Nice! In the Chuck Person indictment it was CW-1. UC-1 is a very different animal. This is likely a Group 1 Undercover Operation. Look up what that entails... no small undertaking.

No....I believe they had a Cooperating Witness (named as "CW-1") bring $15k. Very different!

Si senor.

I have only read the Chuck Person indictment so far, but I have yet to see ANY mention of an undercover agent being utilized; only cooperating witnesses.

Let's just say I have more in common with the windshield, not the bug. ;)

Well...I have no way of knowing, but you certainly anything is possible when the kimchee hits the fan. But, probably not.

By the way guys, if you haven't surmised or have any legal questions, I know my way around this arena reasonably well ;)

AND HERE IT IS: https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/press-release/file/998746/download What I'm seeing so far: The affiant is SA John Vouderis; a young agent who was local ADA until 2015. That means that he is NOT the primary case agent. It is common to use a member of the case team who will not testify as the affiant for charging documents. Three AUSAs on the indictment - that means it is a major resource effort. Statutes charged are broad in nature: Mail Fraud, Wire Fraud (+ deprivation of honest services wire fraud), Travel Act, etc. Having now skimmed the entire Chuck Person indictment, there does NOT appear to be an undercover introduction. It seems that the key to the matter is the CW, a "handler" who was flipped. CW-1 is more than likely looking at a criminal information once the case is resolved.

I would anticipate that the statutes charged will be Title 18, U.S.C. sections 1341 and 1343. WIll be interesting to see if there were exclusively confidential witnesses used, or if an undercover agent was introduced to the scenario. The CWs will indicate they they 'flipped' industry insiders, who then made consensual recordings at the behest of the case team. Those CWs will likely be in a position where they also have criminal exposure and take a minor hit. If there is an agent who was introduced as an undercover, that testimony will likely be far more airtight.

Well, it certainly could, but the Bureau is unlikely to have worked jointly with NCAA investigators, so the NCAA would be at least six months behind in attempting to put their case together. Additionally, if the Federal Grand Jury 6E list does not include the NCAA investigative staff, the NCAA will not have access to subpoenaed documents, ie: bank accounts until they are public, trial records. DON'T mistake a press release from the US Attorneys Office which cites/thanks the NCAA's cooperation as an indicator that the NCAA will have access to key case materials.

It will be interesting to see what federal statutes have been charged. "Corruption" statutes are specific-term of art statutes only applicable to government officials; so those statutes will not be the charging mechanism. More likely that mail fraud/wire fraud statutes have been applied..."artifice or scheme to defraud" using (either) interstate wires or the US Mail.

Cody: high end big men are harder to find, and Cody was far more important for recruiting. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I'm not in the camp that Cody was a program savior on the court, but in my opinion, comparing his performance to Pritchard or Perea is just plain silly. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Have at it boys!

Hey guys; gonna start a "Cody Zeller Importance" thread. Keep this thread Romeo-ish please!

Is it just me, or does it kinda seem like Romeo's visits are conveniently coinciding with the NCAA college football game of the week! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Romeo is the #5 ranked recruit nationally. Darius is the #9 ranked recruit nationally. Both were born and largely raised in Indiana. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

UK just pulled in Immanuel Quickly, a 5* pg- the #2 pg in the 2018 class. They already have two pgs on their roster as freshmen this year, and neither is thought to be a one and done. Garland to UK? Nope. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners
