U.S. District Court Eastern District of New York (EDNY) courtroom saw significant developments today as the Department of Justice pushed forward with charges against Ortiz Ribera in connection with fraudulent trading activities. According to court filings, Clase de la Cruz's investigation has uncovered documentation of at least 250 pitches involving placed bets—a substantial evidence cache that underscores the scale of alleged manipulation. The judge encouraged prosecutors to expedite discovery disclosure to the defense, signaling the case's momentum. This marks another escalation in the government's crackdown on manipulative trading schemes within crypto markets, highlighting how authorities are intensifying enforcement actions against market participants engaged in questionable pitch-and-bet operations.
