Apparently, the DOJ cites prison instances towards Krstic and DeMarr. These we knew about however additionally they point out an “ongoing grand jury investigation”.
Grand Jury proceedings are held in secret so we’re not getting any particulars until no matter is being investigated performs out.
Defendants shouldn’t be permitted to make use of discovery within the Civil Case to keep away from the restrictions on prison discovery that may in any other case apply within the Legal Case.

Trying ahead, regardless of the SEC’s case being stayed, they’ve pushed for permission to serve Krstic by way of e-mail and/or publication.
In an April 14th movement the SEC acknowledged;
