SDNY COURTHOUSE, Jan 6 – A businesswoman is charged with using her company, Kalder, to commit fraud in connection with her model of embedding cash-back and rewards programs directly into the websites of clients, including for example two Brazilian sports teams.

She had a proceeding on January 6 before U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Lewis A. Kaplan. Inner City Press was there.

The AUSA describe a laptop extraction so big it cannot be viewed on government computers, and subpoenas out to the two Brazilian teams. The defendant is a Turkish national, she said, necessitating interpretation beyond Google Translate. Also, the defendant’s company and its law firm are being slow in complying with a grand jury subpoena.

The defense opposed any exclusion of time under the Speedy Trial Act. Judge Kaplan called it a serious motion - and for that reason said he would exclude time until the motion is decided.
