509 | ORDER as to Jason Galanis, Gary Hirst, John Galanis, Hugh Dunkerley, Michelle Morton, Devon Archer, Bevan Cooney: Pending before the Court is the government's motion to exclude excerpts of a conversation between Mr. Cooney and another individual, Billy Crafton. The Court will admit some, though not all, of the portions of the conversation identified by Mr. Archer and Mr. Cooney. The Court will not, however, allow the government to introduce the remaining portions identified in its moving papers, which concern Cooney's "pump-and-dump methodology, [including] the need to control all of the freely trading shares of such stock, [and] his efforts to engage in such tactics with respect to shares of Flikdate," as well as Crafton's "offer to assist in such schemes by parking shares with [Crafton's] investment advisory clients in return for a kickback." ECF No. 441, at 16. Particularly in light of the Court's ruling that evidence of the alleged Code Rebel pump-and-dump is inadmissible, this evidence is of scant probative value, which would be substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice.
