SDNY COURTHOUSE, August 30 – Glenn B. Laken was convicted in the so-called "Mob on Wall Street" trial in 2002. On August 30, 2022, he reappeared in the same court, on another fraud indictment in Federal court in Georgia. 

  On August 30, 2022 U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Magistrate Judge Jennifer E. Willis held an in-person proceeding. Inner City Press went and covered it, the only media in the Mag court. 

  Laken has been named in a 20-count indictment this month in the Northern District of Georgia. The US Attorney for the SDNY agreed to a bond of $50,000, with travel to Illinois, where he lives, Georgia, New Jersey - and Pennsylvania, to use the Philadelphia airport. 

 The NDGA indictment links Laken to "Good Gaming.. which purportedly offering an online tournament gaming platform." It and a parallel SEC complaint allege that fraudsters from Canada and elsewhere hacked and hijacked investors accounts to trade in cannabis and, yes, gaming penny stocks. Plus ca change.

 Laken's New York counsel, in 2000 and now, corrected the 5(f) notice and said that part of the earlier judgment against Laken was reversed by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.  

Laken's SDNY case was US v. Laken, 00-cr-632 (Pauley); there should soon be a Magistrates Court docket number. The Georgia case is US v. Laken, 22-cr-283 (N.D. GA)
