I don't read it that way.

"In criminal court, a colloquy is an investigation within a defendant's plea to reassure that the plea was given knowingly, voluntarily and intelligently. Defendant needs to understand the charges against him, the penalties that he will face, and his rights before entering into a guilty plea. "

I believe the prosecution is asking the judge to advise the defendent that he has a fool for an attorney.

From the prosecution,

First, the defendant has expressed his intention to proceed pro se in this matter. The government submits that the Court should colloquy the defendant on this issue at the hearing.

Two other issues are outstanding. First, the defendant has expressed his intention to proceed pro se in this matter

After reading through all this new info/discovery/motions.
I'm starting to think the pro se is just a ploy to be used as a reason for appeal after conviction.

These people including Matt brown founder of IHUB seem to have been operating a massive pump and dump operation. Actively marketing to pink companies in mass their underground promotional services.

I doubt he is dumb enough to go to trial pro se after the colloquy which will kill the ploy he is trying to use. He obviously has had legal help in preparing his motions and is MOB connected. He'll have a lawyer at trial.

The interesting part is the mob connected guy is the only one doing anything with their case at the moment. That makes me wonder if the rest of the crew has flipped on him and cut deals with the feds.
