A couple of week in the past we observed a bond listening to schedule seem on Mark Scott’s OneCoin case docket.
What the listening to pertains to or why it was scheduled was not disclosed.
We’re nonetheless not 100% certain why the listening to has been known as, however a current submitting suggests the DOJ is pushing for modifications to Scott’s present bail situations.
Scott’s bond listening to was initially scheduled for February twenty fifth.
Owing to a “pre-scheduled medical appointment” for a non-publicly disclosed situation, Scott (proper) requested a reschedule on February 18th.
On February nineteenth the movement was granted, and a brand new bond listening to has been scheduled for February twenty sixth.
In his authentic letter request, Scott additionally requested the court docket to order the DOJ
make a submission no later than Friday, February 21, 2020, setting forth its arguments for any change in bail situations.
That a part of the request was denied. The DOJ are nonetheless free to make a submitting however provided that they want to take action.
As on the time of publication, the DOJ hasn’t made any such filings.
The extra vital take-away is that the bond listening to seems to have been scheduled on the DOJ’s request, with the intention of creating modifications to Scott’s present bail situations.
Final September Scott’s bond was set at $2.5 million {dollars}. He was launched underneath residence detention.
Except there’s one thing I’m lacking, I can’t see the DOJ requesting a listening to until Scott hasn’t been adhering to set situations.
Could possibly be an attention-grabbing listening to, given $2.5 million is probably on the road.
Keep tuned…
