There you will see who got stuck holding the bag with how many shares when the BLTA investment tanked in late 2018.

The saddest part is that the team at that time had a letter from a prospective investor (E.H. - with assets worth over $300 million in the Bahamas) pledging $80 million to finally make BLTA (or at that time, US Global Airways) a reality.

It is a shame that an article linking a Baltia investor and his personal issues put a damper on E.H. moving forward.

"For the reasons discussed above, the government respectfully requests that the Court impose a sentence within the Guidelines range of 63-78 months’ imprisonment to be followed by two years’ supervised release, as well as a forfeiture money judgment of $253,191 and a restitution order of $593,600.32."

Deflect, deflect, deflect...

"Mr. Drago most respectfully requests that this Court impose a sentence of no more than 6 months in jail, i.e., a sentence below the recommended Guidelines sentence and consider alternatives to incarceration."

"He has led a lawful life other than the crimes at issue."

"As referenced in Mr. Drago’s objections to the PSR, Mr. Drago denies that he was “involved” in a securities-fraud related scheme involving Baltia Airlines (“Baltia”). The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) conducted a civil investigation involving Baltia. The SEC never charged Mr. Drago. According to attorney Stefanie J. Lewis, who represented Baltia, the SEC did not interview Mr. Drago during the investigation. The SEC charged an individual named Barry Clare, a Baltia officer, with being an unregistered representative seller of Baltia common stock to investors. Clare settled with the SEC. Mr. Drago was a large investor in Baltia. No one involved in the SEC’s Baltia investigation was charged criminally. Ultimately, as with all Baltia investors, Mr. Drago’s own investment became worthless."

To say nothing of what he and his 'trading group' sold, while claiming to hold.

The Baltia Whale is traveling again, this time to Virginia to attend a sermon.

He's gonna need all the prayers he can get.

The defendant, John Drago, by counsel, submits this letter seeking a modification of Mr.
Drago’s bail conditions to permit him to travel to Williamsburg and Fredericksburg, Virginia, from
August 19, 2022, through August 25, 2022, to visit friends and attend a sermon.
If permitted to travel, Mr. Drago and his family would stay at the Vacation Village in
Williamsburg, located at 4870 Long Hill Road. He would also spend one day, on August 21, 2022,
in Fredericksburg, attending a church service.
Mr. Drago has informed his Probation Officer, Agent Mallori Brady, and AUSA Bradley
King of his travel plans. AUSA King and Agent Brady have consented to Mr. Drago’s travel.

Mr. Drago’s nephew's wedding will take place on June 4th in the Dominican Republic. It is a destination wedding, and the family will be arriving as early as June 1st and leaving as late as June 12th."

[Tiresias]

Lol-I was being sarcastic. Drago is a Trump supporter and vowed to leave New York State after this is over and no I g to a more Mepublican state. The judge deciding his fate is Mepublican appointed as his the appointee versus the devotee. Trump cares only for himself and would gladly sell out those closest to him for gain then call it fake news. The only difference between right wing Mepublicans and Putin supporters is the language. Drago probably admires Putin and would use that to get Baltia in the air.

[mysterymeat]

He was originally nominated for the position by Obama in 2015. When that nomination expired in 2017, Chuck Schumer recommended him to Trump. Trump nominated him in 2018, when that didn't go through for whatever reasons, Trump re-nominated him in 2019 and the Senate approved his nomination.
Trump has more than enough of his own legal issues going on to be concerned about anyone else's. And I highly doubt Trump has ever heard of Drago.

If he gets incarcerated

I don't think incarceration, is part of the accepted plea agreement. I would think, if the prosecution were so set on him serving time, he would already be doing that. His mother's house can be sold whether he is incarcerated, or not.

[Tiresias]

Considering the complaints made by the convicted, this judge was appointed by his hero, Donald Trump. If he gets incarcerated is the honeymoon over? Will one appointee not incarcerate the devotee?

[Tiresias]

I do hope that after his sentencing, if he is incarcerated, that his family does not pay too severe a price and when he is released he has the opportunity to move forward with his life, and life with his family. It is always the innocents who pay as dear a price as the convicted, and sometimes more because they no longer feel empowered to be of assistance. Sincerely I hope the best for him and his family once this is all behind him.

I wonder what is relevant regarding his military service to this case? Or would it somehow be considered relevant to the sentencing because of his character? Lack of moral conduct or violations of the military code of conduct? Opinions?

[LongTimeObserver]

Time to fry the baloney, bowler, pitchmen, et al.

[kayakzz]

LTO:

LT is clearly working for the government, I have been involved with 500+ felony sentencings and I have never seem one get dragged out like this one. Additionally, the explanations don't make sense and sure as hell are not the way the system works. The letter reflects a deal that appears to have been worked out prior to the letter being drafted. Those "off the record" arraignments are not that unusual but in my experience, only happen when when something significant is developing that absolutely can't be identified in the court file. I say this all because there is some hope that he is helping bag the Baltia crooks.

[LongTimeObserver]

Giving him enough rope to …

But he has money to fly out of country to attend a wedding. Maybe that money should go towards paying the settlement and attend the wedding over Zoom.

Re: United States of America v. John Drago, 18-CR-394-GRB-AYS-1

Dear Judge Brown:

We represent John Drago, who is scheduled to be sentenced by Your Honor on July 8, 2022. With the consent of the Government, we respectfully move to adjourn the sentencing to Friday, October 21, 2022, if that date is convenient to the Court.

Mr. Drago is in the process of selling a family home, which will not occur until after the July sentencing date, and the proceeds of said sale will go towards restitution in this matter. In addition, the later sentencing date will provide counsel for Mr. Drago with necessary time to prepare his response to the Probation Report. As mentioned above, the Government consents to this request.

Thank you for your attention to this matter."

On thing I always detested about the criminal justice system (state and federal) is hanging some schmuck out to dry because they asserted their constitutional rights pretrial. However, that being said, almost all prosecutors and judges disagree with me on that point.

I don't think the Baltia Whale will find his way to the courtroom for his sentencing. However, if he does, he is going to the big house for sure....and he will end up getting classified for mid level security.

The other thing is the Baltia Whale has always left a trail on the internet....he won't be hard to track down.

"May 27, 2022

United States v. John Drago
18-CR-394 (S-1)(GRB)

Dear Judge Brown:

The government writes in response to the United States Department of Probation’s May 17, 2022 Presentence Investigation Report (“PSR”) concerning the above captioned case. Paragraph 28 of the PSR incorrectly deducts one point from the defendant’s Total Offense Level based upon the defendant’s “timely acceptance of responsibility.” (See PSR at ¶ 28 (citing U.S.S.G. § 3E1.1(b)). As set forth in the parties’ Plea Agreement, however, the government will not be making a motion for an additional point deduction.

This is because the government expended significant effort in preparing for trial in this case, including litigating the admissibility of more than 250 exhibits in two complex pre-trial suppression hearings.

In addition, the PSR contains inaccurate information concerning the defendant’s military record. (See PSR at ¶62). To provide the Court with correct information concerning the defendant’s time in the military, the government will be filing an additional letter and documents obtained from the United States Army under seal."

Rain or shine, party on!

Does Belize have an extradition treaty with the US? Belize is a corrupt regime favorable to those who wish to defraud. So many schemes like BLTA hatched in Belize but many of those were real estate frauds but it could serve some well. And English is the first language in Belize and many many Norte Americanos travel there making them ripe for picking.

[kayakzz]

Will LT be a good guy with a gun or a bad guy with a gun? I guess with that felony conviction, he would have to go and stay in another country to be a good guy with a gun.... I am guessing he ends up in Ecuador. It would be a good choice, no extradition and decent wifi to run some new scams.
