Dear Sir:
A non-custodial sentence in the above-captioned matter
was imposed by the Hon. Garrett Brown on August 4, 1986. My
client's Passport has been held pursuant to the terms of the
bail. That bail has now been exonerated, and therefore I
would appreciate it if the Passport would be returned to me
for my client.
If there is anything further I must do to secure the
Passport, please advise.

THE COURT: The United States versus Sten Lundager.


2 Appearing for the United States?
3
MR. BROWN: Your Honor, my name is Thomas A. Brown,
4 I'm Assistant United States Attorney.
5
MR. BERNSTEIN: Your Honor, Roger Bernstein on behalf
6 of Mr . Lu ndager .
7
THE COURT: Now, I have received an extensive pretrial
a report here -- presentence report. And I have received your

9 memorandum, Mr. Bernstein, and the character letters, et

10 cetera, that you have submitted. This is a pre-guideline case,


11 is that correct?

12 MR. BERNSTEIN: That's correct, your Honor.

13 THE COURT: The defendant has been incarcerated since


14 August 21st, is that correct?
15
MR. BERNSTEIN: That's correct, your Honor.
16
THE COURT: Which is a little bit under four months, I
17 suppose.
18
MR. BERNSTEIN: Yes. My calculation is that today is
19 the 119th day, if you count the date of arrest.

~ THE COURT: Hundred and nineteenth day.

21 MR. BERNSTEIN: I sat down this morning and added 30

~ for September, 31 for October, 30 for November and so forth,

~ Judge, and it's one day short of four months, that's right.
24
THE COURT: Well, I've consider his role in the

~ offense, as well as his conduct before and afterward. I don't


3

believe he's had any other involvement with the criminal law,
2 is that correct?

3 MR. BERNSTEIN: That's correct, your Honor.


4 THE COURT: Before or since.

5 MR. BERNSTEIN: That's correct, your Honor.

6 THE COURT: His role in this case was preparing money


7 on three occasions for the principals.

a MR. BERNSTEIN: That's correct.

9 THE COURT: My view, at this time, is to impose a term


10 of imprisonment for four years on the condition he be confined

11 to jail for 119 days under the split sentence provision of the

12 law before the guidelines with full credit for time served.

13 Execution of the remainder of the sentence of imprisonment

14 suspended and place him on probation for five years. And, of

15 course, whether he has an arrangement between the U.S.

16 Government and the Danish Government concerning probation, I

17 leave in counsel's hands. And given his financial condition,

1a not to impose a fine, other than the special assessment.

19 But before I rule, I will be happy to hear from you,

~ your client, and the Government, if you wish.


21
MR. BERNSTEIN: Your Honor, I firmly believe there is

22 absolutely nothing I can say in response to anything you have

~ said, and I have no words to change your mind or, in any

~ direction on anything that you have said.


25
I have only one very technical issue to raise, having
4

reviewed the Statute that concerns transfer between countries,


2 which I will tell you I've never --
3
THE COURT: I don't know that I can necessarily

4 address that one way or the other. I can place him on

5 probation, and then I believe it's between the Attorney General


6 and the designated 'representative of DenmaY- k.
7
MR. BERNSTEIN: That's 99 and half percent co1rect.
8 But undey- Section 4104(F), YOUY- Honor, the Attorney
General
9 requires your formal consent to that process, and I
have
10 prepared an order embodying what I --
11 THE COURT: So ordered.
12 MR. BERNSTEIN: And I'll
13 THE COURT: So ordered.

L.•.. -
14 MR. BERNSTEIN: -- pass it up to --
15 THE COURT: MY-. Lu ndage1~ 's been in Denmark for some

16 time now, I'm suY-e he'd like to go back.


17
MR. LUNDAGER: Vey-y much so, your Honor. Vey-y much
18 so.

19
THE COURT: All Y-ight. Now, Mi. Lundager, do you wish

~ to be heard before I impose sentence upon you?


21 MR. LUNDAGER: Yes, youy- Honor.
22 THE COURT: All right, proceed.
23
MR. LUNDAGER: I am very grateful for youy-

~ consideration in this case. And my fiance is here today, she

25 came all the way from Denmark, and we'd like to get married,
5

and continue our lives.


2 Thank you very much, sir.
3
THE COURT: Very well. Does the United States wish to
4 be heard?
5 MR. BROWN: No, your Honor.
6
THE COURT: All right. We know that this is a old
7 case, 83 document number, involves activities significantly

a prior theieto. There's no indication that this defendant was

9 involved in any criminal activities before or since. His

10 involvement in this case was extremely limited. Under the

11 circumstances, it's the judgment of this Court that the

12 defendant is committed to the custody of the Attorney General

13 of the United States, or his authorized representative for

14 imprisonment for a term of four years on condition he be

15 confined to a jail type institution for a period of 119 days,

16 execution of remainder of sentence of imprisonment is hereby

17 suspended. The defendant is placed on probation for of five

1a years to commence upon his release from confinement which, by

19 my calculation, is today, upon the following terms and


w conditions:

21
One, he cannot commit any crime, Federal, State or
~ local.

~ Two, he shall abide by the standard conditions of


24 probation recommended by the Probation Office.

~ Three, that he be required to notify the United States


6

Probation Office prior to any return by the defendant to the

2 United States if he is granted a transfer of supervision

3 pursuant to the convention on transfer of sentence prisoners.

4 It is further ordered that he is assessed a $50

s Special Assessment Fee payable immediately.

6 Given the defendant's financial situation, no fine is


7 imposed.

a Now, you have given me a form of order here, Mr.


9 Bernstein.
10 MR. BERNSTEIN: Yes, Judge.
11
THE COURT: And the United States does not oppose that
12 transfer, is that correct?
13 MR. BROWN: That's correct, your Honor.
14
THE COURT: All right. Nor do I. So ordered.

1s MR. BERNSTEIN: Your Honor, my recollection is that


16 one of the standard conditions of probation requires and

11 you'll correct me where may recollection may be wrong

1a requires that Mr. Lundager remain in this District -- and then

19 this is the part I don't remember whether the Probation

w Officer, alone, can give him permission to travel outside the

21 District of New Jersey. He needs to go to New York, of course,

22 to take care of his personal affairs and leave the United


~ States.

~ THE COURT: Very well.

~ MR. BERNSTEIN: That's my application.


7

THE COURT: So ordered.

2 MR. BERNSTEIN: All right. Thank you.

3 THE COURT: Counsel will promptly prosecute this


4 request for transfer of supervision?
5
MR. BERNSTEIN: Yes, Judge. I'm not quite sure if I
6 have to do anything more than the -- I -- I believe with that

7 order, the Government is allowed to consent, and I believe Mr.

a Enduty (phonetic) is now allowed to permit him to leave to

e Denmark. I don"t know that the Attorney General has to contact


10 the Danish Government --

11 THE COURT: Okay.


12 MR. BERNSTEIN: for this. I'm not -- I don't --
13 THE COURT: Is that correct? Do we need the consent
14 of the Danish Government beforehand?
15 MR. BERNSTEIN: I don't think
16 MR. BROWN: I don't know, your Honor.
17
MR. BERNSTEIN: I think it's only needed for transfer

1a of custody, but not for transfer of supervision. Because I've


1e looked at 4107(F) and 4104. And 4107 --
20
THE COURT: Does the United States have any objection

21 to -- after he pays his Special Assessment and is released to

~ his leaving for Denmark, and the Danish, if it wishes, to

n assume supervision over him?


24 MR. BROWN: No objection, your Honor.
25 THE COURT: Very well. Thank you, Counsel.
8

MR. BERNSTEIN: Thank you, Judge.


2
MR. BROWN: Thank you, your Honor.
3
MR. BERNSTEIN: And, your Honor, I wanted to also say
4 on behalf of Mr. Lundager and his family, that they are

5 grateful to the Court for advancing this on the calendar prior

6 to Christmas and squeezing it in, because I see how busy you


7 are with the other cases that are here. And so I know -- I
a speak on their behalf in thanking you.
9
THE COURT: Very well. Thank you.

Re: Plea Agreement with Keith Mattes C <f ~-3- )9 q S


Dear Mr. Silber:

This letter sets forth the full and complete plea


agreement between Keith Mattes and the United States Attorney
for the District of New Jersey.

Based upon the understanding specified below, the


United States will accept a guilty plea from Keith Mattes to
Count one of Indictment No. 83-199. That count charges a
violation of 21 u.s.c. Section 846, carrying a maximum sentence
of five years and a $15,000 fine. The United States will, at
the time of sentencing in the above-captioned matter, move to
dismiss the remaining count against Keith Mattes. If Mattes
enters a guilty plea and is sentenced on this charge, the
United States will bring no further charges against Mattes
relating to any allegations of drug offenses between Mattes and
Steven Malone, Gosta Ferneborg, and Joseph Margarite between
1978 and February 1981.

It is understood that the sentence to be imposed upon


Keith Mattes is within the sole discretion of the sentencing
Judge. This Office cannot and does not make any promise or
representation as to what sentence Keith Mattes will receive
nor will it recommend any specific disposition. However, this
Office will inform the sentencing Judge and the Probation
Department of: (1) this agreement; (2) the nature and extent of
Keith Mattes' activities with respect to this case and others;
and (3) all other information, favorable or otherwise, in its
possession relevant to sentence. It is understood that the
United States specifically reserves the right to correct
factual misstatements relating to sentencing proceedings and to
oppose any application by Keith Mattes for a reduction of
sentence pursuant to Rule 35, Federal Rules of Criminal
Procedure.
- 2 -

It is further understood that this agreement is


limited to the United States Attorney's Office for the District
of New Jersey and cannot bind other federal, state or local
prosecuting authorities, although this Office will bring this
agreement to the attention of other prosecuting offices, if
requested.

Finally, it is understood that this agreement was


reached without regard to any civil matters that may be pending
or may arise involving Keith Mattes, including, but not limited
to, proceedings by the Internal Revenue Service relating to
potential civil tax liability.

No additional promises, agreements and conditions have


been entered into other than those set forth in this letter and
none will be entered into unless in writing and signed by all
parties.

Very truly yours,

W. HUNT DUMONT
Un~ted States Attorney

I have received this letter from my attorney,

victed unless a;I.l twelve jurors voted unanimously for conviction.
13. My lawyer has·discussed with me, and I understand, that if I went
to trial on these charges, the Government would have to produce .in open
court the witnesses against me, and that my lawyer could confront and
cross-examine them and object to evidence offered by the Government.
·14. My lawyer has further explained to me, and I understand, that I
have the -right to pro~uce witnesses and could offer evidence in my defen
at a trial on these charges, and that I would have the right, if I so
chose, to testify on my own behalf at that tria·l; but if I chose not to
testify, the jury could draw no suggestion or inference of guilt from
that fact. · . ·
15. My lawyer has explained to me, and I understa~d, that if I plead
GUI~TY to any charge (@Q), in this !ndictment +InE· ,cn,~-r). and the judge
accepts my plea, I WAIVE MY RIGHT TO TR.I.AL AND THE OTHER RIGHTS SET FORTJ
IN PARAGRAPHS 11, 12, 13 and 14 ABOVE. I-am aware and understand that
if my GUILTY plea is accepted, there will be no trial and a judgment of
GUILTY will be entered after which the judge, upon consideration of my
~ presentence report, will impose punishment upon me. I understand that
if I plead GUIL~Y, the judge may impose the same punishment as if I had
pleaded "not guilty", went to trial and was-convicted by a jtiry.
16. My lawyer has also explained to me, and I- ·understand, that if I
plead GUILTY, I WAIVE MY RIGHT NOT TO INCRIMINATE MYSELF. I understand
that the judge ·will ask me what I did and I wil-1 have to acknowledge my
guilt as charged by setting .forth my actions so that.the judge is satis-
fied that I am, indeed, guilty. I understand that any statements I make
:::::: ::: at _the tim~ I plead GUILTY, if untrue and made. under oath, can be· the __.
basis of-~ perjury prosecution against.me.
17. My lawyer has informed me, and I understand, that the maximum
punishment which_ the law provides for the offenses charged in this
Incic-i::r.1ent (·IT1fo£m1J.t;ioa) is: ..... _

that.person is not-telling me the truth. ·
19. I hereby declare that I have not been forced, coerced or

I, PHILIP R. SELLINGER, being duly sworn, hereby

depose and say:


1. I am an Assistant United States Attorney for the

District of New Jersey and have been so employed since 1981.


In this capacity, I have been assigned to prosecute the above

captioned action.
2. Defendant Wong has been charged in a 7 count

indictment charging him with conspiracy to import and

distribute, and the importation and distribution, of cocaine

and thai sticks in violation of 21 u.s.c. §841, 846, 848, 952

and 963.

3. The Government intends to subpoena records of

T.R.W., a credit agency, pursuant to F.R.Cr.P. 17(c). T.R.W.

will not produce these records without a Court Order. The

documents sought are evidentary and relevant. They will help

present to the jury a complete financial picture of defendant


- 2 -

Wong and will help corroboroate important aspects of the

Government's case. They are not otherwise procurable

reasonably in advance of trial by the exercise of due

diligence; the Government cannot properly prepare for trial


without such production and inspection in advance of trial.

Production of such records on November 4, 1983, rather than on

the date of trial, will prevent the interruption and delay of

trial. Further, the re~ords are sought in good faith. See

United States v. Cuthbertson, 630 F.2d 139, 145 (3d Cir. 1980),

cert. denied, 449 U.S. 1126 (1981). Accordingly, the

Government respectfully requests that an Order be entered

directing the production of such records on November 4, 1983,

pursuant to F.R. Cr.P. 17(c).

ALLYN Z. LITE
I, PHILIP R. SELLINGER, being duly sworn, hereby

depose and say:

1. I am an Assistant United States Attorney for the

District of New Jersey and have been so employed since 1981.

In this capacity, I have been assigned to prosecute the above

captioned action.

2. Defendant Wong has been charged in a 7 count

indictment charging him with conspiracy to import and

ctistribute, and the importation and distribution, of cocaine

and thai sticks in violation of 21 u.s.c. §841, 846, 848, 952

and 963. The government will prove at trial that Wong used

legitimate businesses to conceal his narcotics-related

activities. The investigation to date has revealed that Wong

has been a principal of, or been involved in, the following

companies: Kelmscott Trading Company; Whetherill Mathieson

Associates, Ltd.; Middle East Realty Construction Company;

International Kal-Sahara Corp.; and International Resources,

Ltd.
- 2 -

3. The Government intends to subpoena records of the

Companies pursuant to F.R.Cr.P. 17(c). The documents sought

are evidentary and relevant. They are not otherwise procurable

reasonably in advance of trial by the exercise of due


diligence; the Government cannot properly prepare for trial

without such proauction and inspection in advance of trial.

Production of such records on October 28, 1983, rather than on

the date of trial, will prevent tne interruption and delay of

trial. Further, the records are sought in good faith. See

United States v. Cuthbertson, 630 F.2d 139, 145 (3d Cir. 1980),

cert. denied, 449 U.S. 1126 (1981). Accordingly, the

Government respectfully requests that an Order be entered

directing the production of such records on October 28, 1983,

pursuant to F.R. Cr.P. 17(c).

ANALYSIS OF THE INDICTMENT

The indictment purports to describe a conspiracy to import and

possess with intent to distribute both marijuana and cocaine. The first named

defendant, Tracy Wong, is charged in the conspiracy, engaging in a continuing

criminal enterprise (count 2), and in each substanitive crime which charges

distribution and possession with the intent to distribute and importation of

either cocaine or marijuana. (Counts 3 through 7) The remaining defend ants

currently scheduled to stand trial - Keith Mattes, Stanley Rogow, and Douglas

Grant - are each charged in the first count, the conspiracy count. Additionally

Keith Mattes and Stanley Rogow are charged in Count 4 _Possession of cocaine

with intent to distribute and distribution.

Paragraph 6 of the first count lists nine instances in which either

cocaine or thai sticks are alleged to have been "purchased, imported, and
attempted to be imported... ". The third instance listed in paragraph 6 count

alleges that fifteen pounds of cocaine was "purchased, imported and attempted

to be imported" from Bogata Colombia in July of 1978. Count 4 of the

indictment alleges that "in or around the middle of July 1978" Tracy Wong,

Keith Mattes, and Stanley Rogow, as well as four others, possessed with intent

to distribute and willfully distributed a quantity of cocaine. The substanitive

charge in count 4 appears to match the third instance of alleged importations

charged in the 6th paragraph of the first count.

The remaining defendants have not yet been brought under the

jurisdiction of this Court, and are not scheduled to be tried on December 5,

1983. An outline of the indictment as it applies to Keith Mattes is set forth

below. He is charged in only two of the seven counts.

-7-
First Count

Eleven defendants (including four who are currently scheduled to

face trial on December 5) are alleged to have conspired from "in or about

June 1977 to at least in or about September 1979 to "Knowingly and intentionally

to distribute and to possess with intent to distribute controlled substances" in

violation of 21 United States Code Section 841 (a) (1). More specific allegations
(paragraphs 3 and 4) of the conspiracy count are that it was part of the

conspiracy that the defendants would "knowingly and intentionally import,

distribute,and possess with intent to distribute" cocaine and marijuana. Nine

separate instances of importation, possession with intent to distribute, and

distribution are alleged as part of the conspiracy (five marijuana instances

and four cocaine instances). The conspiracy is alleged to violate 21 U.S.C.

§846.

Second Count

The second count alleges Tracy Wong (the only defendant named in
this count) violated 21 U.S.C. §848 by engaging in a Continuing Criminal

Enterprise by having committed multiple felony violations of 21 U.S.C. §841

(a)(l), §846, §952 (a), §960, and §963. Tracy Wong is alleged to occupy a

position of organizer supervisor and manager while acting in concert with at

least five other persons.

Third Count

The Third Count alleges that "in or around the middle of July 1978"

Tracy Wong (and four others who are not yet subject to jurisdiction of this

court) "did knowingly and willfully import" cocaine into the United States in

violation of 21 U.S.C. §952(a) and §960. Keith Mattes is not named as defendant

in this count, although it appears that the importation is addressed to the third

instance specified in the sixth paragraph of the first count.

-8-
Fourth Count

The fourth count alleges that 11


in or around the middle of July, 1978,
11
Tracy Wong, Keith Mattes, Stanley Rogow (and four others who have not yet

been subject to the jurisdiction of this court and one defendant who has pleaded

guilty) did 11
knowingly and willfully distribute and possess with intent to

distribute11 cocaine in violation of 21 U.S.C. 841(a)(l).

Fifth Count

The fifth count alleges that 11


in or about the summer of 1978 until

February 197911 Tracy Wong (and five others who have not yet been subject to

the jurisdiction of this court) did 11


knowingly and willfully import" marijuana

in violation of 21 U.S.C. §952(a) and §960. Keith Mattes is not charged in

this count.

Sixth Count

The sixth count alleges that "in or about the summer of 1978 until

February 197911 Tracy Wong (and five others who have not yet been subject to

the jurisdiction of this court) 11 did knowingly and willfully distribute and possess

with intent to distribute11 marijuana in violation of 21 U.S.C. §841 (a)(l). Keith

Mattes is not charged in this Count.

Seventh Count

It is alleged that 11 from in or about the summer of 1978 until February

22, 197911 that Tracy Wong (and five others who have not yet been subject to

the jurisdiction of this court) "did knowingly and willfully attempt to import11

marijuana in violation 21 U.S.C. §952 (a) and §960. Keith Mattes is not charged

in this count.

Thus, it appears that Keith Mattes is charged with being a member

of the conspiracy, and with possessing some portion of the cocaine which is

the 3rd instance in paragraph 6 of the conspiracy count.

-9-

The matters and particulars requested are essential to enable the

defendant to adequately be apprised of the nature and scope of the accusations

against him, as guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment to the Constitution, and

-13-
to have an opportunity to adequately prepare his defenses, to avoid prejudicial

surprise at trial, to clarify the issues and to avoid confusion and delay at

trial, and to enable the defendant to be protected against a second prosecution

for the same offense as guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution.

See Wright, Federal Practice and Procedure: Criminal 2d §129.

The defendant further respectfully moves that this Court direct that
where the Government shall state in its Bill of Particulars that its knowledge

or information is incomplete, the Government shall set forth in its Bill of

Particulars whatever knowledge and information it may have, and shall furnish

further particulars upon obtaining further knowledge or information prior to trial.

-14-
DISCOVERY

Pursuant to F.R. Cr. 16, defendant requests:

(a) the substance of any oral statement of Keith Mattes, if any, which

the government intends to offer at trial.

Pursuant to the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment to the U.S.
Constitution:

(b) Any evidence favorable to the accused which is material either to

guilt or to punishment, and which is within the possession or control of

the attorney for the government, including but not limited to the following

impeaching evidence:

(1) Any and all reports and information revealing a bad character

trait of any intended government witness or informant including but

not limited to his or her arrest or conviction record, whether federal


'
state or local, whether adult or juvenile, and the nature of the

offense;
(2) Any and all consideration or promises of consideration given

to or on behalf of any intended government witness or informant

or expected or hoped for by the witness or informant. By

"consideration" defendant refers to absolutely anything, whether

bargained for or not, which arguably could be of value or use to a

witness or to persons of concern to the witness, including but not

limited to formal or informal direct or indirect: leniency, favorable

treatment or recommendations or other assistance with respect to

any pending or potential criminal, parole, probation, pardon,

clemency, civil, tax court, court of claims, administrative or other

dispute with the government or with any other authority or with

-15-
any other parties, criminal, civil or tax immunity grants; relief from

forfeiture; payments of money, rewards or fees, witness fees and

special witness fees, provision of food, clothing, shelter,

transportation, legal services or other beneifts; placement in a

"witness protection program," informer status of the witness; and

anything else which arguably could reveal an interest, motive or


bias in the witness or informant in favor of the government or

against the defense or act as an inducement to testify or to color

testimony or to act or have acted in cooperation with law


enforcement in this case;

(3) Any and all threats of prosecution on other "inducements,"

express or implied, direct or indirect, or other coercion made or

directed against any intended government witness, or informant,

criminal prosecutions, investigations, or potential prosecutions


pending or which could be brought againsat the witness or informant,

any probationary, parole, deferred rosecution or custodial status of

the witness, and any civil, tax court, court of claims, administrative,

or other pending or potential legal disputes or transactions with the

government or over which the government has real, apparent or

perceived influence;

(4) The existence and identification of each occasion on which

any intended government witness or informant has testified before

any court, grand jury, or other tribunal or body in relation to the

defendant, the investiagion, or the facts of this case. In addition,

the recorded testimony of all such individuals who appeared before

any such court, grand jury or other tribunial or body and if not

recorded, the substances of said testimony, where the testimony

-16-
reflects statements materially inconsistent with statements of other

government witnesses or tends to show that the witness or other

government witnesses concealed or distorted the truth.

(5) Any and all other records and/or information which arguably

could be helpful or useful to the defense in impeaching or otherwise

detracting from the probative force of the government's evidence

or which arguably could lead to such records or information,

including, but not limited to any and all scientific, hospital, medical,

psychiatric, psychological, social work, mental health, drug and/or

alcohol, pre-sentence investigation or other reports which might tend

to reflect on the credibility or competence of any of the prospective

witnesses for the government;

(6) Any applications for Orders of Immunity and Orders of Imunity

for any intended government witness and any informal grants or


promises of immunity to said witness.

(7) Any written statements of government informer Steve Malone

or the substance of any oral statements of Steve Malone which

(a) indicate directly or indrectly that Keith Mattes may not

be guilty of either charge; or

{b) are inconsistent with any material allegations of other

government witness concerning Keith Mattes; or

(c) tend to indicate that Malone and Mattes were not friends

or associates or business associates during any period of time

covered by the indictment; or

(d) tend to disclose that Mattes had no contact with Gasto

(Steller) Ferneborg or Steve Kaufman during any part of the

time covered by the indictment; or

-17-
(e) tended to indicate either directly or indirectly that Keith

Mattes had no knowledge of any scheme to import or of any

upper echelon distribution scheme; or

(8) The same records and information requested in items (1) through

(6) above with respect to each non-witness declarant whose

statements are offered in evidence;

It is well-settled that impeachment evidence may come within the

rule of Brady v. Maryland 373 U.S. 83 (1963) and United States v. Agurs 427

U.S. 97 (1976) if the reliability of the witness may be determinative of the

defendant's guilt or innocence. Giglio v. United States 405 U.S. 150 (1972).
If disclosure of the material is constitutionally mandated, but not

required by Rule 16, the timing of disclosure may be at issue. There is

precedent which gives the court authority to either require early turnover, or

withhold such turnover until trial. This motion for early turnover of impeaching

material is addressed to the sound descretion of the trial court.

It is understood that Joseph Marguarite, Gusto (Steller) (Swede)

Ferneborg, Fred Shapiro and Steven Malone are among the informers to be

called as government witnesses. Thus, at least for them, no secrecy

considerations weigh in favor of a delayed disclosure.

Certainly it is not alleged that Keith Mattes is dangerous or

constitues a threat to any government witness. Only an attempt to gain a

tactical advantage can motivate governmental oppsition to early turnover.

Sound public policy supports the defense request. See Wright, Federal Practice

and Procedures Criminal 2d §254. The policy supporting early turnover is

especially strong for Keith Mattes in this case where it appears all (100%) of

the government evidence against him will be the testimony of informers. There

appears to be no documentary corroboration, no real evidence, and neither

-18-
arrest nor contraband. Moreover, the case is five years old. This indictment

was returned July 8, 1983, and the substantive charge against Keith Mattes is

alleged to have ocurred in July of 1978. This citizen must defend against the

belated allegations of admitted criminals, who obviously would advance their

own interest at his expense. In this setting, early turnover of impeaching

material is critical.

The impeaching evidence requested is for investigative as well as

impeaching purposes. Thorough investigation takes time. As one court noted:

It should be obvious to anyone involved with

criminal trials that exculpatory information

may come too late if it is only given at trial,

and that effective implementation of Brady v.

Maryland must therefore require earlier

production in at least some situations.

United States v. Deutsch 373 F. Supp 289,290

(S.D.N.Y. 1974)

-19-
MOTION TO DISMISS (STATUTE OF LIMITATION)

Defendant moves to dismiss Count IV on the grounds that the charge

is barred by 18 U.S.C. §3282. This indictment was returned on July 8, 1983.

Count IV alleges that "in or around the middle of July 1978" eight persons

including Tracy Wong, Keith Mattes, and Stanley Rogow did "knowingly and

willfully distribute and possess with intent to distribute" a quantity of cocainee.

Defendant respectfully requests permission to supplement its factual

contention after the Government has responded to the Bill of Particulars.

This will enable the Court to know more precisely what acts are alleged to

have been committed by Keith Mattes, and precisely when these acts are

alleged to have been committed. Thus, the vagueness of_the time alleged in

the indictment (in or around the middle of July 1978) together with the returned

date of the indictment (July 8, 1983) creates a need tor scrutiny. When one

adds the plethora of actions alleged in Count IV to the multitude of actors,

it becomes difficult to know from the face of the indictment whether or not

five years had elapsed between the time Keith Mattes is alleged to have acted

and the date the indictment was returned. This is an additional reason the Bill

of Particulars should be answered.

-20-
MOTION FOR SEVERANCE

Defendant Keith Mattes moves for severance of trial from the

defendant Tracy Wong on the grounds that he will be unduely prejudiced by

the quantum of evidence against Tracy Wong and other defendants. There is

a very real danger that, given a case where one defendant is charged in each

and every count (especially with a violation of 18 U.S.C. §848) that the quantum
of illegal activities proved by the Government will spill over and prejudice

Keith Mattes, even though the great majority of the evidence produced by the

Government will have nothing to do with whether or not Keith Mattes is guilty

of the crimes charged against him.

Defendant recognizes that the great weight of authority is against

severance on these grounds. However, authority does exists for severing

defendants in the appropriate case. United States v. Mardian 546 F.2d 973
(D.C. Cir. 1976) United States v. Sanpol 636 F.2d 621, 642-651 (D.C. Cir. 1980)

United States v. Donaway 447 F.2d 940 (9th Cir. 1971) United States v. Branker

395 F. 2d 881 (2nd Cir 1980). This motion is addressed to the sound descretion

of the trial court.

Additional relief requested in this Omnibus motion is for a pretrial

hearing on the scope of the conspiracy. In addition to the other reasons stated

infra, a pretrial hearing will give the court a far better basis to decide this

motion, than simply be reading the indictment.

The Court's attention is also directed to United States v. Musto,

where Judge Sarokin, in an unpublished opinion, reversed the conviction of

John Bertoli (one of the eight defendants) on analogous grounds. That trial

-21-
took 22 weeks, and it is submitted that had a pretrial hearing been held there

- as is requested here - justice would have been better served by giving the

trial judge a basis for making a pretrial ruling rather than waiting for post-

trial. (or mid-trial).

-22-
MULTIPLE CONSPIRACIBS

The indictment charges a conspiracy that had as it purpose the

importation, possession with intent to distribute, and distribution of the

controlled dangerous substances, marijuana and cocaine. Keith Mattes is charged

in a substantive count only with respect to the possession and distribution of

the latter substance. Kotteakos v. United States 328 U.S. 750 (1946) and

United States v. Verelli 407 F.2d 735 (7th Cir. 1969) are landmark cases

describing the prejudice to a defendant where proofs are of separate

conspiracies, but the indictment alleges one overall conspiracy. Severace is

one proper remedy in such a circumstance. United States v. Butler 494 F.2d

1246 (10th Cir. 1974) At the pretrial stage, the government may be put to an

election of which conspiracy to preceed on, the common remedy for a duplicitous

count. United States v. Verelli supra. Indictment may also be dismissed.

Katteakos v. United States supra.

Defendant here moves for all those remedies. However, it is

submitted that a pretrial hearing on the existence and scope of the conspiracy

would greatly aid the Court in ruling on this motion.

-23-
MOTION TO COMPEL ELECTION ON COUNT IV

Count IV charges Keith Mattes with distribution and possession with

intent to distribute cocaine. Def end ant urges that the count is duplicitious

and that the Government should be required to elect which charge it will seek

to prove at trial against Keith Mattes. Counsel recognizes that the general

rule permits the government to charge in the language of this indictment

without the indictment being deemed duplicitous. Nevertheless, in the fact

pattern before this Court, the remedy of election is proper.

Eight defendants are charged in Count IV. Until the Govenment

answers the Bill of Particulars, it is not know whether Keith Mattes is alleged

to have distributed , or to have possessed the contraband with intent to

distribute. If the government can say in good faith that it has some evidence

of each charge, then it is conceded that this motion is without merit. But if, as

is suggested here, there will be no evidence of distribution by Keith Mattes,

then, the Government should be required to elect and prove just the theory

for which it has some quantum of proof. Defendant requests permission to

bolster its argument after the government has supplied answers to the Bill of

Particulars.

-24-
PRETRIAL HEARING AS TO THE
EXISTENCE OF THE CONSPIRACY

Keith Mattes moves for an Order requiring a hearing prior to trial

to determine whether there is "independent evidence" of the existence of the

conspiracy charged in Count I of the indictment, as well as whether Keith

Mattes was a member of the conspiracy charged (and not some other conspiracy).

The Court will then have a better ability to determine whether statements and

acts offered against Keith Mattes were made in the course of, and in furtherance

of such conspiracy.

Keith Mattes also contends that the conspiracy charged against him,

even if proven, is actually multiple conspiracies. That is, in part, evident

from the only substantive charge (Count IV) against Keith Mattes. See Kotteakos

v. United States, 328 U.S. 750 (1956).

Moveover, Mattes's motion for severance, on grounds of disportionate

evidence against others may be fleshed out, and more fairly evaluated.

It is critical that a James hearing be held to determine whether

these contentions are correct, and thus enable a fair and proper limitation of

hearsay statements of alleged co-conspirators to take place.

In support of this motion defendant relies upon United States v,


Continental Group, Inc. 603 F.2d 444, 456-457 (3d Cir. 1979); United States v.

James, 590 F. 2d 575 (5th Cir. 1979) (En Banc), cert. denied, 99 S.Ct. 2836

(1979); United States v. Petroziello, 458 F.2d 20 (1st Cir. 1977) United States

v. Gaeney, 417 F. 2d 1116 (2d Cir. 1965).

-27-
404 (B) EVIDENCE

Keith. Mattes moves this Court in limine for an order requiring the

government to pro ff er any evidence of "other crimes or misconduct" for a pre-

trial ruling, or if during trial, out of the presence of the jury prior to any

attempt to adduce such testimony in front of the jury.

REQUIREMENT OF HEARING

Rule 104 (c)

With respect to "other crimes" evidence offered against a Defendant,

Rule 104(c) of the Federal Rule of Evidences expressly mandates that "(H)earings

on other preliminary matters" (such as the admission of evidence of criminal

conduct other than that charged in the indictment) "shall be so conducted when

the interests of justice require or, when the accused is a witness, if he so

requests".

Rule 103 (c)

More importantly, Rule 103 (c) of the Federal Rules of Evidence

requires that "to the extent practicable" proceedings be conducted so as to

prevent inadmissible evidence from being suggested to the jury by any means,

such as making statements or offers of proof or asking questions in the hearing

of the jury."

By its own language, the "clear purpose" of this rule is "to prevent

inadmissible evidence from being suggested to the jury by any means", 1 Louisell,

Federal Evidence, §13, at p. 77 and "the prosecution should be required to make

a pro ff er of other crimes evidence outside the hearing of the jury. 2 Louisell,

Supra, §140 at p. 120.

-28-
This requirement of an "offer of proof'' of such inherently prejudicial

"other crimes11 evidence outside the hearing of the jury has the salutory effect

of shielding the jury from potentially inadmissible and prejudicial evidence,

provides the trial court with an opportunity to thoughtfully balance the probative

value against the prejudicial impact, and allows the trial court to make a

determination as to whether it might be more desirable to defer admitting such

evidence until the Government's rebuttal. United States v. Bailey 505 F. 2d

417, 420 (D.C. Cir. 1974). See also: United States v. Wolf 561 F. 2d 1376,
1382 (10th Cir. 1977).

(T)he trial judge should not have made even a preliminary


11

ruling on the admissibility of the other offenses evidence in


the government's case-in-chief without requiring a proffer of
that evidence out of the hearing of the jury. Such a proffer
serves theree purposes. First, as with opening statements, it
shields the jury from potentially inadmissible prejudicial
evidence. Secondly, it gives the trial judge a basis on which
to balance the probative value against the prejudicial effect
of the evidence. Finally, it allows the trial judge to probe as
to whether it might be more desirable to def er admitting the
evidence until the government's rebuttal." United States v.
Bailey, Supra, at p. 420.

make further suppression motions.

-30-
OTHER MOTIONS

The defendant rspectfully requests the right to make any additional

motions or supply additional authority which may be necessitated as a

consequence of either discover provided or because of additional information


supplied by the government or acquired by the defendant.

WHEREFORE, it is respectfully requested that this Court grant the

1. I am an Assistant United States Attorney

and have been so employed since 1981. In this capacity,

I have supervised the investigation and pretrial preparation

of United States v. Tracy Wong, et al., Criminal No. 83-199

(D.N.J.).

2. The above investigation has revealed that

TRACY WONG is a principal of Kelmscott Properties, Ltd.

("Kelmscott''), a New York corporation, and that WONG concealed

narcotics profits in Kelrnscott.

3. The Government intends to subpoena records

of Kelmscott pursuant to F.R.Cr.P. 17(c). Production

of such records on October 7, 1983, rather than on the

date of trial, will prevent the interruption and delay

12. My lawyer has explained to me, and I understand, that at such
a tr~al the jury would be told by the judge r·,~t I am presumed to be
. ./ ' . {
innocent, and thc3( _the Government would be r, ~uired to prove me guilty of
the charges against-·me beyond a reasonable doubt. I understand that I
would not have to prove that Iain innocent, and that I could not be con-
victed unless all twelve jurors voted unanimously for conviction.·
13. My lawyer has discussed with me, and I understand, that if I went
to trial on these charges, the Government would have to produce in open
court the witnesses against me, and that my lawyer could confront and
cross-examine them and object to evidence offered by the Government.
14. My lawyer has further explained to me, and I understand, that I
have the right to produce witnesses and could offer evidence in my defens1
at a trial on these charges, and that I would have the right, if I so
chose, to testify on my own behalf at that trial; but if I chose not.to
testify, the jury could draw no suggestion or inference of guilt from
that fact. · · .
15. My lawyer has explained to me, and I understand, that if I plead
GUILTY to any charge (s) in this indictment (Information) -and the judge
accepts my plea, I WAIVE MY RIGHT TO TR.I.AL AND THE OTHER RIGHTS SET FORTH
IN PARAGRAPHS 11, 12, 13 and 14 ABOVE. I-am aware and understand that
if my GUILTY plea is accepted, there will be no trial and a judgment of
GUILTY will be entered after which the judge, upon consideration of my
presentence report, will impose punishment upon me. I understand that
if I plead GUILXY, the judge may impose the same punishment a~ if I had
pleaded "not guilty", went to trial and was convicted by a jury.
16. My lawyer has also explained to me, and I ·understand, that if I
plead GUILTY, I WAIVE MY RIGHT NOT TO INCRIMINATE MYSELF. I understand
that the judge will ask me what I did and I will have to acknowledge my
guilt as charged by setting forth my actions so that.the judge is satis-
fied that I am, indeed, guilty. I understand that any statements I make
at _the tim!= I plead GUILTY, if untrue and made under oath, can be the
basis of a perjury prosecution against me.
17. My lawyer has informed me, and I understand, that the maximum
punishment whieh the law provides for the offenses charged in this
Inc!.ic'i.:r.1ent (Information) is: ..
A MAXIMUM OF ~o years imprisonment and a fine of $ ;?,S:wo.oo
for the offenses charged in Coqnt(s)_ ) 11,v,t[j fl_ ' •
My_lawyer has further explained, and I understand, that there is [no] ·
(a] mandatory minimum punishment of _ _ _ _ _years imprisonment and
[no] [a] mandatory minimum fine of$ _ _ _ _ _ for the offenses charged
in Count(s)
I understand that if I plead GUILTY to Count(s) _ __._~---- of the
Indictment (Information), I face a maximum sentence on those counts of .
S years imprisonment, plus an aggregate fine of$ IS,ooovo6
[I understand that if I plead GUILTY and the judge accepts my plea, I
may be sentenced, at the judge's discretion, under the provisions of
the Youth Corrections Act or as a Young Adult Offender if I am presently
at least 18 years of age but not yet 26 years of age •. Under ~uch .
sentencing provisions, I understand that I might be given an indeterminate
sentence which might require me to spend as long as six (6) years in
prison.]
18. I hereby declare that no officer or agent of any branch of
government, (Federi;,·\, State or local), nor mY,, \,awyer, nor any other
person, has- made a_, ) promise or suggestion of. .ny kind to me, or within
my knowledge to anyon~ else, that- I will rece•ive a lighter sentence, or
probation, or any othe·r form of leniency if I plead GUILTY. My 1!3,wyer
has explained, and I understand, that only the judge may decide what
punishment I shall receive, and that if any person has told me otherwise,
that·person is not:telling me the truth. ·
19. I hereby declare that I have not been forced, coerced or
threatened in any manner by any person to plead GUILTY to these charges.
Nor have I been told that if I refuse to plead GUILTY, other persons
will be prosecuted.
20. There [has] [has aoe] been a plea agreement entered into between
me and the United States Attorney by Assistant United States Attorney
J?k,l,p Sett',115Px""
[name]
[ ] The plea agreement does not exist in written form.
[>(] The plea agreement does exist in written form. I have read it,
my lawyer has explained it to me and I understand it.
The substance of the plea agreement is:

,htitr~~~ ~Z- aw --rt,,, robe~


21. My lawyer has explained to me, and I understand, that the terms
of the plea agreement might be unacceptable to the judge. If the judge
does not accept the terms of the agreement, I understand that I may with-
draw my GUILTY plea or go ahead and plead GUILTY anyway. If, after the
judge informs me that the plea agreement is unacceptable, I continue in
my desire to plead GUILTY, I understand that the dispo~i tion __of my _cas~-- _
may be less favorable than that proposed in the plea agreement.
22. I believe that my lawyer has done all tpat anyone could do to
counsel and ass.ist me, AND I AM SATISFIED WITH THE ADVICE AND HELP MY
LAWYER HAS GIVEN ME.
23. I know the judge will not permit anyone to plead GUILTY who claim_s
'-to be innocent, and with that in mind and because I am GUILTY and make·
no claim of innocence, I wish to plead GUILTY. I respectfully request
that the Court accept my plea of GUILTY and to have the Clerk enter my
plea of GUILTY as follows:
To Count (s) f2t2:e of this Indictment (Information) •
24. I offer my plea of GUILTY freely and volunta~ily and of my own
accord, with full understanding of all matters set forth in the Indictment
(Information), in this application and in the certification of my lawyer
which is attached to this application.
25. I further declare that I wish to waive the reading of the Indic-'crnent
(Information) in open court, and I request the Court to enter my plea
of GUILTY as set forth in Paragraph 23, above.

Dear Mr. Zeiler:

This letter sets forth the full and complete plea


agreement between Jerry Swartz and the United States Attorney
for the District of New Jersey.

Based upon the understanding specified below, the


United States will accept a guilty plea from Jerry Swartz to
Count one of Indictment 83-199. That count charges a violation
of 21 u.s.c. Section 841, carrying a maximum sentence of five
years imprisonment and a $15,000.00 fine. The United States
will, at the time of sentencing in the above-captioned matter,
move to dismiss the remaining counts against Jerry Swartz.

It is understood that the sentence to be imposed upon


Jerry Swartz is within the sole discretion of the sentencing
Judge. This Office reserves its right to take a position with
respect to the appropriate sentence to be imposed by the
District Court. However, this Office will inform the
sentencing Judge and the Probation Department of: (1) this
agreement; (2) the nature and extent of Jerry Swartz's
activities with respect to this case; and (3) all other
information, favorable or otherwise, in its possession relevant
to sentence. It is understood that the United States
specifically reserves the right to correct factual
misstatements relating to sentencing proceedings and to oppose
any application by Jerry Swartz for a reduction of sentence
pursuant to Rule 35, Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.

It is further understood that this agreement is


limited to the United States Attorney's Office for the District
of New Jersey and cannot bind other federal, state or local
prosecuting authorities, although this Office will bring this
agreement to the attention of other prosecuting offices, if
requested.

Finally, it is understood that this agreement was


reached without regard to any civil matters that may be pending
or may arise involving Jerry Swartz, including, but not limited
to, proceedings by the Internal Revenue Service relating to
potential civil tax liability.

No additional promises, agreements and conditions have


been entered into other than those set forth in this letter and
none will be entered into unless in writing and signed by all

This matter having been opened to the Court on the

application of the United States, w. Hunt Dumont, United States

Attorney, by Philip R. Sellinger, Assistant United States

Attorney, for an ex parte Order, pursuant to 26 u.s.c.


§ 6103 (i) (1) (2), directing the Internal Revenue Service to

disclose returns, taxpayer return information and return

information other than taxpayer return information for the

below listed individual and companies for the period 1977 to

the present:

( 1) TRACY WONG

(3) Kelmscott Trading
3 East 82nd Street

After examining the application, the Court finds:

1. There is reasonable cause to believe, based upon

information believed to be reliable, that TRACY WONG has

848, 952 and 963, and 18 u.s.c. § 2. The Indictment in this

case so charges.

2. There is reasonable cause to believe that the

returns, taxpayer return information and return information

other than taxpayer return information is or may be relevant to

a matter relating to the commission of such acts. For example,

such information may negate any legitimate source for money

with which Tracey Wong bought his home. It may also negate

that certain actions of Wong occurred in connection with the

business of Chester, Bladebern & Koder or Kelmscott Trading.

The Court further finds that the applicant and Special

Agents James Nielsen of the Drug Enforcement Administration,

Robert Palka of the Internal Revenue Service, and James Coble

and Alan Therrien of the Bureau of Customs, are personally and

directly engaged in preparing the matter for trial, that the

information sought is solely for such use, and that the

Attorney for the District o7J(ew Jersey.

IT IS on this~...- day of August, 1983;

described above has not been filed or is not on file with the

Internal Revenue Service, that no such returns, taxpayer return

information or return information other than taxpayer return

information had been filed or are on file; (3) disclose how


such information described above has come into the possession

of the Internal Revenue Service subsequent to the date of this

Order, but for not longer than 30 days thereafter; (4) disclose

such information and make such certification only to the

applicant and the Special Agents of the Drug Enforcement

Administration, Internal Revenue Service and Bureau of Customs

specified above and to no other person; (5) disclose no


returns, taxpayer return information or return information

other than taxpayer return information not described above; and

it is

FURTHER ORDERED that the applicant, the Drug Enforce-

ment Administration, the Internal Revenue Service and the

Bureau of Customs Special Agents specified above and any

attorney of the United States Department of Justice who may

subsequently be assigned in this matter shall use the returns,

taxpayer return information and return information other than

taxpayer return information disclosed solely in investigating

and preparing for trial the above mentioned violations of 21

u.s.c. §§ 84l(a) (1), 846, 848, 952 and 963, and 18 u.s.c. § 2,

and that no disclosure be made to any other person except at

narcotics activities, that he purchased an expensive home with

'
This matter having been opened to the Court on the

application of the United States, W. Hunt Dumont, United States

Attorney, by Philip R. Sellinger, Assistant United States

Attorney, for an ex parte Order, pursuant to 26 U.S.C.

§ 6103 (i) (1) (2), directing the Internal Revenue Service to

disclose returns, taxpayer return information and return

information other than taxpayer return information for the

below listed individual and companies for the period 1977 to

the present:

(1) TRACY WONG


(SSN: 486-46-8351)

(3) Kelmscott Trading l\LLYN z. llIE
3 East 82nd Street
New York, New York

After examining the application, the Court finds:

1. There is reasonable cause to believe, based upon

information believed to be reliable, that TRACY WONG has

conspired to commit and has committed violations of the


(

- 2 -

federal narcotics laws, including 21 u.s.c. §§ 84l(a) (1), 846,

848, 952 and 963, and 18 u.s.c. § 2. The Indictment in this

case so charges.

2. There is reasonable cause to believe that the

returns, taxpayer return information and return information

other than taxpayer return information is or may be relevant to

a matter relating to the commission of such acts. For example,

such information may negate any legitimate source for money

with which Tracey Wong bought his home. It may also negate

that certain actions of Wong occurred in connection with the

business of Chester, Bladebern & Koder or Kelmscott Trading.

The Court further finds that the applicant and Special

Agents James Nielsen of the Drug Enforcement Administration,

Robert Palka of the Internal Revenue Service, and James Coble

and Alan Therrien of the Bureau of Customs, are personally and

directly engaged in preparing the matter for trial, that the

information sought is solely for such use, and that the

application is authorized by w. Hunt Dumont, United States

Attorney for the District of New Jersey.

IT IS on this ~f day of August, 1983;

0 RD ERE D that the Internal Revenue Service (1)

disclose returns, taxpayer return information and return

information other than taxpayer return information for the

above-listed individual and companies for the period 1977 to


- 3 -

the present as have been filed and are on file with the

Internal Revenue Service; (2) certify where the information

described above has not been filed or is not on file with the

Internal Revenue Service, that no such returns, taxpayer return

information or return information other than taxpayer return

information had been filed or are on file; (3) disclose how


such information described above has come into the possession

of the Internal Revenue Service subsequent to the date of this

Order, but for not longer than 30 days thereafter; (4) disclose

such information and make such certification only to the

applicant and the Special Agents of the Drug Enforcement

Administration, Internal Revenue Service and Bureau of Customs

specified above and to no other person; (5) disclose no

returns, taxpayer return information or return information

other than taxpayer return information not described above; and

it is

FURTHER ORDERED that the applicant, the Drug Enforce-

ment Administration, the Internal Revenue Service and the

Bureau of Customs Special Agents specified above and any

attorney of the United States Department of Justice who may

subsequently be assigned in this matter shall use the returns,

taxpayer return information and return information other than

taxpayer return information disclosed solely in investigating

and preparing for trial the above mentioned violations of 21

u.s.c. §§ 84l(a) (1), 846, 848, 952 and 963, and 18 u.s.c. § 2,

and that no disclosure be made to any other person except at

trial or in accordance with the provisions of 26 u.s.c. § 6103

TRACY WONG, et al. APPLICATION OF THE UNITED


STATES FOR AN EX PARTE ORDER

w. Hunt Dumont, United States Attorney, for the District

of New Jersey, by Philip R. Sellinger, Assistant United States


Attorney, pursuant to 26 u.s.c. § 6103(i) (1) (2), makes appli-

cation to this Court for an ex parte Order directing the Internal

Revenue Service to disclose to the applicant (and others

hereinafter named) returns, taxpayer return information and return

information other than taxpayer return information for the below

listed individual and companies for the period 1977 to the present:

(1) TRACY WONG


(SSN: 486-46-8351)

ALLYN Z. LIIE
(3) Kelmscott Trading
3 East 82nd Street

In support of its application, your applicant alleges

and states the following:

1. There is reasonable cause to believe, based upon

information believed to be reliable, that TRACY WONG has

conspired to commit and has committed numerous violations of


- 2 -

the federal narcotics laws, including 21 U.S.C.§§ 84l(a} (1),

846, 848, 952 and 963, and 18 u.s.c. § 2. A federal Grand Jury

has returned a 7 Count Indictment charging TRACY WONG with

those violations.

2. There is reasonable cause to believe that the

returns, taxpayer return information and return information

other than taxpayer return information are or may be relevant

to a matter relating to the commission of such acts.

Specifically, the United States has learned that TRACY WONG

received several hundred thousand dollars as proceeds from his

narcotics activities, that he purchased an expensive home with

such money, that he used his businesses as a "front" for his

illegal activities, and that his businesses are/were Chester,

Bladebern & Koder and Kelmscott Trading. Accordingly, the

information sought may negate any legitimate source for the

money with which he bought his home. It may also negate that

certain actions of WONG occurred in connection with the

business of Chester, Bladebern & Koder or Kelmscott Trading.

3. The information sought to be disclosed cannot be

obtained from any other source.

4. Applicant further alleges and states that in

addition to himself, Special Agents James Nielsen of the Drug

Enforcement Administration, Robert Palka of the Internal

Revenue Service, and James Coble and Alan Therrien of the

Bureau of Customs, are personally and directly engaged in


- 3 -

preparing the matter for trial. The information sought herein

is solely for our use in the trial of this case. No disclosure

will be made to any other person, except at trial, and except

in accordance with 26 u.s.c. § 6103 and 26 C.F.R. § 404.6103.


WHEREFORE, your applicant requests that this Court

enter an ex parte Order on this application granting disclosure

by the Internal Revenue Service of the returns, taxpayer return

information and return information other than taxpayer return

information specified in this application.

Re: Plea Agreement with Sten

Dear Mr. Bernstein:

This letter sets forth the full and complete agreement between
Sten Lundegar and the United states Attorney for the District of
New Jersey. This agreement supersedes the previous agreement,
dated October 18, 1991, between Sten Lundegar and the United States
Attorney for the District of New Jersey.

Charge/Sentence and Other Penalties


Conditioned on the understandings specified below, the United
States will accept a guilty plea from Sten Lundegar to an
Information, which charges a violation of 21 u.s.c. § 843(b). That
statute carries a maximum penalty of 4 years' imprisonment and a
$30,000 fine. All fines imposed by the sentencing court are
subject to the payment of interest.

If Sten Lundegar enters a guilty plea as detailed above and


is sentenced on this charge, the United States Attorney for the
District of New Jersey will not bring any further charges against
Sten Lundegar relating to the importation, possession or
distribution of cocaine and Thai Sticks from 1977 through 1979.
In addition, at the time of sentencing in this matter, the United
states will move to dismiss the indictment, Criminal No. 83-
199 (GEB), against Sten Lundegar.

Rights of U.S. Attorney's Office at Sentencing

The sentence to be imposed upon Sten Lundegar is within the


sole discretion of the sentencing judge. This office cannot and
does not make any promise or representation as to what sentence
Sten Lundegar will receive, nor will it recommend any specific
Roger J. Bernstein, Esq.
October 30, 1991

disposition. However, this Office will inform the sentencing judge


and the Probation Office of: (1) this agreement; (2) the nature
and extent of Sten Lundegar's activities with respect to this case;
and (3) all other information relevant to sentencing, favorable or
otherwise, in the possession of this office. In addition, this
Office specifically agrees that, should Sten Lundegar receive a
sentence of imprisonment on his guilty plea to the one-count
information charging a violation of 21 u.s.c. § 843(b), this Office
will not take any position with respect to Sten Lundegar's
application to the Department of Justice for transfer to Denmark
of his sentence of incarceration, pursuant to the Convention on
Transfer of Sentenced Prisoners. Moreover, should Sten Lundegar
receive a term of probation or supervised release as part of his
sentence in this matter, this Office will not oppose Sten
Lundegar's request that he be allowed to serve such a term of
probation or supervised release in Denmark, with the understanding
that, should such request be granted, Sten Lundegar would be
required to advise the United States Probation Office prior to any
return by Sten Lundegar to the United States.
The United States specifically reserves the right to correct
factual misstatements relating to sentencing proceedings and to
oppose any application by Sten Lundegar for a reduction of sentence
pursuant to Rule 35 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.

Other Provisions

This agreement is limited to the United states Attorney's


Off ice for the District of New Jersey and cannot bind other
federal, state, or local prosecuting authorities. However, this
Office will bring this agreement to the attention of other
prosecuting offices, if requested to do so.

Finally, this agreement was reached without regard to any


civil matters that may be pending against Sten Lundegar, including,
but not limited to, proceedings by the Internal Revenue Service
relating to potential civil tax liability.

This agreement constitutes the full and complete agreement


between sten Lundegar and the United states Attorney for the
District of New Jersey. No additional promises, agreements, or
Roger J. Bernstein, Esq.
October 30, 1991

conditions have been entered into other than those set forth in
this letter, and none will be entered into unless in writing and
signed by all parties.

before being called upon to plead. I have read and discussed

charge(s) against me is that~--<-

WAIVER OF INDICTMENT (IF APPLICABLE)


9. My lawyer has explained to me that I have a constitutional
right to be charged by an indictment of a grand jury but that
I can waive that right and consent to being charged through a
criminal Information filed by the United States Attorney.

10. I understand that unless I waive indictment I may not be


charged with a felony unless a grand jury finds by.return of
an indictment that there is probable cause to believe that a
crime has been committed and that I committed it.
11. I also understand that if I do not waive indictment, the
government may present the case to the grand jury and request
the grand jury to indict me.
12. I understand that a grand jury is composed of at least 16 and
not more than 23 persons, that at least 12 grand jurors must
find that there is probable cause to believe that I committed
the crime. I also understand that the grand jury may or may
not indict me.

13. I further understand that by waiving indictment by the grand


jury, the case will proceed against me on the United States
Attorney's Information as though I had been indicted.

14. My attorney has discussed the nature of the charges(s)


against me and waiving my right to indictment thereon by
grand jury, I fully understand those rights, and I wish to
waive indictment by grand jury.

15. My decision to waive indictment by grand jury is made


knowingly and voluntarily, and no threats or promises have
been made to induce me to waive indictment.

2
THE GUILTY PLEA
16. I have told my lawyer all the facts and circumstances known
to me about the charge(s) set forth in the
Complaint/Indictment/Information.
17. I am satisfied that my lawyer understands the information
which I have provided, and that my lawyer has counselled and
advised me on the nature of each charge and on all possible
defenses that I might have in this case.
18. In addition, my lawyer has explained to me, and I understand,
that if I entered a plea of NOT GUILTY (or persisted in my
plea of NOT GUILTY), under the Constitution and laws of the
United States I would be entitled to a speedy and public
trial by a jury of twelve persons on the charge(s) contained
in this Complaint/Indictment/Information.
19. My lawyer has explained to me, and I understand, that at such
a trial the jury would be told by the judge that I am
presumed to be innocent, and that the Government would be
required to prove me guilty of the charge(s) against me
beyond a reasonable doubt. I understand that I would not
have to prove that I am innocent, and that I could not be
convicted unless all twelve jurors voted unanimously for
conviction.
20. My lawyer has explained to me, and I understand, that if I
went to trial on these charge(s), the Government would have
to produce in open court the witnesses against me, and that
my lawyer could confront and cross-examine them and object to
evidence offered by the Government.
21. My lawyer has further explained to me, and I understand, that
I have the right to produce witnesses and could offer
evidence in my defense at a trial on these charge(s), and
that I would have the right, if I so chose, to testify on my
own behalf at that trial; but if I chose not to testify, the
jury could draw no suggestion or inference of guilt from that
fact.
22. My lawyer has explained to me, and I understand, that if I
plead GUILTY to any charge(s) in this Qe~laint/Indictntefft/
Information and the judge accepts my plea, I WAIVE MY RIGHT
TO TRIAL AND THE OTHER RIGHTS SET FORTH IN PARAGRAPHS 18, 19,
20 and 21 ABOVE. I am aware and understand that if my GUILTY
plea is accepted, there will be no trial and a judgement of
GUILTY will be entered after which, the judge, upon
consideration of my presentence report, will impose
punishment upon me. I understand that if I plead GUILTY, the
judge may impose the same punishment as if I had pleaded "not
guilty", went to trial and was convicted by a jury.
3
23. My lawyer has also explained to me, and I understand, that if
I plead GUILTY, I WAIVE MY RIGHT NOT TO INCRIMINATE MYSELF.
I understand that the judge will ask me what I did and I will
have to acknowledge my guilt as charged by setting forth my
actions so that the judge is satisfied that I am, indeed,
guilty. I understand that any statements I make at the time
I plead GUILTY, if untrue and made under oath, can be the
basis of a perjury prosecution against me.
24. My lawyer has informed me, and I understand, that the maximum
punishment which the law provides the offense(s) charged
in this Complaint/Indictment/ nformation is:
A MAXIMUM OF L/ years imprisonment and a fine of
$ 50,ffl>"b for the offense(s) charged in Ceuftt(s)

punishment of ~ years .unprisonment and [ ~ [a]
mandatory minimum fine of$ _______ for the offense(s)
charged in C::--ouat ( & ) -rl.e.. ( "+u .,..,,., evb a V1
I understand that if I plead GUILTY to Count(s) of the
Complaint/Indictment/Information, I face a maximum sentence
on those counts of '-I years imprisonment, plus an
aggregate fine of $3q~ My lawyer has additionally
explained, and I unde'rstand that in addition to or in lieu of
the penalties already discussed, I may be ordered to make
restitution to any victim of the offense and that the Court
may require me to make a restitution in services instead of
money or to make restitution to a designated third person or
organization instead of the victim. I understand that in·
determining whether to order restitution and the amount of
restitution the Court will consider the amount of the loss
sustained by any victim as a result of the offense, my
financial resources, the financial needs and earning ability
of my dependents, and any other factors as the Court deems
appropriate.
I understand that I will be assessed $50 for each felony upon
which I am sentenced and $25 for each misdemeanor, if any.
25. I hereby declare that no officer or agent of any branch of
government, (Federal, State or local), nor my lawyer, nor any
other person, has made any promise or suggestion of any kind
to me, or within my knowledge to anyone else, that I will
receive a lighter sentence, or probation, or any other form
of leniency if I plead GUILTY. My lawyer has explained, and
I understand, that only the judge may decide what punishment
I shall receive, and that if any person has told me
otherwise, that person is not telling me the truth.

agreement, I understand that I may withdraw my GUILTY plea or
go ahead and plead GUILTY anyway. If, after the judge
informs me that the plea agreement is unacceptable, I
continue in my desire to plead GUILTY, I understand that the
disposition of my case may be less favorable than that
proposed in the plea agreement.
39. I believe that my lawyer has done all that anyone could do to
counsel and assist me, AND I AM SATISFIED WITH THE ADVICE AND
HELP MY LAWYER HAS GIVEN ME.

claims to be innocent, and with that in mind and because I am
GUILTY, I respectfully request that the Court accept my plea

STEN LUNDEGAR,

Defendant.

EASTERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, SS:

PATRICK QUINN, being duly sworn, deposes and says he is


a Deputy Marshal with the United States Marshal Service, duly

appointed according to law and acting as such.

Upon information and belief, on or about October 2, 1983,


a warrant was issued by the Clerk of the Court for the District of

New Jersey charging the defendant STEN LUNDEGAR, with cocaine

conspiracy and importation, in violation of Title 21, United states

Code, Sections 841, 846 and 952.

The source of your deponent' s information and the grounds

for his belief are as follows:

1. Attached hereto is a copy of a warrant issued on

October 2, 1983, by the Clerk of the Court for the District of New

Jersey charging the defendant STEN LUNDEGAR with cocaine conspiracy

and importation, in violation of Title 21, United states Code,

Sections 841, 846 and 952.

2. On August 21, 1991, I was informed by officials of

the Immigration and Naturalization Service ("INS") that the


2

defendant STEN LUNDEGAR had arrived at John F. Kennedy

International Airport, Queens, New York, earlier that day. The INS

officials stated that a computer check indicated that the defendant

STEN LUNDEGAR was wanted on a federal warrant in N~w Jersey.


3. On the evening of August 21, 1991, I went to John F. /

Kennedy International Airport and met with the defendant STEN

LUNDEGAR. He has confirmed for me and other agents that his name

was STEN LUNDEGAR, and he provided me with his social security

number, date of birth and former address in Fort Lauderdale,


Florida. This number, date or birth and address coincide with

information I received from the United states Marshals in New t


Jersey as being those of the defendant STEN LUNDEGAR. The Marshals
in New Jersey received this information from the Drug Enforcement
Administration, which conducted the investigation which led to

LUNDEGAR's indictment in 1983.


WHEREFORE, your deponent respectfully requests that the

defendant STEN LUNDEGAR be dealt with according to law.

DECLARATION OF ROGER BERNSTEIN

I make this declaration in support of the pretrial

motions filed in the above-captioned case on behalf of defendant

Sten Lundager based on information provided by my client.

1. Mr. Lundager is a citizen of Denmark born in 1947.

2. Mr. Lundager lived in the United States from

approximately 1975 until 1981. During this interval he made many

trips back to Denmark. After 1981 Mr. Lundager lived in Spain

where he was gainfully employed, and occasionally visited his

family in Denmark where he continued to receive mail. Mr.

Lundager used his own name at all times in these countries in all

matters.

3. Mr. Lundager travelled to the United States in

February of 1991. I am advised that he travelled under his own

name using his own passport, and that while he was in the United

States he engaged in normal travel and other activities, and did


not seek to hide his whereabouts or identity from anyone.

4. Mr. Lundager again travelled to the United States

in August of 1991, also under his own name and using his own

passport. I am advised that he first learned that there was an

indictment charging him with alleged narcotics crimes when he was

arrested at Kennedy Airport in August of 1991.


5. The allegations in the indictment against Mr.

Lundager concern alleged illegal conduct in 1978 and 1979, i.e.,

twelve and thirteen years ago. I am advised that Mr. Lundager no

longer has any employment records or income tax returns from that

time period. Such records, which pertain to work that Mr.

Lundager had in the state of Florida in River Bend Marina and

other boatyards, would be useful to the defense in demonstrating

that Mr. Lundager was lawfully employed there at the time of the

alleged narcotics transactions in New Jersey.

6. The government claimed in an earlier proceeding in

this case against defendant Tracy Wong that Mr. Lundager made

trips abroad in 1978 and 1979 in connection with the alleged

illegal conduct. I am advised that his current passport does not

go back that far, and that Mr. Lundager no longer has his pass-

port from that period since it was discarded. Without the

passport from the relevant period the defense is obviously

hampered in refuting the government's allegations concerning

trips abroad at that time. I am also advised that Mr. Lundager

no longer has his address book from the years 1978 and 1979.

This address book would have been useful to the defense in

locating co-workers and friends in Florida who would be able to


testify as to his employment there. I am also advised that Mr.

Lundager also no longer has any documents pertaining to boat

building transactions which he pursued in the United States and

elsewhere in 1978 - 1979.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing

is true and correct.

DECLARATION OF ROBERT ASCHHEIM
I make this declaration in support of the pretrial
motions filed on behalf of defendant Sten Lundegar in the above-

captioned case.
1. I am an attorney licensed to practice law in the
State of Florida.
2. At the request of Roger Bernstein, Esq. , counsel for

Sten Lundegar, I have investigated the availability of employment

records for Sten Lundegar at River Bend Marina in Broward County,

Florida and Broward Marina in Broward County, Florida and

Mortensons Boat Yard in Dade County, Florida for the years 1978 and

1979.

3. On October 7, 1991, I was advised by Thomas Wolf,

a manager of River Bend Marina, that employment records for 1978

and 1979 are not available. He advised me that the ownership of

the marina has changed two times in the last three years, and

further advised that they were in the process of moving the


facility on October 7, 1991. T also reviewed Dade County and

Broward County telephone directories for the name of the former

owner, Shelly Lake, and have found no listing for him.

4. On October 7 and 8, 1991 I was advised by Lisa in

the Personnel Department of Broward Marina that employment records

for 1978 and 1979 are no longer available.


5. I reviewed the current Dade County and Broward
County telephone directories for Mortensen Boat Yard and found no
listing.

I declare under penalties of perjury that the foregoing

is true and correct.

Dear Ms. Pelafique:

It is the Company's policy to notify our subscribers when we receive a


subpoena or summons for their toll billing records. However, this notice may be
deferred under certain conditions upon official request by the governmental agency
demanding the records.

On August 16, 1983, we received a subpoena from the Drug Enforcement


Administration for the toll billing records for your telephone number 763-4362 for the
July 11, 1983 bill. The subpoena was accompanied by an official request to defer
notice to you until November 14, 1983.

Our Company, in response to this subpoena, furnished these toll billing


records to the Drug Enforcement Administration on August 16, 1983.

Any questions you may have regarding the purpose of the subpoena should
be referred to the Drug Enforcement Administration, Suite 405, 299 E. Broward Blvd.,
Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301.

Ladies and gentlemen, the next stage of the

2 trial will be the opening statements of counsel. First

3 you'll hear uhe opening on behalf of the United States

4 Attorney, then counsel for the defendant.

5 I just want to tell you at this stage that

6 while the lawyers have every right to argue to you what they

7 intend to prove and what they hope the proofs will show,

8 what they say to you now is not evidence. It is just an

9 argument. The only evidence in the case will come to you

10 from the witness stand and from whatever exhibits I have

11 permitted in.
12 All right. Mr. Sellinger, you may open.

13 MR. SELLINGER: May it please the Court, the

14 defendant's counsel, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, my


15 name is Philip Sellinger, as Judge Stern told you befor~,

16 and I'm an Assistant United States Attorney. It is my

17 privilege a·na, indeed, my great honor to represent the

18 United States in the case before you today, the United

19 States of America against Tracy Wong.

20 Sitting at counsel table with me is James

21 Neilsen, a special agent with the Drug Enforcemen~

22 Administration.

23 In late August, 1978 a man by the name of

24 Olayinka Fisher, th~ secretary of the Nigerian Mission of

25 the United Nations, a Nigerian diplomat -- Olayinka Fisher

STANLEY B. RIZMAN, CSR, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER, NEWARK, N.J.


17

1 boarded a plane in Bogota, Columbia, South America, boarded

2 a plane bound for the United States. Mr. Fisher wasn't an

3 ordinary diplomat and this wasn't an ordinary mission. The

4 secret purpose for his mission was in the suitcase he

5 carried u~der his arm. That very suitcase had passed a few

6 days earlier between two men -- when two men from New York

7 had met secretly in a hotel room also in Bogota, Columbia.

8 At this secret meeting one man handed the other

9 man that very same suitcase which Fisher carried onto the

10 plane a few days later. A suitcase containing over a half a

11 million dollars worth of virtually pure whit~ Columbian

12 cocaine.
13 The man who handed over that suitcase was

14 Joseph Margarite, an international drug dealer his entire

15 adult life. The man who received that suitcase abd cocaine

16 and who gave it to Fisher, the diplomat, just a few days

17 later, was a successful businessman named Tracy Wong.

18 And this cocaine transfer was just one of a

19 series of secrete meetings in hotel rooms in Bogota,

20 Columbia, South America and Bangkok, Thailand, Southeast

21 Asia, where Margarite, the international criminal, gave the

22 defendant over one million dollars worth of cocaine and

23 marijuana which the defendant then gave to Fisher, the

24 diplomat, to smuggle into the United States.

25 Now, Fisher being a respected diplomat, wasn't

STANLEY B. RIZMAN, CSR, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER, NEWARK, N.J.


18

1 about to meet with a career criminal like Joseph Margarite,

2 fugitive from other parts of the world. But the diplomat

3 could easily meet with the defendant, a successful

4 businessman, who had an air of respectability. So each of

5 the drug ~eals involving the diplomat had the diplomat on

6 one side, Joseph Margariue, the career criminal, on the

7 other side, and the defendant, a successful businessman,

8 · right in the middle. And it is these series of secret drug

9 deals that this case is all about.

10 This case is about a successful shipping

11 broker, educated in the finest schools of the United States,

12 who went to cocktail parties with diplomats and financiers

13 one day but, like a chameleon, went to hotel rooms with

14 career criminals the next.

15 This case is about a man who used his

16 educa~i~n, his credentials, his international conttacts, his

17 backgrounds, and his pin striped suit as a passport into the

18 drug dealing business au it's very highest levels. This

19 case is about the pure, unadulterated greed which brings

20 Tracy Wong inr.o r.his C"'}r.°".room as a defendant today.

21 Now, the case begins in the summer of 1977 with

22 Joseph Margarite, who I've already mentioned, and his

23 partner, a Swedish man named Gosta Ferneborg. Margarite and

24 Ferneborg were partners in the drug dialing business and

25 together they had dealt hundreds and thousands of pounds of

STANLEY B. RIZMAN, CSR, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER, NEWARK, N.J.


(
19

1· marijuana and other drugs.

2 In the summer of 1977, if you look at this

3 chart over here, Margarite and Ferneborg were planning to

4 bring into the United States a load of approximately 1700

5 pounds or_almost a ton of a very high quality marijuana from

6 Bangkok, Thailand called Thai sticks.


7 If you look at this map, here's the United

8 States, New York and New Jersey is over here, Bangkok,

9 Thailand is west. Over here in Southeast Asia.

10 Now, Joseph Margarite went to Bangkok,

11 Thailand, twice in the fall of 1977 to arrange for the

12 purchase of the Thai sticks. And the Thai sticks were to be


13 stored right here in New Jersey at a warehouse either in

14 Fort Lee or in Ridgewood.

15 Now, while Margarite and Ferneborg were

16 planning to bring in these Thai sticks, they met the

17 defendant at a party of a mutual friend named Jay Sicre.

18 The defendant told Ferneborg and Margarite that he was a

19 successful shipping broker and he knew ways to transport

20 into and out of the United States enormous sums of money


21 without leaving any records.

22 Transferring money was very important to

23 Margarite and Ferneborg because they needed to transfer

24 hundreds of thousands of dollars to Bangkok in connection

25 with the Thai stick load and in connection with all the

STANLEY B. RIZMAN, CSR, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER, NEWARK, N.J.


20

1 other drug deals that they were working on.

2 So Ferneborg asked the defendant if he would

3 transfer some money to Thailand and the defendant agreed.

4 Not for free, of course, but for a substantial amount of

5 money •

6 Now, in all fairness to the defendant, at the

7 beginning, when the defendant transferred the money to

8 Thailand, he didn't know that the money was for an illegal

9 drug, Thai sticks. Ferneborg told him it was for something

10 illegal, but not that it was for drugs. But shortly

11 afterwards, after the Thai scicks came in and the defendant

12 was demanding payment for ~ransferring the money, then he

13 found out. Although Ferneborg and Margarite had sold the

14 Thai sticks for approximately $800,000, their profits were

15 only a small portion of the total $800,000 because their

16 costs and other problems selling the drug had reduced their

17 profit significantly.

18 So they had to explain to the defendant why

19 they couldn't pay him the substantial sum of money they

20 promised him for transferring funds to Bangkok. And, in so

21 doing, they explained to the defendant that the money he had

22 transferred was for an illegal Thai stick load.

23 Did the defendant get mad that he had been used

24 by drug dealers to transfer money for a drug deal? You bet.

25 He was angry and upset. But not because he had been used to

STANLEY B. RIZMAN, CSR, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER, NEWARK, N.J.


21

r transfer money for a drug deal and not because he had been

2 used by international drug dealers. He was upset because he

3 hadn't gotten his piece of the action. He didn't get paid

4 and he was upset because of greed and greed only.

5 So what did the defendant decide to do? He

6 decided to use his business know-how to make sure that he

7 became an indispensible part of Ferneborg and Margarite's

8 drug operation so never again would he do anything for

9 anybody and nou get his piece of the action.

10 So what does the defendant do? The defendant

11 tells Ferneborg and Margarite that in his successful and

12 legitimate shipping business he had met a diplomat who could

13 smuggle cocaine into the United States.

14 Now, foreign diplomats are normally granted

15 diplomatic immunity. And diplomatic immunity means that

16 when they fly :into airports in the United States and go

17 through Cus-toms, their bags won't be 'searched.

18 Ferneborg and Margarite agreed. And in June,

19 1978, if you look at the chart, the first cocaine trip was

20 planned by the defendant, Ferneborg and Margarite. This

21 trip, since it was the first trip and only a practice run,

22 involved only two pounds of cocaine. But they decided if it

23 was successful they would do more runs with more cocaine,

24 making more money in the future. And that is exactly what

25 they did.

STANLEY B. RIZMAN, CSR, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER, NEWARK, N.J.


22

l' In June, 1978 Margarite went down to Bogota,

2 Columbia to set up the cocaine deal. And if you look at the

3 map again, here is the United States, New York and New

4 Jersey. Bogota, Columbia is down here at the top of South

5 America.
~
~

6 Margarite flew down to Bogota to set up the

7 deal and then the defenaant flew down a few days later.

8 I'll use this magic marker to represent the defendant's drug

9 dealing trips.

10 The defendant flew down to Bogota carrying

11 approximately $20,000 which he gave to Margarite, which

12 Margarite then used to purchase the cocaine. Margarite

13 bought the cocaine, gave it to the defendant. The defendant

14 got the cocaine and gave it to his diplomat, who smuggled

15 the cocaine back into the United States.

16 Back in the United States the defendant got the

17 cocaine back from the diplomat and then gave it to Ferneborg

18 who, remember, was Margarite's partner, and Ferneborg sold

19 the cocaine for approximately $60,000.

20 The defendant was thrilled at the ease with

21 which he and his diplomat could make money dealing drugs

22 with Ferneborg and Margarite. And he immediately wanted to

23 go back down to Columbia to do another deal. And that's

24 exactly what he did. This time in July, 1978.

25 With Margarite down to Bogota, Columbia, the

STANLEY B. RIZMAN, CSR, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER, NEWARK, N.J.


23

l' defendant flew down to Columbia again. This time carrying

2 approximately $100,000 in brand-new hundred-dollar bills,

3 money he had obtained at a bank in Panama which he used for

4 legitimate shipping purposes. A man by the name of Sten

5 Lundagar,_who was a courier for Margarite and Ferneborg,

6 carried down about $35,000, too. That money was Margari~e

7 and Ferneborg's money.

8 The defendant and Lundagar gave the money to

9 Margarite and trhis time Margarite purchases approximately 15

10 pounds of cocaine, almost seven times what had been

11 purchased on the first trip.

12 The defendant gets the cocaine from Margarite,

13 gives it uo the diplomat to smuggle back into the United

14 s~ates. The diplomat brings it back into the coun~ry. The

15 defendant gets it from the diplomat and gives this cocaine

16 to Ferneborg, who sells the cocaine for approximately

17 $300,000.

18 Ferneborg, Margarite and the defenda.nt were

19 ecstatic from the profit from this cocaine trip and, again,

20 plan another trip as soon as they can, just a few weeks

21 later in August of 1978.

22 And this one works just like the other two.

23 Margarite flies down and sets up the cocaine deal. The

24 defendant flies down to Columbia one more time, again

25 carrying about $100,000.

STANLEY B. RIZMAN, CSR, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER, NEWARK, N.J.


(
24

l' Margarite had brought down $60,000 and Sten

2 Lundagar brought down another $60,000. Margarite takes the

3 money and buys the cocaine1 this time 27 pounds,

4 approximately1 almost twice the second trip and almost 15

5 times the amount of cocaine on the first trip.

6 The defendant gets the cocaine from Margarite,

7 gives it to the diplomat to smuggle into the United States,

8 gets the cocaine back from the diplomat and brings it to

9 Ferneborg, who sold this cocaine for almost half a million

10 dollars.

11 After the success of these three cocaine trips,


12 uhe defendant, Margarite and Ferneborg begin planning a Thai

13 stick trip. Again from Bangkok, Thailand. This one

14 involving approximately 3700 pounds, almost two tons, of

15 Thai stticks.

16 Now, this quantity of Thai sticks was obviously

17 excuse me -- was obviously too large for the diplomats to

18 carry in suitcases. So these Thai sticks they were going to

19 sends out in boxes. Send them over in ships and store them

20 in a warehouse right here in New Jersey.


21 $300,000 was invested in this Thai stick trip.

22 Margarite and Ferneborg and a man named Steven Kaufman put

23 up about $100,000. Carmine Marino, who I will tell you

24 about in a moment, put up another $100,000 and the defendant

25 invested ~he third $100,000.

STANLEY B. RIZMAN, CSR, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER, NEWARK, N.J.


(
25

l' Carmine Marino's job in the scheme was to pay

2 off Custom officials on the docks in Brooklyn so the Thai

3 sticks could come into the United States.


i
4 those $300,000 which was invested in the Thai stick deal was

5 carried t~ Bangkok, Thailand in the fall of 1978,

6 approximately September, by Joseph Margarite, Stten Lundagar

7 and two Danish fellows named Neils Hammer and Michael

8 Andreason. Several people were required to carry the money

9 to Thailand because it is against the law to carry large

10 sums of money outside the country without filling out forms

11 which the drug dealers obviously weren't going to do. So

12 what they would do is buy suitcases, open them up and tear

13 out the lining very carefully, lay $100 within the lining,

14 close it up. You would look into what appears to be an

15 empty briefcase into which approximately $100,000 of $100

16 bills was hidden.

17 Around September of 1978 the four of them go to

18 Thailand and Margarite is supposed to set up the purchase of

19 the Thai stick load, but he ran into problems. First, Thai

20 sticks are a plant, and like any other kind of plant, they

21 have to be harvested. At the beginning the crop wasn't

22 ready. It wasn't ripe. Then after several weeks delay, the

23 crop was ready but it was poor quality. It wasn't going to

24 make enough money for Margarite, Ferneborg and the defendant

25 back in the United States.

STANLEY B. RIZMANr CSR, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER, NEWARK, N.J.


(

26
'
Butt finally, after several months, almost until

2 December or January, Margarite finally found a very good

3 high quality Thai suick crop. But by this time most of the

4 $300,000 he had invested was gone. Although he had brought

5 the money_over with him, he had had to pay money for the

6 first Thai stick load which he didn't want and wasn't any

7 good. And he had also paid money to Thai customs officials

8 for clearance of the Thai sticks out of the country,

9 payoffs, even though he never bought the Thai sticks which

10 he didn't want.

11 So, some of this money was gone and he needed

12 more. So what did he do? Around February of 1979 ~he

13 defendant, Ferneborg and Margarite came up with a plan. The

14 defendant and his diplomat would fly to Bangkok, bring back

15 samples of the Thai sticks, which would be sold, and would

16 also interest other investors to put up money for the Thai

17 sticks. The money would go back to Thailand to Margarite

18 and he could pay for the larger 3700 pound load. And that

19 is exactly what trhey did.

20 In February of 1979 the defendant and the

21 diplomat flew to Bangkok, Thailand. Margarite gave the

22 defendant two suitcases, about 70 pounds of Thai sticks.

23 The defendant gave them to the diplomat who smuggled them

24 back into the United States. The defendant gets the Thai

25 sticks back from the diplomat and gave them to Ferneborg,

l who sold these Thai sticks for about 150,000 dollars. These

2 were some of the finest Thai sticks these were some of

3 the finest Thai sticks that anybody in the United States had

4 ever seen. Jay Sicre -- remember the fellow who had --

5 (Juror coughing.)
l
6 MR. SELLINGER: Jay Sicre, the man who had

7 entrusted the defendant to Ferneborg and Margarite carried

8 that $150,000 back to Bangkok, Thailand.

9 And then Margarite with the new $150,000

10 investment was able to buy the 3700 pound load which he had

11 gone over there for. He bought the load. He packaged them

12 in boxes labeled "Ceramics."

13 He paid off customs officials in Thailand to

14 get the drugs out of the United States. But, unfor•unately,

15 unfortunately for the defendant, for Margarite and for

16 Ferneborg, ~he Thai customs officials who had been paid off

17 to let the boxes go through were observed by other police

18 officers, not doing their job properly and not searching the

19 boxes. Other police officers came. Opened the boxes. And

20 on the docks in Bangkok the Thai sticks were seized. All

21 3700 pounds were gone and two million dollars were lost.

22 Margarite avoided being arresued and went back

23 to the United States. And once back in the country, he and

24 Ferneborg, his former partner, had a disagreement over money

25 that they had made in the drug dealing business and they

STANLEY B. RIZMAN, CSR, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER, NEWARK, N.J.


( (
28

l split up. They never saw each other again after the spring

2 or summer of 1979. But the defendant and Margarite were not

3 discouraged by the departure of Ferneborg who had moved to

4 Stan Francisco, and they began to plan additional trips to

5 make up some of the money that they had lost in Bangkok.

6 So around March of 1979 uhey planned another

7 Thai stick trip, this one wi~h a man named Michael McGovern

8 who was in a partnership with some ouher people you'll hear

9 about during the trial, also drug dealers. And in

10 approximately March of 1979 McGovern went to Bangkok,

11 Thailand, again to buy approximately 70 pounds of Thai

12 sticks, two suitcases.

13 The defendant follows to Bangkok, Thailand,

14 shortly afterwards. The defendant gets the suitcases from

15 McGovern, gives them to the diplomat. The diplomat smuggles

16 the drugs back into the United States. The defendant gets

17 the Thai st.icks from the diplomat and gives them back to

18 Margarite who sells these Thai sticks. These Thai sticks,

19 however, weren't nearly as good as the ones which had come

20 in before, and they didn't make nearly as much money selling

21 them.
22 Then in approximately May of 1979 the defendant

23 and Margarite plan another cocaine deal in Columbia. But on

24 this deal they had a problem. Since they had lost so much

25 money in Thailand, chey didn't have the cash to pay up front

STANLEY B. RIZMAN, CSR, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER, NEWARK, N.J.


29

l' for the cocaine.

2 The defendant had bought a house in Long

3 Island. He bought a new BMW 737I. It's one of those fancy

4 cars. As a matter of fact, he had other investments, excuse

5 me, investments which made him so short of cash that he was

6 even pawning his jewelry at the time. so Margarite and the


7 defendants needed a way to finance uhis cocaine load.

8 Margarite was able to talk the supplier of the cocaine into

9 fronting tho cocaine. What that means is they gave them the

10 cocaine first and Margarite paid for it after he -- after

11 the defendant and the diplomat had brought it back and it

12 was sold.
13 So approximately May 6f '79 Margarite flies
14 down to this time Cartagena, Columbia, another town in

15 Columbia, and purchases approximately 24 pounds of cocaine.

16 The defendant follows to Columbia, picks up the cocaine from

17 Margarite and gives it to the diplomat to smuggle back into

18 the United States.

19 Now, on this trip the defendant didn't come

20 just with the diplomats. He brought his girlfriend, named

21 Jennifer Fearnon along. Jennifer didn't know that the

22 defendant was in the drug dealing business. So when the

23 defendant go~ the cocaine from Margarite and transferred it

24 to the diplomat, he left Jennifer at the hotel room, left to

25 meet Margarite and the diplomat and Jennifer never knew.

STANLEY B. RIZMAN, CSR, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER, NF.::WARK, N.J.


(
30
,
l And in order to make sure that Jennifer didn't find out

2 about his drug dealing activities, or that anybody else

3 would find out ei~her if they ever looked, while in Columbia

4 the defendant negotiated or attempted to negotiate a

5 lcgit:imat~ coffee or commodities deal. Part of his

6 business. And he even told Margarite that on almost every

7 trip when he went to Columbia or went to Thailand, he was

8 negotiating legitimate commodities deals because, as he

9 explained to Margarite, whau better cover for a drug dealing

10 business than a legitimate commodities deal, the precise

11 business that he was in.


12 In any event, the cocaine goes from the

13 defendant to the diplomat who.

14 MR. BREITBART: Judge

15 MR. SELLINGER: -- got it into the United

16 states.

17 THE COURT: Yes.

18 MR. BREITBART: I object. Everything so far

19 has been in the first person. I thought there was a time

20 when he would say witnesses will testify. But Mr. Sellinger

21 has been testifying for almost 25 minutes now.

22 MR. SELLINGER: Your Honor, this is exactly

23 what the government will prove.

24 THE COURT: Well, just say what you'll prove.

25 That is what you are supposed to say. We will prove to you.

STANLEY B. RIZMAN, CSR, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER, NEWARK, N.J.


(
31

2 MR. SELLINGER: Ladies and gentlemen, the

3 government will prove that the cocaine went back to the

4 United States through the diplomat. The defendant got the

5 cocaine from the diplomat and gave it back to Margarite who

6 sold his cocaine in May of '79 for approxima~ely half a

7 million dollars.

8 Now, much of this was in the profit, however,

9 because the cost of this cocaine, since it was fronted in

10 advance, was far higher than the other cocaine.

11 And, finally, in July of 1979, the government

12 will prove the defendant and Margarite planned yet another,

13 and uhis their final drug deal. Again, in Bangkok,

14 Thailand. Margarite went over to Bangkok, Thailand and

15 bought approximately 80 pounds of Thai sticks. Again, the

16 defendant followed shortly afterwards. Again, the defendant

17 brought Jennifer along on this trip and again Jennifer

18 didn't know.

19 Now, the government will prove that the

20 defendant would not introduce Jennifer to Margarite because

21 then Jennifer would realize his well concealed secret; that

22 he was dealing in drugs with people like Margarite. But the

23 defendant did not think that if he introduced Jennifer to

24 the diplomat that his secret would be revealed because the

25 diplomat had an air of respectability just like the

STANLEY B. RIZHAN, CSR, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER, NEWARK, N.J.


( (
32

l defendant.

2 And, also, the defendant thought that the

3 diplomat could not be tied to drugs.

4 MR. BREITBAnT: I object to what he thinks the


5 defendant thought.

6 MR. SELLINGER: Judge, this is not what I

7 think. The government will prove --

8 THE COURT: Why don't you say that?

9 MR. SELLINGER: Yes, your Honor.

10 The government will prove, ladies and


11 gentlemen, that 1n July of 1979 J~~nifer, the defendant and
12 the diplomat had dinner twice in Bangkok, Thailand. And

13 just days afterwards the government will prove the diplomat


14 carried that Thai sticks, the 80 pounds of Thai sticks, he

15 had gotten from the diplomat -- from the defendant, back to

16 the United States with a stopover in Paris. And while in

17 Paris the diplomat's bags were opened.

18 Now, you remember that I explained the

19 diplomatic immunity means that normally a diplomat's bags

20 aren't searched. But in this case the bags smelled of


21 marijuana. A Customs agent saw the bags, opened the bags,

22 saw the marijuana, the Thai sticks, seized them, informed

23 the embassy that Olayinka Fisher, the diplomat, resided --

24 worked for. The diplomat was fired. He lost his diplomatic

25 status, and, thus, came the end of this worldwide scheme,

33
'
1 this international plot between Margarite, the defendant and

2 Ferneborg, to use the diplomat to smuggle into the United

3 States millions of dollars worth of cocaine and marijuana.


4 Then in 1979, two years later in San Francisco,

5 in 1981, ferneborg was arrested on a different drug deal.

6 He decided to cooperate, to turn state's evidence, to come

7 into court and tell you what happened.

8 A year later, in South Carolina, Joseph

9 Margarite was arrested on a differen~ drug deal. He agrees

10 to cooperate, and turns state's evidence and comes into


11 couru and tell you what happened.

12 What does all of this ad up to? It adds up to


13 the indictment in this case from a United States Grand Jury.

14 And a Grand Jury is nothing more than a group of men and

15 women just like yourselves. A United States Grand Jury has

16 charged this defendant with committing several crimes

17 against the United States.


18 In Count 1 of the indictment they charge that

19 in New Jersey and elsewhere, as in every count, and as the

20 government will prove, excuse me, the defendant plotted and

21 schemed, or in legal words, he conspired to distribute


22 controlled substances, like the cocaine and the Thai sticks

23 that these 9 trips are about.

24 And this chart, although it is not evidence,

25 represents a piece of the indictment which is the trips &he

STANLEY B. RIZMAN, CSR, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER, NEWARK, N.J.


34
,-
l Gr and Jury charged the defendant with doing. In Count 2 of

2 the indictment the Grand Jury charged the defendant with

3 operating a continuing criminal enterprise. And all that

4 means is, one, he took part in a continuing series.

5 MR. BREITBART: I would object to him charging

6 this jury on the law.

7 THE COURT: I haven't heard what he's going to

8 say, yet. Objection overruled. Hejs entitled to explain

9 what the charges are and how he's going to prove them.

10 Indeed, I suspect you're going to be making some references

11 to some legal principles yourself, won't you?

12 MR. BREITBART: I would hope wiuh the Court's

13 imprimatur.
3
14 THE COURT: Proceed.

15 MR •. SELLINGER: Thank you, your Honor.

16 All this means is that the defendant took part

17 in a con~inuing series of at least three federal drug

18 violations.

19 Second, that he did so with at least five other

20 persons; Margarite, the diplomat, Ferneborg, Lundagar,

21 McGovern, all the purchasers and buyers of the cocaine and

22 the Thai sticks that I haven't even mentioned yet in my

23 opening.

24 Third, that he occupied a position of a

25 supervisor, a manager or an organizer, as obviously he,

STANLEY B. RIZMAN, CSR, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER, NEWARK, N.J.


/I
35

'
l Ferneborg and Margarite did since they were at the head, at

2 the top of the illegal scheme.

3 And, fourth, that the defendant obtained

4 substantial profits from this drug deal, in hundreds of

5 .
thousands . of dollars that t.hey made together.

6 In Count 3 and Count 4 the Grand Jury charged

7 the defendant with importing, distributing and possessing

8 with intent to distribute the cocaine which is -- which they

9 brought back on the July, 1978 cocaine trip.

10 In Count 5 and Count 6 of the indictment they

11 charge the defendant with importing, distributing and

12 possessing with the intent to distribute the Thai stick


13 samples, the 70 pounds which the defendant and the diplomat

14 went over to Bangkok to get in February of '79 to refinance

15 uhe larger, approximately two ton, 3700 pound load.

16 And, finally, in Count 7 the Grand Jury charged

17 the defendant with attempting to import the Thai -- a

18 quantity of Thai sticks, the approximately 3700 pounds of

19 Thai sticks which were seized on the docks in Bangkok in

20 February of 1979 and which were to be stored here in New

21 Jersey.

22 Ladies and gentlemen, the United States will

23 prove that each and every charge of the indictment is true.

24 Gusta Ferneborg will come into court and tell you the cruth.

25 Joseph Margarite will come into court and tell you they're

STANLEY B. RIZMAN, CSR, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER, NEWARK, N.J.


36
l

l true. Other witnesses will come into court and tell you

2 they're true. Margarite, Ferneborg, some other cooperating

3 witnesses, will testify under plea agreements with the

4 United States where they have agreed -- where the United


5 States has agreed to permit them to plead guilty to reduce

6 ~he charges, limiting the exposure to time than they spend

7 in jail, in exchange for their promise to come into court

8 and tell you the truth about their drug dealing activities,

9 not only with the defendant but all their drug dealing

10 activities.

11 Now, I uell you right now than Gusta Ferneborg,

12 Joseph Margarite, some of the other cooperating witnesses,

13 they are not choir boys, they are not priests, tthey not

14 pillars of the community. They are career criminals.

15 Exactly what you'd expect these drug dealers to be.

16 Margarite and Ferneborg even once helped a man named Buddy

17 Jacobson get guns and get rid of guns, which Jacobson used

18 in a murder for which he, Jacobson, was convicted. And

19 Margarite even discussed killing Ferneborg after che two of

20 them had split up.

21 But, ladies and gentlemen, these are the men

22 that the defendant chose to deal drugs with, to travel wich,

23 to associate with, to invite to his apartment, and to shar~

24 some of the most intimate details of his life with. As you

25 will hear in this case, the defendant told Joseph Margarit~

STANLEY B. RIZMAN, CSR, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER, NEWARK, N.J.


37

l details of his life that only those closest to him could

2 ever know.

3 Now, at the end of the case Judge Stern will

4 tell you that you must view the testimony of Margarite and

5 .
Ferneborg_with care.
.
And we, for the government, urge you

6 to do that. We urge you to view their testimony carefully.

7 We urge you to scrutinize their testimony. We urge you not

8 to accept their testimony unless you are satisfied by

9 independent evidence in which you have confidence that it is

10 correct testimony. We urge you to look for corroboration or

11 confirmation of that testimony. And I tell you right now

12 you're going to find it. You're going to find it in the.


13 testimony of witness after witness after witness who will

14 come to court and tell you that the charges against the

15 defendant are true. Two of the witnesses, Margarite and

16 Fcrneborg, haven't even seen each other since 1979.

17 You will find corroboration and confirmation in

18 the testimony and documents of innocent bystanders like

19 Jennifer Fearnon, the defendant's girlfriend, who knew

20 nothing about his drug dealing activities, but uell you

21 information which will confirm that the charges against the

22 defendant are true.

23 Now, one thing I'd like to tell you is what

24 you're not going to hear in the case. You're not going to

25 see movie clips and tape recordings of Margarite, Ferneborg

STANLEY B. RIZMAN, CSR, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER, NEWARK, N.J.


(
38

l and the defendant dealing these drugs. Why? Because drugs

2 deals are conducted in secret and not in Yankee Stadium and

3 because all these deals were completed before anybody got


4 caught.
4
5 You're also not going to see any cocaine and

6 any Thai sticks brought into cour~ because they sold it all
7 except for that which was seized in Bangkok and Paris

8 long -- many years ago and were since destroyed. But rest

9 assured the government will prove that the cocaine and the

10 Thai sticks were tthere. That the defendant. financed their

11 purchase. The defendant was involved in the scheme to


12 import those drugs and to sell them.

13 Now, I ask you during the course of this trial,

14 the opening stauement and cross-examination of Mr.

15 Breitbart, to remember that Margarite and Ferneborg aren't

16 on trial in this case. They have already pleaded guilty and

17 admitted th.eir drug dealing activities. Margarite and

18 Ferneborg -- Ferneborg has already been sentenced and he

19 served a year and a half in jail. He's back on the street

20 now. Margarite has served approximately a year or a year

21 and a half in jail, and he's awaiting sentencing and will

22 receive the appropriate punishment from the sentencing

23 judge.

24 But they are not on trial in the case and the

25 issue in this case is not whether Margarite and Ferneborg

STANLEY B. RIZMAN, CSR, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER, NEWARK, N.J.


(
39

l are good people or bad people. You may make that judgmenu,

2 but that is not the issue in the case. Nor is the issue

3 whether the defendanu was a successful businessman or

4 whether he really needed the money that he made in his drug

5 dealing activities. The only issue in this case is whether

6· uhe charges against the defendant that he was involved in

7 this multi-million dollar drug smuggling scheme are true.

8 And we will prove that they are.

9 Looking ahead to the end of the case. On

10 behalf of all of us, I'd like to thank you for your time and

11 the personal sacrifice that each of you are willing to make

12 to perform the important public service that sitting on this

13 jury involves, for it is only in cour~rooms like these that

14 the laws against drug smuggling can finally be enforced.

15 All the government asks of you in this case is

16 to listen to all the evidence, to keep your mind on the

17 issue in the case, the guilt or the innocence of the

18 defendant, but not the guilt or the innocence of anyone

19 else. And if you do that, you will have done your job. You

20 will have given the defendant a fair trial, justice will

21 have been done and I am confident that you will return a

22 verdict that the defendant is guilty as charged. Thank you

23 very much.

24 MR. BREITBART: Judge, may we take a

25 five-minute recess now?

Re: United States v. Tracy Wong, et al.


8 3 er im . 19 9
Dear Mr. Levy:
Having reviewed the discovery items provided by the go-
vernment on October 2, 1991 as well as the government's open-
ing statement before Judge Stern in the trial of defendant
Tracy Wong, I request on behalf of defendant Sten Lundager
that the government provide the following particulars with
respect to the pending indictment:

1. the names and addresses of all alleged co-con-


spirators not identified in the indictment or in the
government's opening statement;

2. the location (i.e., airport and federal judicial


district) of the alleged acts of cocaine importation;

3. the location (i.e., airport and federal judicial


district) of the alleged acts of marijuana importa-
tion;

4. when and where the defendant Sten Lundager is alleged


to have become a member of the conspiracy alleged in
Count One of the indictment;

5. the dates, times, and places of any alleged acts of


defendant Sten Lundager within the State of New
Jersey that the government will seek to prove;
Assistant U.S. Attorney Bruce Levy

6. the dates and location(s) within the State of New


Jersey of the alleged acts of narcotics importation
and distribution, and the dates and location(s) of
all other alleged acts of narcotics importation and
distribution that the government will seek to prove,
together with the counts of the indictment which are
alleged to pertain to said acts;

7. the dates and departure and return airports of the


overseas trips that defendant Sten Lundager is al-
leged to have taken;
8. the nature, time and location of any act of Sten
Lundager alleged to be in furtherance of the alleged
conspiracy that has not already been described in the
government's opening statement before Judge Stern;
9. whether or not defendant is alleged to have committed
any acts of importation of narcotics;
10. whether or not defendant is alleged to have committed
any acts of distribution of narcotics.

These particulars are essential to enable the accused to be


adequately apprised of the nature and scope of the accusa-
tions against him and to prepare his defense, as guaranteed by
the Sixth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Therefore any
requested particulars that the government declines to provide
will be the subject of motion practice before the Court.

truly yours,

Re: Sten Lundager

Dear Mr. Levy:

On September 18, 1991, I requested the return of my client's


passport and his return airline ticket. To date I have received
no response to my request that you return these items to me.

As you know, defendant is at the very least entitled to


inspect these items under Fed. R. Crim. P. 16. Therefore the
failure to provide these i terns or copies thereof will be the
subject of defendant's motions before Judge Brown if they are not
received by October 10, 1991.

I also request a complete list of the items taken from my


client at the time of his arrest and the opportunity to inspect all
of those items.

Very truly yours,

~:ernstein

Re: Sten Lundager
Dear Mr. Levy:
Pursuant to Rule 16, Fed. R. Crim. P., the Court's dis-
covery order entered September 10, 1991, and the principles of
Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963), inter alia, we request
that you produce for inspection on or before September 25, 1991
the following materials. We respectfully submit that discovery
of these materials is necessary to the preparation of the
defense.

1. Statements of the Defendant: Pursuant to Fed. R.


Crim. P. 16(a) (1) (A) and Para. l(a) of the Court's discovery
order, we request the government to permit inspection and
copying of all written or recorded statements of the defendant,
as well as the substance of any oral statement made by defen-
dant whether before o·r after arrest. This request includes any
statements made to agents of any United States government
entity, including without limitation any employees or agents of
the United States Attorney's Office, the United States Marshals
Service, the Immigration and Naturalization Service, and the
Drug Enforcement Administration. This request also includes
the substance of any statements made to any individuals who
were acting as de facto agents of such entities, whether as a
result of behest, direction, inducement or coercion of any
official agents or as a result or any cooperation and/or plea
agreements entered into with government agencies. This request
includes statements the existence of which is known to, or by
'

the existence of due diligence may become known to, the attor-
ney for the government.

2. Reoorts of Physical or Mental Examinations and


Scientific Studies: Pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 16(a) (1) (D),
we request the government to permit inspection and copying of
all reports or results of physical or mental examinations and

of the government, the existence of which is known to, or may
by the exercise of due diligence become known to, the attorney
for the government. This request includes reports of mental
and psychiatric examination of any government witness, includ-
ing reports of all such examinations performed for the U.S.
Marshal's Service in connection with government witnesses in
the Witness Protection Program. This request also includes all
reports concerning the testing and amount of the alleged
narcotics which are the subject of this case, whether such
reports were prepared in the United States or elsewhere (inclu-
ding, without limitation, France). If any expert witness is
expected to testify at trial, defendant requests the name,
address and qualifications of said witness.
3. Defendant's Property: Pursuant to Fed. R. Crim.
P. 16(a) (1) (C), we request the government to permit inspection
and copying (where applicable) of all books, papers, bank

are within the possession, custody or control of the govern-
ment or its de facto agents as defined above. This request
includes, without limitation, all alleged narcotic drugs,
buildings, warehouses, airline tickets, passports, currency,
and narcotics paraphernalia which the government alleges were
defendant's property or were subject to defendant's dominion or
control.

4. Evidence Material to Preparation of the Defense:


Pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 16 (a) (1) (C), defendant requests
the government to perinit him to inspect and copy all materials
which may be material to the preparation of the defense,
including, without limitation, all materials referred to in
Paragraphs 1 - 3, above; all airline tickets, surveillance
photographs, tape recordings, books, papers or other documents
and materials tending to show the whereabouts of the defendant
during the period of the indictment; all airline tickets,
surveillance photographs, tape recordings, books, papers or
other documents and materials tending to show the whereabouts
and activities of the other defendants during the time period
of the indictment. This request also includes any books,
papers, documents, photographs, or tangible objects which are

intended for use by the government as evidence in its case in


chief at trial, or which were the subject of any subpoena
issued by the government or by the grand jury which returned
the indictment, as well as any subpoena(s) pursuant to which
such material was obtained.

5. Exculpatory Evidence: Pursuant to Brady v. Mary-


land, supra, we request the opportunity to inspect and copy all
evidence, including without limitation statements and testimony
of witnesses, which negates or tends to negate the alleged
guilt of the defendant on the charges in the indict~ent, which
is in the possession, custody or control of the U.S. Attorney's
Office, of any agency or entity of the U.S. government, or of
any de facto agent of the U.S. government (as defined above).
This request also includes the names, addresses and telephone
numbers of any persons who may know of, or be in possession of,
evidence or information which is exculpatory.

6. Previously Disclosed Materials: We request the


opportunity to inspect and copy the following items: (i) the
tax returns of defendant and others which were disclosed to the
U.S. attorney by the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to the
Court's order dated August 31, 1983 (Docket No. 1 13); (ii) the
statement and/or documents of Gosta Ferneborg to the Bronx
County District Attorney's Office ordered produced on April 4,
1988 (Docket No. 117); (iii) all DEA-6 reports previously
produced to defendants either following in camera review by the
Court pursuant to its order of April 12, 1988 (Docket No. 120),
or in connection with the hearing on April 4, 1988); and (iv)
all "Jencks Act" materials which were previously disclosed to
defendant Tracy Wong or his counsel.

7. Identification of Alleged Co-conspirators: Please


provide a list of all names, aliases and addresses of each and
every alleged co-conspirator of the defendant known to the
Government or whose out-of-court statements the government will
attempt to introduce at trial pursuant to Fed. R. Ev. 80l(d)-
(2) (E).

a. Search Warrants and Other Suppressible Evidence:


Pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 12(d) (2), please provide copies of
any and all search or arrest warrants and supporting affidavits

Page 4

pursuant to a warrant or not, regardless of whether anytime


were seized or not, and identify all evidence resulting from
any search or arrest which the government intends to introduce
into evidence at trial.

9. Electronic Surveillance: If there was any elec-


tronic surveillance involved in this investigation, please
provide all court orders and supporting documents, as well as
transcripts of intercepted conversations, logs, and sealing
orders. If there were any consensual recordings not otherwise
disclosed, please identify the times, dates, participants, and
locations, and provide copies of tapes and draft transcripts of
recorded conversations.
10. Impeachment Material: Pursuant to Brady,
Giglio v. United States, 405 U.S. 150 (1972), and their pro-
geny, please provide all evidence reflecting on every prospec-
tive witness's competency, credibility, bias, or motive for
testifying. This request includes inter alia information
concerning relationships of any prospective government witness
with the prosecutor and/or police or federal law enforcement
agencies, including paid informant status as well as the
criminal record, criminal conduct, drug abuse, alcoholic abuse,
and mental and physical health history of all prospective
government witnesses. This request also includes any state-
ments which may arguably be viewed as inconsistent with state-
ments of any witnesses on whom the government will rely at
trial, as well as statements inconsistent with the theory of
the crimes advanced by the prosecutor, or by a prosecution
witness or informant. This request includes all inconsisten-
cies among any statements, internal or otherwise, of said
witnesses or informants. This request also includes any Giglio
material which may be contained in statements subject to the
Jencks Act; we request that all such material be produced
immediately as pretrial disclosure thereof is required for the
effective preparation of the defense. This request also
includes full and complete information concerning any benefits
offered to any witness or his family pursuant to provisions of
the Witness Protection Program.

11. Informants: Please provide the names and addres-


ses of all informants involved in the investigation of this
case or who may be witnesses at trial, and provide all orders,
memoranda agreements (formal and informal), granting them or
their relatives any form of immunity from criminal prosecutions
for the witnesses' conduct, or which might reasonably provide a
motive for the witness's cooperation, and all records, memoran-
da, and correspondence between the informants and law enforce-
ment authorities which might reasonably reflect on the wit-

nesses' motives and relationships with the government, includ-


ing full and complete information concerning any benefits
offered to any witness or his family pursuant to provisions of
the Witness Protection Program.

12. Prior Similar Acts: If the government intends to


introduce in its case in chief any alleged similar conduct
which is not charged in the indictment, the defendant respect-
fully requests that the government state in advance of trial
the date that the alleged conduct took place, whether or not
such conduct is alleged to constitute a crime under any fede-
ral, state or other law, the identity of all parties to the
alleged conduct, whether or not any party was prosecuted in
connection with such conduct, and the Rule 404(b) theory on
which the government will seek admission of its evidence of
such conduct.

13. Jencks Act Material: We respectfully request


that the government produce at least thirty (30) days before
trial all prior statements of any prospective government
witness, including statements which have not already been
disclosed in the prior trial as well ~s those which have been
disclosed.
Pursuant to the provisions of the court's discovery order,
we request a conference with respect to the government's
production of the materials requested above. Any materials not
produced will be addressed in defendant's pretrial motions.

Please note that the government's discovery and Brady


obligations are continuing ones.

Very truly yours,

cc. The Hon. Garrett Brown

When my client was arrested the U.S. Marshals Service seized
his passport and his return airline ticket. The government does
not need either of these as long as he remains in custody. I
would appreciate your returning these items to me.

Re: United States v. Sten Lundegar


Crim. No. 83-199(GEB)

Dear Mr. Bernstein:

Pursuant to the Court's Standard Order of Discovery and


Rule 16 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, with respect
to the above reference case, I am turning over copies of the
following items: (1) address book of Neils Hammer; (2) telex from
U.S. customs dated 12/1/83; (3) notebook belonging to Gosta
Fernebourg; (4) address book of Gosta Fernebourg; (5) address
book belonging to Tracy Wong; and (6) two address books belonging
to Joseph Margarite.

The original Custom's telex is available for your inspection


at our offices at a mutually convenient time. With respect to
the other items, the United States only possesses copies. The
United States also has several slides that may be used at trial.
Copies of these slides have been ordered and will be provided to
defense counsel as soon as they are available.

Regarding your written discovery request dated September


1991 and the specific requests in paragraph number six, I have
reviewed the Government's file and so far have been unable to
locate the tax returns referenced in Docket No. 13. I shall
continue to try and locate these tax returns. With respect to
the documents ordered produced and DEA-6 reports, a review of the
file indicates that your request refers to Jencks material
relating to one of the Government's witnesses, Joseph Margarite,
whom the Government apparently intended to call in the trial of
Steven Kaufman. It is the position of the United States that the
Order you refer to does not apply to your client, who was not a
party to the motion and a fugitive at that time. Although not
required to do so, the Government agrees to produce Jencks
material on the day before the witness testifies. With respect
to Mr. Margarite, the Government has not made a final decision on
his testimony.

The United states is aware of its continuing obligation


to turn over all discoverable material to the defense and as soon
as it comes into my possession I will provide it to defense
counsel.

The United States hereby requests reciprocal discovery


of all documents, tangible objects, reports of examinations and
tests, and other information to which the government is entitled
under Rule 16(b) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.

Very truly yours,

STEN LUNDAGER

Defendant.

-------------------------------x

Roger Bernstein hereby declares under penalty of perjury

pursuant to 28 u.s.c. Section 1746 that the following is true and

correct:

1. I am counsel for Sten Lundager in this matter. I have

inquired of Mr. Lundager concerning the financial assets available

to him to secure his appearance before this Court. His assets


consist of the following:

1. Bank account in Citibank, Canada


(approximate balance: $10,000)

2. Bank account in Citibank, Spain


(approximate balance: $15,000)

3. Real estate in Ft. Lauderdale, FL.


jointly owned with Angela Pelafique
(approximate value of $75,000, subject
to $45,000 mortgage, per Ms. Pelafique).

2. I am advised by Mr. Lundager that these bank accounts

constitute all of his savings and that the foregoing is a complete

list of his financial assets.

3. In addition to these assets, Maya Reeves, an employed

individual living in Trenton, New Jersey, is willing to co-sign a


-. t ♦'·

bond to secure his release, and is willing to house Mr. Lundager

in Trenton, New Jersey and to assume supervision of him and

reporting obligations as a condition of his release.

4. In addition to these financial assets and an employed

surety, Mr. Lundager is willing to be placed under house arrest in

Ms. Reeves' house and to wear a non-removable "electronic bracelet"


to monitor his confinement there, as well as to report on a

periodic basis when required by any pretrial services agency.


Finally, Mr. Lundager is willing to abide by any other restriction
that the Court may impose as condition of release on bail.

5. I am advised by my client that he left the United states

in 1981, i.e., two calendar years before the return of the instant
indictment on July 1, 1983. Thus there is no basis for the
suggestion of flight to avoid prosecution that appears in the
pretrial service's officer's report.

must make a copy of that statement or confession available

to counsel for the non-declarant defendant, along with a


proposal for its redaction to conform with the require-

ments of Bruton vs. United States. If the government

makes no such disclosure and turnover within the time

period allowed, the confession may not be received at a

joint trial of the declarant and non-declarant defendants.

If, within ten(lO) days after receipt of the confession

of justice to make any disclosures set forth in paragraph 1,

of General Rule 12 of the General Rules of this Court.

(c) The motion shall set forth (1) the statement

that the prescribed conference was held; (2) the date


of the conference; (3) the name of the Assistant

United States Attorney with whom the conference was

held; (4) the matters which were agreed upon; and

(5) the matters which are in dispute and which require

the determination of the court.


3. Continuing Duty. Any duty of disclosure and

discovery set forth herin is a continuing one and the.United

States Attorney shall produce any additional information

disclosed until actually used at trial. The government shall

also pre-mark all Jencks Act materials s6 that no trial delay

is encountered while they are marked at the time of turning over

to defendant's counsel.

5. Authenticity of Exhibits. The authenticity of all

exhibits examined by defense counsel pursuant to the provisions

of paragraph 4 of this Order will be deemed to have been accept-

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
V. ORDER OF DETENTION PENDING TRIAL
STEIN LUNDEGAR Case Number: CR. 83-199 (J1:1dge•"Gerfy)
Defendant
In accordance with the Bail Reform Act, 18 U.S.C. §3142(0, a detention hearing has been held. I conclude that the following facts
are established by clear and convincing evidence and require the detention of the defendant pending trial in this case.
Part I - Findings of Fact
□ (1) The defendant has been convicted of a (federal offense) (state or local offense that would have been a federal offense if a cir-
cumstance giving rise to federal jurisdiction had existed) that is
0 a crime of violence as defined in 18 U.S.C. §3156(a)(4).
0 an offense for which the maximum sentence is life imprisonment or death.
□ an offense for which a maximum term ofimprisonment often years or more is prescribed in _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __

□ a felony that was committed after the defendant had been convicted of two or more prior federal offenses described in
18 U.S.C. §3142(0(1)(A)-(C), or comparable state or local offenses.
□ (2) The offense described in finding 1 was committed while the defendant was on release pending trial for a federal, state or
local offense.
□ (3) A period of not more than five years has elapsed since the (date of conviction) (release of the defendant from imprisonment)
for the offense described in finding 1.
□ (4) Findings Nos. 1 and (2) (3) establish a rebuttable presumption that no condition or combination of conditions will reasonably
assure the safety of (an)other person(s) and the community. I further find that the defendant has not rebutted this presump-
tion.

~
Alternative Findings
(1) ~ e is probable cause to believe that the defendant has committed an offense 1;-
l!S] for which a maximum term of imprisonment often years or more is prescribed in 1,-/ <..t.J" C \I al[,. .2 H (:., n-:t,-
0 under 18 U.S.C. §924(c). J
~(2) The defendant has not rebutted the presumption established by finding 1 that no condition or combination of conditions will
reasonably assure the appearance of the defendant as required and the safety of the community.
Alternative Findings

□ (1)

□ (2)

□ (3) There is a serious risk that the defendant will flee.


□ (4) There is a serious risk that the defendant will (obstruct or attempt to obstruct justice) (threaten, injure, or intimidate a pro-
spective witness or juror).
Part II • Written Statement of Reasons for Detention

The defendant is committed to the custody of the Attorney General or his designated representative for confinement in a corrections

1 THE coui:rr: United States versus Steven Warren
( Mr. Greenaway appearing for the United States.

3 Mr. Zegas appearing for the defense.

Good afternoon~ your Honor.

Good afternoon, your Honor

6 THE CDLJHT: This is the time set for the sentencing.

7 Mr. Zegas, have you and your client reviewed the presentence

9 Yes~ we have, your Honor.

10 THE COURT: Do you have any additions or corrections

l '.2

13 THE COURT~ What ar··c~ they?

l4 On the first page, my name 1s mis-

15 It says Alex Zegas, i t should be Alan.

1.6 be:~ i:ffl "LI!. That is the major correction.

:l 7 THE COUF<T: Any other changes?

18 On pages 2 and 3 of the presentence

THE COURT:

2:l. First, your Honor, Mr. Kaufman did not

meet either Mr. Fernberg er Mr. Margarite until 1978. I

believe the conspiracy dates back to 1977.

24 whether the Government meant to suggest that Mr. Kaufman met

25 Fernberg and Margarite earlier than that, but in fact did


(

1 not meet these people until the fall of

2 THE COUHT: It says in the fall of '77 1 Fernberg,

Margarite and the others conspired. It doesn't say the

4 others included Kaufman. It says Fernberg and Margarite

5 provide a portion of these Thai sticks to Kaufman. You say

6 Kaufman did not meet these individuals until when?

7 MF<. ZEGhS: The fall of 1978 1 your Honor.

8 THE COUffl": Does the United States dispute

:i. i) I believe i t was July, 1978, I am

:1.1 sc:ir-r-y.

12 THE COUHT: De you disagree with the defense's

13 assertion that July of '78 was when they met?

Make i t simpl~, Judge, any factual

15 allegation that Mr. Zegas disputes with the Government's

16 version I oppose, because this is what I was prepared to

17 prove at trial 1 and I stand by it.

18 THE CDURT: But what you were prepared to prove,

19 how does that go to when the parties met?

MR. l3REENhJ;.JAY; Well, Jucige 7 I said in here when

21 they met and if ha says i t is otherwise, I dispute it.

. ::..;;.,
•-~, l''j
THE COURT: It says, it doesn't say that .

It says in the early part of 1978

they gave him --

Early part of '78, he says July~ '78.


(
THE COUl::::T: The question is whether that~=

5 That is for the Court to find.

6 THE CCJUF<Tn Okay .. Any ether additions or

7 corrections to page 2 only?

Also on page 2, your Honor, the

9 defendant denies that he distributed any Thai sticks, and he

10 denies that he invested $35,000 in the cocaine deal.

11 THE CDUHT: Do you have extensive additions or

12 corrections to this report?

l Lj. Okc:1.y .. PrcH::ecc1d ..

On page 3, Mr. Kaufman denies investing

16 $200~000 in Thai stick deal, and he denies investing or

l.7 selling cocaine.

:1.8 THE CDURTn Ok.~y.

He also denies taking in a million

20 dollars from various deals alleged to have been, alleged to

21 have occurred by the Government.

22 THE CCll.JRr: Ok,:1y ..

And finally, your Honor, on page 4, Mr.

24 Kaufman disputes the allegation that during 1980 he engaged


1=-=-·
\,~,.-·
in the sale of approximately 7,000 pounds of marijuana and
(

1 made payment to the seller of those drugs in approximately

( ~t:=5.4 million in cash. He has never been charged with such a

3 crime, he disputes that that occurred.

4 THE COLJF,:T: Are there any other additions,

5 corrections, or modifications to the presentence report?

MFL ZEBAB~ l\lc.1 ~ your Honor.

7 THE COUHT~ Are there any other materials that I

8 should have received that I don't currently have before me?

MF<. GF<EENhvU-) Y; Nothing from the Government, your

u. MR. ZEGAS~ Nothing from defendant, your Honor.

12 THE COUF<T~ And you have had a full

opportunity to review the presentence report, is that

MR. ZEGAS: And Mi. Kaufman has

reviewed it as well. And we have also signed, your Honor,

17 the forms provided to us by probation, one is a notice to

18 defendant concerning the presentence investigation report,

19 c:lnd thr-~ c.1ther c:c:mtc:~i f'l'?..; t.t·1i:~ modi ·f- i cation that ~-H::o c:c:mt:end

20 needs to be made to the report.

21. THE COURT: Perhaps you could provide me with a copy

Yes, I will hand both of these documents

24 up to your clerk, your Honor.

THE COURT~ Mr. Kaufman, have you had an opportunity


( (
t._-,

1 to review the presentence report?

:2 THE DEFENDhNT: Yes 1 I have, your Honor.

THE COUF(f: Are there any additions or corrections

4 other than those stated by your attorney?

THE DEFEND,'.::iNT:

6 THE COURT:

7 Now, Rule 32(c) (3) provides that the Court shall

8 afford the d&fendant and defendant's counsel an opportunity

9 to comment on the report and in the discretion of the Court

10 to introduce testimony or other information relating to any

11 alleged factual inaccuracy contained in i t .

I thereafter should make a finding as to the

13 allegation or a determination that no such finding is

14 necessary because the matter controverted will not be taken

15 into account in sentencing.

:1.6 Now 1 we have a number of aspects which Mr. Kaufman

17 It would appear from the defendant's statement

18 alone, the defendant's version, and the matters set forth at

19 the plea as well as the fact that the penalty is up to five

20 years 1n prison, and/or a $25,000 fine, that the Court's

21 sentence after hearing from defendant and his counsel might

22 well be the same whether I took these into account or not,

23 given the fact that also the defendant is serving a

24 fifteen-year sentence at the pr~sent time.

Unless, does the defense wish to introduce any


(

1 testimony or other information relating to any alleged


( factual inaccuracy as set forth in your statement on the

4 Your Honor, I rely on what we proffer to

I don't think that it is necessary for yo~ to consider

6 these other allegations in connection with imposing

7 sentence, particularly in light of the agreement that we had

8 reached with the Government concerning what sentence the

9 Government is willing to recommend to the Court.

10 I suggest that, also, your Honor, I refer your Honor

11 to page 4 of the presentence report where defendant outlines

his version of the offense. And I think that you can see

13 from Mr. Kaufman's own version that he recognizes that he

14 committed a crime, he helped arrange for $100,000 loan which

:l5 was secured by an airplane of Margarite'&. Ht~ knew th,:7\t ----

16 THE cour.:;;T: He went to Thailand and stayed two weeks


-,
1. I and, to set up this transaction.

j,8 And he knew that i t would involve 70

:l9 pounds cf Thai sticks. So I think that what he has admitted

20 in the presentence report is serious enough, without the

21 necessity of muddying the waters with these allegations that

22 are contested by Mr. Kaufman.

THE CDUFff: What is the United States' position on

24 this?

Based on the agreement that we have


(
C:)
c_,

1 reached, I don't think that a hearing is necessary.

However, I would state that we obviously have been at strong

3 variance with the version of the facts.

THE COUHT: Obviously 1 but in light of the United

5 States' position, in light of the factual basis set forth by

6 thf.? cle;;,ft-?ndant ,1 I don't knoi,,J thed:: I need ·t.o tctke -the·:i-e

7 additional aspects into consideration in imposing my

0
I Frankly, I don't think you de.

10 THE COURT:

11 before I pronounce sentence?

:l2 MF< .. ZEG;:~S: Yes, very briefly, your Honor.

If your Honor would remember, we have agreement with

14 the Government that we are both going to recommend to the

15 Court that any sentence that the Court imposes will run

16 concurrently to fifteen, it is -- to the fifteen-year term

that Mr. Kaufman _is now serving. And the reason for that

18 recommendation is because this offense? Judge, occurred in

19 more than ten years ago. The offense for which he is now

20 serving time occurred subsequent to that, it 1s a serious

21 offense and there will really be no penolcgical purpose

22 served if Mr. Kaufman were required to do additional jail

23 time for an offense that was committed so long ago.

I believe that particularly~ your Honor, in light of

the sentences that the others had received in this case~ the
(
C,

1 ethers being sentenced by Judge Stern, there is really no

2 purpose to be served by harshly treating Mr. Kaufman fo~

3 something that occurred so long age, particularly in light

4 of the sentence that t,e is currently serving.

5 And in light of these factors, Judge, in light of

6 Mr. Kaufman being an educated man, coming from a good

7 family, I would ask your Honor for leniency iM your

8 treatment of Mr. Kaufman, and I would also ask your Honor to

9 adept the suggestion as to sentencing that is being made

10 both by defendant and by the Government. And I would ask

11 your Honor to include, I believe it is in form AO 35 that is

12 submitted with your Honor's report at the time of

13 sentencing, that you ~~ecifically instruct Probation and

14 Parole that they are to disregard the fact of this

15 conviction in considering Mr. Kaufman's parole eligibility,

16 on the term that he is currently serving.

17 I didn't think any penological purpose would be

18 served if Parole were to consider the fact of his conviction

19 in light of what time Mr. Kaufman is already doing.

20 I would also ask your Honor that to the extent that

21 you do impose a sentence upon Mr. Kaufman, that he be given

22 credit fer time that he has served since being transferred

23 from South to MCC.

24 THE COURT: When was that?

25 MR. ZEGAS: July, '86, your Honor.


1 THE COUFrr~ He has been here on this case since July
(

THE DEFENDP1NT: Nc1.

He has been up here, your Honor, I am

5 sorry, since October af 1987. And in 1986, he had written a

6 letter to the United States Attorney's office indicating

7 that he was currently incarcerated down south, that he

8 learned of these current charges against him, and he asked

9 for a speedy trial in his letter. So he we would ask that

10 the time served date back to the time that he requested a

11 speedy trial.

Judge, only on that point of fact,

13 since I am basically going ta be quiet here, the letter was

14 received by the United States Attorney's office sometime in

1 1.:.-
,J July or August of 1987.

16 THE COURT: I don't know that I can take the time

17 into consideration befor~ he was in fact brought up here.

18 In any event, I think i t is somewhat academic since he is

19 serving fifteen years on the other charge. I ;_=,.m inc:l:i.ned to

20 give him credit for the time served since October of '87,

21 when he was in fact brought up here.

Anything further, Mr. Zegas?

Nothing further.

THE CDUHT: Mr. Kaufman, do you wish to be heard

before I pronounce sentence on you?


( (
:I. 1

1 At this time I have


( One thing, if I could apologize, if I

interrupted you, and I have been incarcerated since July of

4 '86, on the detainer, on this detainer, along with my other

5 cases,.

6 THE COURT: There was a detainer filed in July cf

8 THE DEFEND?)I\IT: I don't really know.

THE COUFH:: Is that correct?

1 (; It is net correct, Judge, because we

11 didn't know of Mr. Kaufman's whereabouts.

THE CO!..JHT: When did you file the detainer?

We sought to have him brought up

14- here in July of, or rather, September of 1987.

15 warrant has been outstanding en this man since July 8 of

16 1';/ff::..

17 THE cou1=n: That doesn't affect i t at all.

:LB So there is no detainer, per se.

19 There is a warrant outstanding for him since July of '83.

20 THE COURT: There is a difference

21 between a detainer and a warrant. I can't give him credit

22 for the time the warrant was out standing and he was

23 somewhere else.

Nothing from the Government.


1 THE DEFENDANT~ I have nothing further to say, your
( .

2 Honor.

THE COURT: Very well.

4 Steven Warren Kaufman, you stand before this Court

5 convicted? based upon your plea of guilty of distribution cf

A marijuana 1 a crime for which the Congress has prescribed a

, penalty of up to five years in prison, and/or a $25,000

8 fine.

9 As I look at your background, your record, and your

10 history, I don't know how I can reach you. I t seems to me

11 that anything that I am going to say probably should have

12 been said some time ago 1 and was probably said by the judge

13 in the other case.

14 I am quite concerned about your background, I am

15 quite concerned about the possibility of recidivism. You

16 are going back to the same course of conduct that you have

17 gone back to before.

18 You have had a lot of advantages, it doesn't seem

19 to have made too much difference.

20 On th& other hand, I consider the fact that this

21 crime was committed prior to the other one that you are

22 currently serving fifteen-year sentence, and that sentence,

23 I believe you were given credit for being in custody since

24 the time you were in custody on that case which was July of

25 1986. I am inclined to agree with the Government, that a


(

1 consecutive 5entence appears unwarranted, because this

2 offense occurred prior to the one in the Western District of

I also feel that a maximum sentence is required.

5 It is the judgment of the Court that the defendant is

o committed to the custody of the Attorney General of the

7 United States or his authorized representative for

8 imprisonment for a term of. five years, said sentence to run

9 concurrently with the sentence imposed on June 16, 1987 1 by

10 the Honorable Walter S. Smith, Jr., United States District

11 Court~ Western District of Texas, on criminal number 80-86

12 CR-99- 014.

13 It is further ordered that the defendant serve a

14- special parole term of ten years. No special assessment is

required, and no fine is imposed. I believe the fine was

16 already imposed by Judge Smith.

17 I am assessing the special parole term because I

18 think that you are in need of substantial supervision. It

19 is my sincere hope_that when you are paroled from the prior

sentence~ that you will remain law-abiding. 1-\nd if I can do

22 the reason I am imposing a special parole term.

listened to your statement that

'"".i il
...:.. ~-r the United States sought the writ in September of 1987. You

have been here since October of '87. I will take that into
( (
14

1 account, and I will give you credit fer time served on this
(
' 2 sentence since September of 1987, when the United States

filed the writ.

4 Now, I don't know what more I can say, Mr. Kaufman.

5 You don't seem to be a person that learns from experience,

6 but maybe at this juncture of your life, you are now 41

7 years old, I think, and this seems to be your first

8 substantial experience inside a prison. Maybe you will

9 avoid further criminal activities. I sincerely hope so.

10 Because if you are out on parole and you violate parole, why

11 I don't think the courts would be inclined to be lenient

12 with you.

13 Anything further?

14 MR. ZEGAS: One thing, your Honor. As part of the

15 plea agreement, the Government was willing to recommend that

16 Parole not consider the instant offense in determining

17 parole.

18 THE COURT: Yes. I think that is in line with my

19 ruling 9 that it should be fully concurrent because it was

20 prior to the offense that he is serving time for now. So I

21 will recommend that.

22 MR. ZEGAS: I appreciate that? your Honor.

23 THE COURT: And the probation officer will draft the

24 appropriate recommendation.

25 Anything further?

Attorney for Defendant,
Steven Kaufman

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,


Plaintiff,
CRIMINAL NO. :
v. 83-199-03

STEVEN KAUFMAN, CERTIFICATION OF


ALAN L. ZEGAS
Defendant.

1. I am an attorney-at-law of New Jersey and represent


defendant, Steven Kaufman.
2. on July 13, 1988, a judgment was entered by this
Court, sentencing defendant to a term of five years'
imprisonment and imposing a special parole term of ten
years.

3. Defendant was given credit under the judgment for


time served from October 27, 1987, which was the date on
which defendant was brought to New Jersey for trial. At the
time defendant was brought to New Jersey he was serving a
sentence resulting from a conviction in the United States
District Court in the Western District of Texas.
4. The indictment giving rise to defendant's sentence
in this District was returned in 1983. Because defendant
was not present for trial on the indictment, a detainer was

issued for his arrest.


5. On or about July 6, 1986, defendant was arrested by
United states authorities on the federal charges brought in
Texas. At the time of his arrest, United States agents
found in defendant's possession a document relating to the
1983 indictment against defendant in this district.
6. on or about July 10, 1986, a preliminary hearing was
held before United States Magistrate Philip E. Sanders of
the United states District Court for the Western District of
Texas.
7. Because the detainer issued in this District imposed
a restraint on defendant's liberty immediately upon his
arrest in Texas, irrespective of the disposition of the
federal charges brought in Texas, defendant should have been
given credit at the time of sentencing before this court for
time served beginning on July 6, 1986. At the time of
defendant's sentencing, however, it was unclear when
defendant had first come into federal custody.

8. Moreover, because defendant received a more severe


sentence in this case than many of his co-defendants who
were of equal or greater culpability, the sentence of
defendant should be reduced.
9. I certify that the foregoing statements made by me
are true. I am aware that if any of these statements are
willfully false, I may be subject to punishment.
Dated: November 3, 1988
CERTIFICATION OF SERVICE
I certify that on November 3, 1988, I arranged for my

office to place in the mails, on November 3, a copy of the

notice of motion of defendant Kaufman to reduce sentence,


the certification of Alan L. Zegas, the proposed order and
this certification of service to:

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR
THE DISTRICT OF NEW JERSEY

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff,
v. EX PARTE CERTIFICATION
OF ALAN L. ZEGAS, MADE
STEVEN KAUFMAN, UNDER SEAL, PURSUANT TO
THE PROVISIONS OF THE
Defendant. CRIMINAL JUSTICE ACT.

1. I am an attorney at law of New Jersey and have been


appointed to represent Steven Kaufman pursuant to the
provisions of the Criminal Justice Act, 18 u.s.c. Sec.
3006A, et seq.
2. As a result of information recently supplied to me
by the government, it is necessary for me to employ an
investigator to in order to prepare effectively for this
case. In particular, various leads need to be checked into
which relate to the witnesses against Mr. Kaufman and which
also relate to witnesses who may be called by Mr. Kaufman at
trial.
3. I have met with met with Steven Novosedlik, a
professional investigator who has been appointed on numerous
occasions under the Criminal Justice Act to investigate
matters relating to other cases in this District.
4. Mr. Novosedlik estimates that, because of the
substantial number of leads that need to be checked into,
and because many of the peop~_e who were employed in
government office at the time of the indictment have since
retired, it will take an appreciable amount of time to
contact the persons who need to be contacted. In light of
the amount of work that needs to be done, Mr. Novosedlik
estimates that his fee will be in the area of $5,000.
5. I would request that the Court sign the annexed
voucher appointing Mr. Novosedlik and grant him permission
to submit to the Court interim billings.
6. I certify that the foregoing statements made by me
are true. I am aware that if any of these statements are
willfully false, I may be subject to punishment.

2 Counsel, state your appearances.

3 i".1.R. GREENAWAY: Joe G.reenaway, Assistant United

4 States Attorney, appearing for the Government.

5 MR. ZEGAS: Alan Zegas, your Honor, for Stephen

6 Kaufman.

7 THE COURT: I understand that the defendant wishes

8 to retract his prior plea of not guilty to Count 6 and enter

9 a plea of guilty. Is that correct?

10 MR. ZEGAS: That's correct, Judge.

11 MR. GREENAWAY: Your Honor, I think based on the

12 revelations this morning, the United States is going to

r=7 13 withdraw its plea offer and go to trial with Mr. Kaufman.
LJ
14 May we talk at sidebar?

15 THE COURT: Yes.

16 (Off the record discussion at sidebar.)

17 THE COURT: Are counsel ready to proceed?

18 MR. GREENAWAY: The United States is, you1· Honor.

19 THE COURT: Hr. Greenaway, I think that your concern

20 had to do with whether or not the defendant. could establish

21 a factual basis for the plea. Mr. Zegas has indicated, I

22 believe, that in his opinion as counsel, he can. Is that

23 correct, Mr. Zegas?

MR. ZEGAS: That's correct. Judge.


7···=7
~
THE COURT: As such, do the par~ies wish to proceed
1 with this hearing at this time?

2 HR. ZEGAS: I am prepared, Judge, to proceed.

MR. GREENAWAY: I am prepared to hear what the

4 factual basis is, your Honor.

5 THE COURT: Well, if he cannot establish a factual

6 basis for the plea, then obviously I cannot accept it. But

7 I think I have to determine that after I hear the factual

8 basis.

9 11.R. GREENAWAY: I agree, your Honor.

10 THE COURT: Very well. Do we have an application

11 form filled out?

12 MR. ZEGAS: Yes, your Honor.

13 THE COURT: May I see it? And any plea agreement

letter that may exist.

Hi lvffi. ZEGAS: Your Hon.or, before handing these up, I

16 would note that Mr. Kaufman j _,..,


i:,
prepared to plead guilty to

17 Count 6 of the indictment, and in so doing, he is willing to

18 admit that he aided and abetted various others to import

19 into this coun~ry quantities of Thai sticks.

20 THE COURT: Yes.

21 f'iR. ZEGAS: I want to be certain that Mr. Greenaway

22 agrees that that is the charge to which he will be pleading

to, because

24 THE COURT: Either aiding and abetting or conspiracy

25 under Pinkerton vs. United States would provide a factual


1
J. basis for the crime that he seeks to plead guilty to, i.e.
[l ,..,
,::, distribution and possession of controlled substances.

3 MR. ZEGAS: Our agreement, though, was t.o plead. to a

4 substantive count of possession

5 THE COURT: I understand that. This is not a plea

6 to conspiracy, but I am saying one of the ways one

7 substantively violates the statute is to enter into a

8 conspiracy in which one of the conspirators commits a

9 substantive act.

10 MR. ZEGAS: That's right.

11 THE COURT: All are therefore guilty. In addition,

12 if one aids and abets another, one may be guilty.


Fl 13 MR. ZEGAS: That is exactly my understanding, Judge,
LJ
and l want to be certain t.hat that was the Government's

before we proceeded.

16 THE COURT: Yes, of course.

1.7 MR. ZEGAS: I will hand up to the Court clerk, your


18 Honor, a copy of the original plea agreement dated May 19,

19 1988, and a copy of the Rule 11 form.

20 THE COURT: Very well.

21 Mr. Kaufman, come forward. Take the witness stand,

22 please.

Marshal, please remove the handcuffs.

24 S T E P HE N WA R R E N KAUFMAN, sworn.
C 25 EXAMINATION BY THE'. COOR.T:
1 Q. Mr. Kaufman, your attorney has handed me an application

2 for permission to enter a plea of guilty. Have you filled

3 out this form together with your attorney?

4 A. Yes, I have.

5 Q. Is it true, and are you prepared to certify that the

6 information is true and if any of the foregoing statements

7 made by you in that application are willfully false, you are

8 subject to punishment?

9 A. Yes, 1 am.

10 Q. Very well. If so, please sign it here in open court,

11 and, Mr. Zegas, you sign the portion for the attorney to

12 sign.

13 (Pause.)

14 Now, Mr. Kaufman, it is my understanding that you wish

15 to plead guilty to Count 6 of this indictment. Is that

16 correct?

17 A. That's co.rrect.

18 Q. You understand that before I can permit you to do so, I

19 must make certain findings?

20 A. Yes. I do.

21 Q. I must find that you are competent to enter the plea,

22 the plea is free and voluntary, that you understand the

charges and penalties and that there is a factual basis for

24 the plea. Do you understand that?

25 A. I am a.ware oJ: that.


6

1 Q. Now, did anybody tell you to lie to me today?

2 A. No, sir.

Q. Okay. So what you have written on this application is

4 true. Is that correct?

5 A. Yes, it is.

6 Q. And I can rely on it?

7 A. Yes, you can.

8 Q. You tell me here that you went through four years of

9 college, that you have taken no drugs or medication or

10 alcoholic beverages within the past 24 hours.• have never

11 been a patient in a mental hospital, don't believe that you

12 are mentally ill or incompetent in any respect. Is that


1 •.J
0:,
true?

14 A. 'I'hat is true.

15 THE COURT: I see no reason that you are not

16 competent. Mr. Zegas, in your opinion, is this defendant

17 competent'?

18 MR. ZEGAS: Yes, he is, your Honor.

19 THE COURT: I so find.


20 Q. Now, you indicate here at length that you have discussed

this matter with your attorney, your attorney has indicated

22 to you that if you persist in your plea of not guilty. you

would be entitled ~o a speedy, public trial before a jury of

24 twelve persons who would sit right there in that jury box,
C and that you would have the right to cross examine any
?

1 witnesses the Government would call, to call witnesses on

your own behalf, to subpoena them if they would not come

3 voluntarily, to testify or not testify as you saw fit, and

if you chose not to testify, the jury would be instructed

5 they could draw no inference or suggestion of guilt from

6 that fact. Do you 1.mclerstand that'?

7 A. Yes, I do.

8 Q. Do you understand that at that trial you would be

9 presumed innocent, unless and until each and every one of

10 those jurors would find you guilty beyond a reasonable

11 doubt.?

12 A. Yes, I do.

13 Q. Do you understand if I accept your plea there will be no

14 trial? You will be a convicted felon and nothing will

remain but for me to impose sentence upon you?

16 A. Yes, I do.

17 Q. Now, except for what is contained in the plea agreement

1.8 of May 19, 1988, has anybody made any prediction or promise

as to what that sentence would be'?

20 A. No, ;::.ir.

21 Q. Well, that is good because no one knows what sentence

22 that will. be. I don't even know until I .read the

presentence report and I hear from you and your a~torney on

24 the day of sentencing. You understand that you could

25 receive up to five years in prison.


0
\,)

1 MR. GREENAWAY: Yes, your Honor.

2 THE COURT: And a fine of $25,000 or both for this

3 offense?

4 A. Yes, I do, your Honor.

5 Q. Mr. Zegas, I note that you refer in the form that you

6 and Mr. Kaufman have executed to Count 4, I believe it is

7 Count 6.

8 MR.. ZEGAS: That's right. Also, your Honor, you

9 might notice in the plea letter we have amended the letter

10 to be changed from Count 4 to Count 6 as well. Originally

11 THE COURT: Perhaps you and the defendant could so

12 modify both the Rule 11 form and the plea agreement and Mr.


13 Greenaway can initial it, since it is indeed Count 6 and not

14 Count 4 that the defendant !:ieeks to plead guilty to.

15 MR. ZEGAS: I believe both Mr. Greenaway and I have

16 already initialled the plea letter.

17 THE COURT: Perhaps Mr. Kaufman could do the same

18 and perhaps you could so modify the Rule 11 agreement.

19 MR. ZEGAS: Yes, your Honor.

20 (Pause. )

21 i"lll.. ZEGAS: Your Honor, we have amended the Rule 11

form and placed our initials next to each of the amendments.

23 THE COURT: Thank you.

24 Q. Now, there is a plea agreement which is set forth in the

letter oJ May 19 to Mr. Zegas from Mr. Greenaway. Is that


0._,

1 correct, counsel?

2 MR. GREENAWAY: Yes, sir.

3 BY 'I'HE COURT:

4. Q. Mr. Kaufman, you have read that plea agreement, have you

5 not?

6 I\
.n. Yes, I have, your Honor.

7 Q. You acknowledge the letter fully sets forth your

8 agreement with the office of the United States Attorney for

9 the District of New Jersey. You state there has been no

10 additional promises or representations made to you by any

11 officials or employees of the United States or by your

12 attorney in connection with this matter?

13 A. That's correct, your Honor.

14 Q. Okay. Has anyone promised, coerced or threatened you

15 with anything in order to make you plead guilty to this

16 offense?

17 A. No, your Hono.r· .

18 Q. Okay. Are you pleading guilty because you are in fact

19 guilty and for no other reason?

20 A. Yes, your Honor.

21 THE COURT: Now, I find that the plea is free 2nd

22 voluntary, that the defendant understands the charges and

n 'J
G._1 penalties. I must now det.ermine whether there is a factual

basis. Does either counsel have any further examination as

to the voluntary nature of the plea, or the knowledge of the


10
-1
charges and penalties o.r the de:fendant's competency?
n
- .J
J.

2 MR. ZEGAe,: No, your Honor.

3 MR. GREENAWAY: Nothing from the Government, your

4 Honor.

5 THE COURT: Very well. 1 find t.hat the requirements

6 have been met.

'7 I will now turn to the question of whether there is

8 a factual basis for the plea.

9 Q. Count 6 charges that from on or about the summer oI 1978

10 until February 1979, in the State and District of New

11 ._Ter.sey-, and elsewhere, the defendant, Stephen Kaufman, and

12 indeed others, did knowingly and willfully distribute and

13 possess with intent to distribute a quantity of Thai sticlrn,

14 Cannabis Sativa L, a schedule 1 controlled substance, in

15 violation of Title 21 USC Section 841(a)(l) and Title 18,

16 USC Section 2 which is the aiding and abetting statute.

17 In addition thereto. while the defendant is not

18 pleading guilty to a conspiracy, it is a recognized

19 principle of law that where individuals enter into a

20 conspiracy which is an illegal agreement, that they are

criminally responsible for any crimes co~nitted by the

co-conspirators during the pendency of and in furtherance of

23 that conspiracy, under the doctrine of Pinkerton vs. United

7·7
~
25 NcITT, Mr. Kaufman, tell me what it is that you did
ll

1 that you believe establishes your guilt as to Count 67

2 A. In February of 1978, I went over to Thailand, and

proceeded to help supply -- get a supply of Thai sticks. I

4 did that by helping finance the venture.

5 Q. You helped finance the venture?

6 A. Well, I made arrangements for financing for the venture

7 by friends of mine, who are named in the indictment.

e Q. And that?
;\
9 n. Ira Simmons and Steve Malone.

10 Q. Okay. Ira Simmons, al.so known as Glenn Zimmerman?

11 A. And Steve Malone.

12 Q. Did you know a Stein Lundegar?

13 A. Yes.

14 Q. "Tay Sicre?

15 A. Yes.

15 Q. Olazinka Sdnayon Fischer?

17 A. No, I don't.

18 Don't know him. Tracy Wong'?

19 A. I know, I know him.

20 Q. 01.-;ay'?

21 A. I lrnow of him.

22 So you went to Thailand and you helped finance a venture

2,3 to bring Thai sticks into the United States?

Yes, I did, your Honor.

Did the Thai sticks ac·tually come into the United


1 r,
J. t:.,

1 States?
r,
L. .J
A. No, not the ones, no. I mean some did come in.

3 Q. Some did, pursuant to this scheme?

4 A. While I was over there, yes.

5 Q. While you were over there. So some of the individuals

that you had this agreement with actually did import Thai

7 sticks into the United States?

8 A. Yes, your Honor.

9 Did you know that they imported the Thai sticks?

10 A. Yes, your Honor.

11 Q. Was it part of the agreement or scheme that they would

12 import the Thai sticks?


F.=]
LJ 13 A. Yes, your Honor.

14 Q. Okay. Now, did you know at the time that the

15 importation of Thai sticks was a crime?

16 A. Yes, your Honor.

17 Q. And did you knowingly and willfully associate yourself

18 with this venture?

19 A. Yes, your Honor.

20 Now, the conspiracy is a combination of two or more

2......·; persons by concerted action to accomplish some unlawful

!22 purpose, or t.o accomplish some law:ful purpo!:',e by- unlawful

23 means, so conspiracy is a kind of partnership in crime in

which each member becomes the agent. of every otber rnember.


nr::
('__, ,.) 'I'he gist oJ the of fenf;e is a combination or
1 agreement to disobey 01.· dis.regard the law. It sounds to me

2 that you had an illegal agreement with these individuals

except for Mr. Fisher, that you say you don't know, to

4 import Thai sticks into the United States and pursuant to

5 that agreement, Thai sticks were actually imported into the

6 United States, although you did not. physically import them.

7 Is that correct'?

8 A. That's correct, your Honor.

9 Q.. What did you do to further this agreement? You say you

10 arranged for financing?

11 A. Yes, I made phone calls from Thailand to people in the

United States asking for them to put up the money. They

13 were friends of mine.

14 Q. Did they in fact put up the money?

15 A. Yes, your Honor, they did.

16 Q. So your participation in this conspiracy was essential

17 in order for it to succeed?

18 A. Yes, your Honor.

Hl THE COURT: The requirement of overt acts to the

20 extent they are required seems also to be satisfied.

21 Q. Now, Count 6 also refers to aiding and abetting. In

22 order to aid and abet another to commit a crime, it is

23 necessary that the accused willfully associate himself in

24 some way with a criminal venture, and willfully participate

2ti in i t as he would in something he wishes to bring about.


14

1 That is to say, that he willfully seek by some act or

2 omission of his to make the criminal venture succeed. An act

3 or omission is willfully done if done voluntarily and

4 intentionally with the specific intent to do something the

5 law forbids, and with the specific purpose to fail to do

6 something the law requires to be done, that is to say with

7 bad purpose, either to disobey or disregard the law.

8 It appears to me from your testimony that you

9 indeed did aid and abet the individuals referred to in this

10 indictment, except Mr. Fisher, whom you said you didn't

11 know, that you did associate yourself with the criminal

12 venture and willfully participate in it, as you would

□· 13 something you wished to bring about. Is that correct?

14 A. That's correct, your Honor.

15 Q. Okay.

16 MR. GREENAWAY: Judge, will you inquire about

17 whether he also conspired with Gosta Ferneborg and Mr.

18 Margarite?

19 Q. Were Hr. Ferneborg and Mr. Margarite part of this

20 illegal agreement'?

21 A. Yes, your Honor.

Q. They are not named in Count 6 but they were also

23 participants in this conspiracy, Okay.

24 Anything further as to factual basis?


C MR. ZEGAf'i: Your Honor, I am satisfied he ha::3
.l 5

1 articulated a full, factual basis for the offense charged.

2 i1R. GREENAWAY: 1 would lilrn to lmow when he entered

3 into the conspiratorial agreement?

THE COURT: He said it was in February of 1978.

5 that about when the agreement. was formed'?

s A. That is when I went over to Thailand.

7 BY THE COURT:

e Q. When was the agreement reached to try to import these

9 Thai sticks into the United States, approximately? I don't

10 expect that there was a signed agreement where everyone sat

11 around a table, but when was there a meeting of the minds

12 that you would actually go to Thailand and bring in the Thai

13 sticks?

14 A. -January.

15 Q. Okay. And when did you come back from Thailand'?

16 A. A month later, March, I think.

17 Q. March. When did the Thai sticks actually come into the

18 United States?

19 A. They never got here.

20 Q. But you said some of them did?

21 A. Oh, two suitcases I think were sent while I was there.

22 Q. While you were there. Okay. Well, that certainly seems

2.3 close enough to the indictment period that refers to the

summer of 1978 until February of 1979. He tells us it is

from ,January of ·' 'ff!, until at le~1.st Mardt c,f '7f). The
16

1 indictment charges in or about. It is established that the


• 'l-.
2 indictment need not state WJ. 1:.u absolute precision the dates

3 as long as they a1.-e reasonably app.ro.ximate, and it would

4 seem to me that they would be. .Mr. Zegas, would you concur?
5 MR. ZEGAS: Yes, your Honor, I do.
6 THE COURT: Mr. Greenaway?

7 MR. GREENAWAY: Yes, si.r.


8 THE COURT: Is there anything further as to the

9 factual basis?

10 MR. GREENAWAY: I would like to know when he met

11 the individuals, Gosta Forneborg and Joseph Margarite, that

12 he has stated he conspired with?

C 13 THE COURT: Okay.

14 During this period did you meet with Margarite and

15 Forneborg as well?

16 A. Yes. When did I meet them?

17 Q. Yes'?

18 A. First. meet them'?

19 Q. Yes.

20 A. Two weeks before that -- when was that, Mr. Jacobson's

21 murder'?

22 MR. ZEGAS: He is talking about the Jacobson's

2:3

A. Approximately two weeks before that is the first time I


.
·7
[__J
25 ever met him.
17

1 THE COURT: When was that?

2 MR. ZEGAS: I believe in August, 1978. your Hono:r.

3 THE COURT: AugList, '78. So you said that they

4 part of this conspiracy, so one must assume that the

5 conspiI'acy corrtinued past March of '78, the conspiracy to

6 import Thai sticks into

7 MR. GREENAWAY: I think we have the dates

8 mixed up?

A. '77.

10 MR. GREENAWAY: The elates he is referring about are

11 January, '79 to March of '79. He says he met Forneborg in

12 July of '78, and now I would like to know when he met

13 Margarite.

14 A. Same, I met both of them the same time.

15 BY THE COUR'f :

16 Q. Did this conspiracy

17 A. I met both of those people two weeks before the

18 ,Jacobson's murder. Whatever year that was, it was two weeks

:l.9 before. That is the first time I ever met either one of

20 them.

21 Q. I take it they joined the conspiracy at a later time


• • ,:i •
than these other individuals who apparently JOlneu lD

January of '78. Is that correct?

That's correct, your Honor.

And the conspiracy continued to try to bring Thai stick::.i


18

1 into the United States after you got back from Thailand in
□. 2 March of '78. Is that correct?

3 A. No, your Honor. Well, I never saw the, any one of those

4 people again from the day I got back from Thailand, which

5 was approxima·tely March.

6 Q. Did you know that the agreement was an ongoing one?

7 A. No, your Honor, I never had contact with any one of

8 those people again. I just knew that, what I had contact

9 with over there.

10 Q. You knew you were part of a scheme that. required the

11 participation of others besides yourself?

12 A. Right. But a mishap happened over there. It got busted


13 and I came back to the United States and never saw them

again, any one of them.

15 THE COURT: It seems to me we have an adequate

16 factual basis for the conspiracy alleged in Count G.

17 Whether there is a broader conspiracy for a broader period

18 of time or not is an issue that doesn't seem to be raised by

19 this plea.

20 MR. ZEGAS: That's correct, your Honor.

21 MR. GREENAWAY: J:1ay I hctve one moment before I

22 respond to that, Judge?

THE COURT: Certainly.

24 (Pause. )
19

J_ THE COURT: Certainly.

2 (Off the record discussion at sidebar.)

4 THE COURT: It seems to me that an adequate factual

5 basis has been established. Counsel agree?

6 MR. ZEGAS: Yes, your Honor.

7 MR. GREENAWAY: Yes for the GoveI"nment, your Honor.

8 THE COURT: Very well. I therefore accept the plea

9 and I set the matter down for sentencing at 12:30, noon, ,:,n

10 June 30, 1988, and direct the defendant to report forthwith

11 to the probation department to begin preparing the

12 presentence report.

13 Anything furthei· at this time?

14 MR. GREENAWAY: Nothing from the Government, your

Re: Plea Agreement with Steven Kaufman

Dear Mr. Zegas:

This letter sets forth the full and complete plea


agreement between Steven Kaufman and the United States Attorney for
the District of New Jersey.

Based upon the understandings specified below, the United f~_,,e'/


States will accept a guilty plea from Steven Kaufman to Count ~ -:;,~...., cJ!'¥:J
of Indictment 83-199 charging a violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841 (a) (1) \~f
with a maximum sentence of 5 years imprisonment and a $25,000.00 ;,,
fine. If he complies with these understandings, the United States
will not prosecute Steven Kaufman for other potential charges
relating to the distribution and possession with the intent to
distribute cocaine and thai sticks between June 1977 and September
1979 and at the time of sentencing will move to dismiss all
remaining counts of Indictment 83-199.
It is understood that the sentence to be imposed upon
Steven Kaufman is within the sole discretion of the sentencing
Judge, and that this Office will not make any specific
recommendation regarding the proper disposition of this matter
other than contained herein. This Office cannot and does not make
any promise or representation as to what sentence Steven Kaufman
will receive. Steven Kaufman understands that the sentencing Judge
may impose the maximum sentence of imprisonment and a fine.
Furthermore, this Office will also inform the sentencing Judge and
the Probation Department of: ( 1) this agreement; ( 2) the nature
and extent of Steven Kaufman's activities with respect to this
case; and (3) all other
-2-

information, favorable or otherwise, in its possession relevant to


sentence. It is understood that the United States specifically
reserves the right to correct factual misstatements relating to
sentencing proceedings and to oppose any application by Steven
Kaufman for a reduction of sentence pursuant to Rule 35, Federal
Rules of Criminal Procedure.
It is further understood that this agreement is limited to
the United States Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey,
and cannot bind other federal, state or local prosecuting
authorities.

It is further understood that the United States and the


defendant Steven Kaufman agree that the Court should impose a
sentence to run concurrent with the fifteen year sentence the
defendant is currently serving. Also, the United States and the
defendant Steven Kaufman agree that the Court should recommend to
the appropriate authorities that the conviction resulting from the
instant offense should not be considered in assessing the
appropriate date for parole eligibility. This suggestion to the
Court is based on the following factors: a) the instant offense
charges the defendant for crimes that he committed more than nine
years ago; b) the defendant is presently serving a fifteen year
sentence for crimes committed subsequent to the instant offense;
and c) the other defendants charged in the instant indictment have
had their cases resolved.

It is further understood that this plea agreement does not


prohibit the United States, any agency thereof, or any third party
from initiating or prosecuting any civil proceedings involving
Steven Kaufman, including, but not limited to, proceedings by the
Internal Revenue Service relating to potential civil tax liability.

No additional promises, agreements and conditions have


been entered into with respect to Steven Kaufman's criminal
liability other than those set forth in this letter and none will
be entered into unless in writing and signed by all parties.

Very truly yours,

SAMUEL
United
-3-

I hereby acknowledge that this letter fully sets forth my


agreement with the Office of the United States Attorney for the
District of New Jersey. I state that there have been no additional
promises or representations made to me by any officials or
employees of the United States or by my attorney/i/connection with
this matter. ...,_,,__ f

[ y.. ] The plea agreement does exist in vri tten form. I have read

21. My awyer has explained to me, and I understand, that the
terms of the plea agreement might be unacceptable to the judge. If
the judge does not accept the terms of the agreement, I understand
that I may withdraw my GUILTY plea or go ahead and plead GUILTY
anyway. If, after the judge informs me that the plea agreement is
unacceptable, I continue in my desire to plead GUILTY, I understand
that the disposition of my case may be less favorable than that
proposed in the plea agreement.
22. I believe that my lawyer has done all that anyone could do
to counsel and assist me, AND I AM SATISFIED WITH THE ADVICE AND
HELP MY LAWYER HAS GIVEN ME.
23. I know the judge will not permit anyone to plead GUILTY
who claims to be innocent, and with that in mind and because I -am
GUILTY and make no claim of innocence, I wish to plead GUILTY. I
cespectfully request that the Court accept my plea of GUILTY and to
have the Clerk enter my plea of GUILTY as follows:
To Count(s) -a~ of this Complaint (Information).
I offer my plea of GUILTY freely and voluntarily and of my
own (Information), in this application and in the certification of
my lawyer which is attached to this application.
25. I further declare that I wish to waive the reading of the
Complaint (Information) in open court, and I request the Court to
enter my plea of GUILTY as set forth in Paragraph 23, above.
26. The following person(s), if any, assisted me in completing
this application: £\LBJ l. CE.G-F\s

I hereby certify that the foregoing information and

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,


Plaintifff,
v. Criminal No. 83-199
STEVEN KAUFMAN,
CERTIFICATION OF
Defendant. ALAN L. ZEGAS IN
OPPOSITION TO MOTION
TO QUASH SUBPOENA AND
IN SUPPORT OF MOTION FOR
A CONTINUANCE.

1. I am an attorney-at-law of New Jersey and represent


defendant, Steven Kaufman, in the above matter.
2. On March 22, 1988, a subpoena (Exhibit A, attached
hereto] , was served by defendant upon Paul Gentile, the
Bronx District Attorney, for his testimony and for those

documents arising out of State of New York v. Howard "Buddy"


Jacobson, relating to defendant, or to the government's

witnesses at this trial, Joseph Margarite or Gosta


Ferneborg.
3. On March 24, 1988, I learned during a telephone
conference with the Honorable Garrett Brown, Jr. , of the

1
United States District Court for the District of New Jersey,
and with Assistant United States Attorney, Joseph Greenaway,

that both the Court and the United States Attorney's Office
had each received from the Bronx District Attorney, a motion

to quash defendant's subpoena. I alerted the Court that I


had not been served with a copy of the District Attorney's
motion papers. The Court thereupon directed Mr. Greenaway
to have me personally served with a copy of the papers. At
approximately 4:15 p.m., on Friday, March 25, 1988, I
received a copy of the Bronx District Attorney's notice of
motion and brief from Joseph Greenaway. At approximately
5:00 p.m. on the same day, I received from Mr. Greenaway a
DEA-6 form, which contained a report of an interview
conducted by DEA agent Donn Fox with informant Gosta
Ferneborg on August 18, 1981. [Exhibit B, attached hereto].
In the interview report, Mr. Ferneborg' s knowledge of the
murder of John J. "Jack" Tupper, in 1978, is discussed.
4. The report of the interview states that on the night
before the murder of Mr. Tupper, witness Margarite and
defendant Kaufman drove to Kaufman's place in Woodstock, New
York, picked up two guns, drove back to New York city, and
gave the guns to Jacobson. The murder was purportedly
committed by Jacobson; Ferneborg states that thereafter
Margarite helped Jacobson and "two Italian workers clean up
the mess." In addition, the report of the interview with

2
Ferneborg states that Margarite and Kaufman disposed of the
guns after the murder was committed.
5. The interview report was prepared after Buddy
Jacobson was convicted of the murder of Tupper and while his
appeal was pending.
6. The murder, since its occurrence, has been the
subject of great controversy. In 1981, a book was written
which recounts the events leading up to the murder and the
subsequent trial of Mr. Jacobson. In October 1980, the New
York Post published a series of articles about the murder.
See, e.g., Exhibit c, attached hereto. The articles, which
were based upon reports prepared by investigators and
forensic specialists, accused the Drug Enforecement
Administration of altering its computer records after the
murder, to distance Tupper from a narcotics ring with which
he had been associated. Portions of copies of the altered
reports were reproduced in the newspaper. See Exhibit D,
attached hereto. The newspaper articles also accused the
District Attorney of withholding the full details of the
murder from Jacobson's attorneys. Exhibit c.
7. The August 18, 1981 DEA report directed the Newark
office of the DEA to supply the New York District Attorney's
Office with a copy of the report.
8. I have had various telephone conversations with Jack
Evseroff, who defended Mr. Jacobson at trial, and with
former United states Attorney General, Ramsey Clark, who

3
represented Mr. Jacobson on appeal. Both Mr. Evseroff and
Mr. Clark advised me that they did not ever recall having
been given a copy of the August 18, 1981 DEA report. That
report, with out more, would have been vital to the defense
of Mr. Jacobson, because it established a definite link
between Margarite and the murder. At trial, Mr. Jacobson
was precluded from attempting to implicate Margarite because
of the absence of evidence. This fact was conceded by an
Assistant United states Attorney from this District, who, in
a 1983 letter written to Judge stern, in connection with the
government's motion to suppress evidence relating to the
Buddy Jacobson case from the trial of Mr. Kaufman's co-
defendant, Tracy Wong, stated:
At the trial of Jacobson, Jacobson
attempted to argue that P.G.W. #1
[Margarite] committed the murder. He
was prohibited from making that
argument, however, because of the
absence of evidence in support thereof
Exhibit E, attached hereto.
9. I have strong reason to believe that the Bronx
District Attorney's Office has other documents or
information in its possession arising out of the Jacobson
investigation and relating to defendant Kaufman and to
witnesses Margarite and Ferneborg, which have never been
turned over to Mr. Jacobson's attorneys.
10. Defendant suggests that the reason that the Bronx
District Attorney's Office is seeking to quash this subpoena

4
is not because it is overly broad, but rather is because
information may come to light, relevant to the defense of
defendant, as well as of Mr. Jacobson, that has never before
been released.
11. Contrary to the assertions of the Bronx District
Attorney, the subpoena does not seek irrelevant information,
but instead seeks impeachment material vital to defendant's
defense. It is precisely this type of material that the
Supreme Court in United States v. Giglio, mandated that
prosecutors to turn over to defendants.
12. As defendant noted in his previous brief, Judge
stern, in 1983, at the trial of defendant's co-defendant,
Tracy Wong, denied the motion of the government to bar the
defense from introducing information relating to the
Jacobson case. Accordingly, this issue having been already
decided by a coordinate Judge of this Court, is the law of
the case and bars the government from raising this issue
anew. Indeed, in 1983, the Assistant United States Attorney
trying Wong, in his opening to the jury, stated:
Now, I tell you right now that
Gosta Ferneborg, Joseph Margarite, some
of the other cooperating witnesses, they
are not choir boys, they are not
priests, they are not pillars of the
community. They are career criminals.
Exactly what you'd expect these drug
dealers to be. Margarite and Ferneborg
even once helped a man named Buddy
Jacobson get guns and get rid of guns,
which Jacobson used in a murder for
which he, Jacobson, was convicted. And
Margarite even discussed killing

5
Ferneborg after the two of them had
split up.
Exhibit F, attached hereto.
13. If information pertaining to the Jacobson murder
was relevant to Wong's trial, it is a fortiori relevant to
Mr. Kaufman's. Mr. Wong had no connection to Margarite's or
to Ferneborg's involvement in the Jacobson case. By
contrast, the government here specifically contends that,
at the time of the murder, defendant Kaufman not only had a
relationship with both Margarite and Ferneborg but had also
supplied Margarite with the weapons purportedly used by
Jacobson. The brief of the government states: "Kaufman
gave Jacobson two of his guns in front of Joseph Margarite.
Within a couple of days Jacobson used the guns to commit the
murder of Jack Tupper. After Jacobson committed the murders
[sic], he returned the guns to Kaufman, who along with
Margarite and Ferneborg disposed of the guns."
14. The information contained in the brief of the
government is inconsistent with the DEA-6 report given to
defendant Kaufman. There is no mention in that report of
Kaufman handing guns over to Margarite in front of Jacobson,
nor is there mention that Jacobson returned the guns to
Kaufman. In light of this critical inconsistency, the
government must have information available to it, that has
not been supplied to defendant. Defendant demands that all
such information be supplied forthwith.

6
15. Aside from the information sought by the subpooena
served on the Bronx District Attorney and the Brady and
Giglio requests served on the government being relevant for
impeachment purposes, the information is also relevant for
other reasons which the defendant does not wish to disclose
to the prosecutors until he begins his defense at trial. In
order to satisfy this Court, however, that there are other
reasons why the requested materials are vital to defendant's
defense, defendant would be willing to make an ex parte, in
camera, sealed submission to this Court.
16. Insofar as the Bronx District Attorney seeks to
quash the subpoena served upon it because Margarite was not
called as a witness at Jacobson's trial, that argument is
absurd. Joseph Margarite was missing since the day of the
murder. In fact, in December 1978, four months after the
murder, the Police Department of the City of New York
circulated a "Wanted" poster to aid in Margarite•s capture.
See Exhibit G, attached hereto.

17. In addition to the absurdity of its argument about


Margarite not being called as a witness at trial, there is
no factual basis whatever for the Bronx District Attorney's
claim that the subpoena is overbroad. The subpoena does not
seek all materials relating to the Buddy Jacobson
investigation. All that is sought are materials relevant to
defendant's defense: that is, materials relating to
defendant and to witnesses Ferneborg and Margarite.

7
Defendant, in good faith, believes that such materials

exist, particularly in light of the statement contained in


the DEA-6 report: that a copy of the report was being

turned over to the New York prosecutors.


18. on March 23, 1988, the day after I served the
subpoena on the Bronx District Attorney, I spoke with

Assistant District Attorney, Efrain Alvarado. Mr. Alvarado


stated that there was no basis for defendant serving Paul
Gentile, the Bronx District Attorney, with a subpoena to
testify, because he had no information about the Jacobson

case or about Mr. Kaufman's. I explained to Mr. Alvarado


that Mr. Gentile was subpoenaed because he has ultimate
responsiblity for his office, but that defendant would
accept as a substitute for Mr. Gentile, a person from his
office who had knowledge of the matters contained in the
subpoena. I specifically told Mr. Alvarado that I had

learned that one of the District Attorneys who defendant


wanted to subpoena as a witness at trial, Peter J. Grishman,

was no longer employed by the Bronx District Attorney; I

explained that I wanted to learn where I could find him.


Mr. Alvarado stated that he would "reach out" for Mr.
Grishman, and would have him call my office, if he were
willing to talk. It was on that same day that the Bronx

District Attorney prepared its motion to quash defendant's


subpoena. As I noted previously, I did not receive the
motions papers directly from the District Attorney until

8
Saturday, March 26, 1988, although the Court and government
received their copies earlier.
19. Although trial was most recently scheduled to begin
on February 29, 1988, and although, under this Court's
discovery order, all Brady material was to be turned over to
defendant within ten days of the time of arraignment, which
was in December 1987, it is my belief that I still have not
received all exculpatory or impeachment material.
Submissions of such materials were made to me on February
22, 1988, February 29, 1988, March 7, 1988, March 11, 1988,
and March 25, 1988. As of this date, I still do not have
the Denmark indictment against Mr. Ferneborg, the transcript
of Mr. Ferneborg's guilty plea in this District, the
polygraph questions posed to witness Margarite by the
government which led to his rejection from the Federal
Witness Protection Program, or the reports relating to
Margarite which are referenced as Exhibit H to defendant's
brief on the Brady issue which was earlier submitted to this
Court. In addition to the foregoing materials, I believe
that other exculpatory or impeachment materials exist, which
I have not been given.
20. As a result of having only recently received
materials that are highly relevant to defendant's defense,
and as a result of the pending motion of the Bronx District
Attorney to quash defendant's subpoena, defendant needs
additional time to prepare his case and, if necessary, to

9
respond in more detail to the motion to quash. More time is
also needed because certain witnesses have not yet been
located who have information relevant to defendant's
defense. Finally, by granting defendant's motion for a
continuance, the Bronx District Attorney's Office will have
the additional time it claims it needs to compile the
documents encompassed by defendant's subpoena.
21. If this Court will recall, the indictment in this
matter was returned in 1983 and relates to offenses alleged
to have occurred ten years ago. Because the events relevant
to the trial occurred so long ago, the task of preparing
effectively for trial is especially difficult. The
resistance of the Bronx District Attorney to the subpoena of
defendant and the government's delay in turning over
exculpatory or impeachment material serves only to make
effective preparation for trial more burdensome.
22. Defendant has a constitutional right to compulsory
process. Washington v. Texas, 388 U.S. 14, 16 (1967). If
this Court does not enforce the subpoena served upon the
Bronx District Attorney, defendant will be deprived of
gaining access to information and to testimony that is not
only vital to his defense, but that he has no alternate way
of acquiring. The information requested relates to specific
individuals who are critical to this trial. Accordingly, if
the Bronx District Attorney's motion to quash the subpoena
is granted and if defendant's motion for a continuance is

10
denied, defendant would request that the indictment be
dismissed; the age of the indictment and the unavailability
of information which is vital to defendant's defense makes
preparation within the time allotted impossible.

23. For all the foregoing reasons, defendant


respectfully submits that the motion of the Bronx District
Attorney to quash the motion of defendant must be denied,
and defendant's motion for a continuance in order to
effectively prepare for trial must be granted.
24. I certify that the foregoing statements made by me
are true. I am aware that if any of these statements are
willfully false, I may be subject to punishment.

Honorable Herbert J. Stern


Judge, United States District Court
U.S. Post Office & Courthouse
Newark, New Jersey 07101
Re: United States v. Tracy Wong, et al.
Criminal No. 83-199
----------------~-~
Dear Judge Stern:
In connection the the Government's pending motion to
exclude evidence of the tangential involvement of two potential
Government witnesses (P.G.w.il and P.G.W.#2) in the Buddy
Jacobson homicide case, please be advised of the following: On
the morning of Tupper's murder, P.G.W.il was sleeping. in:t.he
bedroom on the top floor of his two floor (loft) apartment.
The outside door to P.G.W.il's apartment had a combination
lock. Jacobson, the landlord of the building, knew the
combination to the lock to P.G.W.il's apartment. Jacobson
opened the door to the apartment and told PgG.W.il to stay
upstairs and not to come downstairs under any circumstances.
P.G.W.#1 then heard some voices and noises0 Moments
afterwards, P.G.W.il heard several shots, some yelling, and
Tupper screaming that he had been shot. PoGoW.#1 ran
downstairs. Just outside the doorway to his apartment,
PcGoWoil saw blood splattered "everywhere"o He• saw no body.
Jacob~on, Jacobson's son, and unknown assis~ants washed away
the blood, and repl,?,c@d pgJC~i.on~ of /';il. bloody rug and tiles
h~ving gunshot holes in t:hemo )? oG.,\l'J il r.~nd.er~o; SOITT,~
c>

Q@Sistance in such cleaning @ffortso


P.G.W.il, P.G.W.#2, and a third person later disposed
of one of the guns used in the murder. P-GoWgil recognized the
gun as having been one he helped Jacobson obtain shortly before.
(

- 2 -

P.G.W.il and P.G.W.i2 never returned to their


apartments. They were afraid that law enforcement authorities
investigating the murder would discover, as they did, that both
were large-scale narcotics traffickers.

Law enforcement authorities found bullets and shells


in P.G.W.#l's apartment. Ballistics experts have concluded
that the murder occurred inside P.G.W.#l's apartment and that
Tupper's body was taken outside immediately afterwards.

At the trial of Jacobson, Jacobson attempted to argue


that P.G.W.#1 committed the murder. He was prohibited from
making that argument, however, because of th.~ absence of
evidence in support thereof.

The Government submits that the ci?cumstances


surrounding Tupper's murder, aside from P.G~~.tl and P.G.W.#2
having provided and disposed of the guns, have no relevance to
the instant case. Although the murder occurred in P.G.W.il's
apartment, that fact alone has no bearing o~ the credibility of
P.G.W.il. Since there can be no good faith basis for
contending that.P.G.W.il and P.G.W.i2 had any 'involvement apart
from providing and disposing of the guns, all other evidences
should be excluded pursuant to Fed.R.Evid. 401 and 403.

Respectfully submitted,

MOTION TO QUASH SUBPOENA

STEVEN KAUFMAN CASE NO. 83-199

--------------------x
STATE OF NEW. YORK )
)ss.:
COUNTY OF BRONX )

PETER D. CODDINGTON, being duly sworn deposes and says.

1. I am an Assistant District Attorney and Chief of the Appeals

Bureau in the Office of PAUL T. GENTILE, District Attorney of Bronx

County, Bronx, New York.

2. I am an attorney duly admitted to practice before the Supreme

Court of the United States, the United States Court of Appeals for the
Second Circuit, the United States District Court for the Southern, Eastern

and Northern Districts of New York, and the Courts of the State of New

York. I am a member of the bar in good standing in each of those Courts.

3. I am not admitted to practice before the United States District

Court for the District of New Jersey, and I respectfully request that this

Court admit me pro haec vice for the purpose of moving to quash a subpoena

dated March 22, 1988, and served upon my Office on behalf of Alan L. Zegas,

Esq., attorney of Steven Kaufman.

4. The subpoena at issue commands the District Attorney of Bronx

County to personally appear and testify in the above-captioned case and to

bring with him:

All papers, internal memoranda, police reports, DEA


reports, FBI reports, investigative reports, statements,
recordings, and all other documents, of any kind
whatever, that relate, directly or indirectly, to Joseph
Margarite, Gosta Ferneborg and Steven Kaufman,
(

including but not limited to documents prepared or


obtained during the investigation of these individuals
in connection with State of New York v. Howard
("Buddy") Jacobson.
(See Exhibit I - a copy of the subpoena).

5. That manifestly the subpoena on its face fails to comply with the

requirements of Rule 17 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure in that it

is premature, overbroad, and is being used as a discovery device.

6. That the case of The Peoele·of·t9e·state of New York v. Howard

Buddy Jacobson concerned a murder committed in Manhattan on August 6,

1978, in which the body was disposed of in The Bronx. The defendant was

sentenced on June 3, 1980; his motion to vacate judgment was denied on ~vlay

28, 1981 People v. Jacobson, 109 Misc.2d 204, 440 N.Y.S.2d 458 (Sup. Ct. Bx.
-
Co. 1981); his conviction was affirmed on direct appeal on July 1, 1982,
People v. Jacobson, 81 A.D.2d 826, 452 N.Y.S.2d 473 (1st Dept. 1982}; leave

to appeal to the new York State Court of Appeals was denied on September

22, 1982, People v. Jacobson, 57 N.)'.'.2d 781,454 N.Y.S.2d 1057, 440 N.E.2d

1348 (1982) (Meyer, J.); his petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28

USC§ 2254 was denied on July 25, 1984, Jacobson v. Henderson, 591 F. Supp.

503 (S.D.N.Y. 1984) (Canella, J.}; and the United States Court of Appeals for

the Second Circuit affirmed that order on June 13, 1985, Jacobson v.

Henderson, 765 F.2d 12 (2d Cir. 1985).

7. That counsel for Steven Kaufman has made no showing how a

nine-and-one-half year old homicide committed in another state can have ariy

relevance whatsoever to the case before this Court; he has made no showing

that the present District Attorney (who did not hold that office when the

Jacobson case was tried), and who has no intimate knowledge of the case or

the file, can testify to anything which would comprise relevant evidence in

- 2-
the case before this Court; he has not demonstrated how the voluminous,

vaguely described quantity of documents he seeks (if not confidential or


privileged under New York State Law), can possibly have any relevance to the

case before this Court; or why he feels justified in attempting to force

employees of a busy District Attorney's Office to comb through literally

boxes and boxes of documents "of any kind whatever" and some 10,000 pages

of transcript (some of which is stored in archiyes removed. from our office.) on

seven days notice in the apparent hope that something "indirectly" related to

the case before this Court might turn up.

WHEREFORE, upon the basis of the foregoing facts and for the reasons

stated in the annexed brief, your deponent respectfully prays that this Court

quash the instant subpoena in all respects.

STATUTES

Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 17 1

New York Penal Law§ 215.70 (McKinney 1975) 3


Rule 17 c of Criminal Procedure provides that the court may quash a

subpoena if compliance would be unreasonable or oppressive. On its face this

subpoena is manifestly both unreasonable and oppressive and should be

quashed forthwith.

Since a Rule 17 subpoena is not and was never intended to be a

discovery device ( ~ United States v. Nixon, 418 U.S. 683, 698-700, 41


L.Ed.2d 1039, 1059, 94 S~ Ct. 3090, 3103 [1974])~ counsel's attempt, on one

week's notice, to use it to force a busy state prosecutor's office to comb its

voluminous files relating to a nine-year-old case (which comprise boxes and

boxes of documents, transcripts, and physical exhibits) in search for materials

"of any kind whatever" that relate "indirectly" to a Federal prosecution of

which we have no present knowledge other than that it involves narcotics is


clearly unreasonable. See United States v. Cuthbertson, 630 F .2d 139, 146

(3d Cir. 1980), cert. den., 449 U.S. 1126, 67 L.Ed.2d 113, 100 S. Ct. 673

(1981).

Second, the subpoena here is plainly overbroad and should be quashed on

that basis as well. In United States v. Wencke, 604 F.2d 607 (9th Cir. 1979),

the court ruled that subpoena which sought "all files, records,

correspondence, writings, interoffice communications, interagency

communications, and reports relating to the investigation of Walter C.

Wencke ••. " was properly quashed as overbroad. United States v. Wencke,

supra, at p. 612. The instant subpoena is even broaner than the one

considered in Wencke which at least did not seek "all other documents, of any

kind whatever, that relate, directly or indirectly . . ." to named individuals.

A fortiori, this subpoena should be quashed as overbroad.

Third, counsel for Kaufman has made no showing that he seeks relevant

evidentiary material. If he believes that an as-yet-unidentified document is


impeachment material, then his subpoena is premature and should be quashed.

United States v. Fields, 663 F.2d 880 (9th Cir. 1981).

Fourth, the public policy and the law of the State of New York holds
that matters before a Grand Jury are secret (See e.g. Matter of The People

of the State of New York v. Judge, 88 A.D.2d 789, 451 N.Y.S.2d 537,

N. Y.S.2d (4th Dept. 1982), and cases cited therein. Thus, to the extent that

this overbroad and ill-defined subpoena seeks matter that was presented to

the Grand Jury which investigated the Jacobson case, public policy would

preclude the District Attorney's compliance absent a court order. See New

York Penal Law § 215.70 (McKinney 1975). Although our Office has no

knowledge that the matter counsel seeks was in fact presented to a Grand

Jury, a subpoena which seeks all documents of any kind whatever that are

indirectly related to individuals who may have been questioned in connection


with the Jacobson case is so broad that the possibility that some of this

material may have been before the Grand Jury may not be ignored at this

juncture.

Finally, this Court should know the practical difficulties presented by

counsel's subpoena. The matters he seeks are part of an investigation that

took place almost ten years ago. Mario Merola, the District Attorney who

conducted the investigation, is dead. The Assistant District Attorneys who

questioned the witnesses during the investigation have left our Office. The

assistant who tried the Jacobson case did not call Joseph Margarite, Gosta

Ferneborg or Steven Kaufman as witnesses, and on March 29, 1988, expects

to be engaged in the trial of another homicide in Bronx County Supreme

Court. Mr. Gentile, the present District Attorney, who is subpoenaed to

come and testify, was the Chief Assistant at the time of the Jacobson

investigation but was not intimately involved in it, did not speal< to any of the

-3-
named individuals, and has no intimate knowledge of the voluminous file

(some of which, by the way, is no longer stored at our Office). Thus, the
purported attempt to force him to. come to Trenton to give testimony

amounts to the type of harassment of a public official which this Court

should not sanction, absent a detailed showing by counsel of what he expects

Mr. Gentile's testimony to be. ~ May v. United States, 175 F.2d 994, 1010

84 U.S. A'pp. D.C. 233 (D.C. Cir. 1949), cert. den., 338 U.S. 830, 94 L.Ed.2d
505, 70 S.Ct. 58 (t949). ,.-..

Thus, for all these reasons, counsel's subpoena should be quashed in its

entirety.

ORDER F.OR DISCOVERY AND
INSPECTION
.
Defendant(s)

In order to eliminate unnecessary motions for discovery in th.is

case, to eliminate delays in the presentation of evidence and the

exai~ination of witnesses, and to expedite the trial pursuant to the

provisions of the Speedy Trial Act of 1974,

IT IS ORDERED:

1. ·conference. Within ten (10) days from the date hereof, the

United States Attorne~ or one of his assistants and the defendant's

attorney shall meet and confer, and the government shall:

(a) Permit defendant's attorney to inspect and copy or

photograph any relevant written or recorded statements or

confessions made by the defendant, or copies thereof, within the

possession, custody or control of the government, the existence of

which is known, or may become known, to the attornev for the

government;

(b) Permit defendant's attorney to inspect and copy or

photograph any relevant results or reports of physical or mental

examinations, and of scientific tests or experiments made in

connection with the case, or copies thereof, within the possession,

known, or may become known to the attorney for the government;

(c) Permit defendant's attorney to inspect and copy or

nhotograph any re9orded testimony of the defendant before a grand


( (

photograph the defendant's prior criminal record in the oossession

of the attorney for t~e government;

(f) Permit defendant's attorney to inspect, copy or photogranh

any exculpatory evidence withih the·purv..iew o"f: Brady v.;: Maryland.

(g) If there is more than one defendant named in the indictment,

and it the government intends to introduce into evidence in its

case in chief a confession made to law enforcement authorities bv

one defendant which names or makes mention of a co-defendant, then

the government must make a copy of that statement or confession

available to counsel for the non-declarant defendant, along with a

oroposal for its redaction to conform with the reguirements of

Bruton v. United States. If the government makes no such disclosure

and turnover within the time period allowed, the confess_ion may not

be received at a joint trial of the declarant and non-declarant

defendants. If, within ten (10) days after receipt of the

confession and its redacted version, counsel for the non-declarant

defendant makes no objection to the redacted statement, he will be

deemed to have acceded to the receipt of the redacted statement

into eviden.ce.

2. Disclosure Declined. If, in the judgment of the United States

Attorney, it would be detrimental to the· interests of justice to make

any disclosures set forth in paragraph 1, disclosure may be declined,

1d defense counsel advised in writing of the declination within five (5)

·s · of the_ Conference.•

2.
I I
If the defendant see~s to challenge the declination he may move

the court for relief in the following manner:

General Rules of this court.

(c) The motion shall set forth (1) the statement that the

prescribed conference was held; (2) the date of the conference; (3)

the name of the Assistant United States Attorney with whom the

conference was held; (4) the matters which were agreed upon; and

(5) ·the matters which are in dispute and which reauire the

determination of khe court.

3. Continuing Duty. Any duty of disclosure and discoverv set

forth herein is a continuing one and the United States Attorney shall

produce any additional information gained by the government.

4. Exhibits. The government shall pre-mark all exhibits which

it intends to introduce as part of its direct case and shall permit

defendant's attorney to inspect and copy these exhibits 30 qays Prior

to the commencement of trial. A set of such pre-marked exhibits with

an exhibit list should be turned over to the deputy clerk before or at

the outset of trial. The defendant's exhibits shall also be pre-marked

but not be disclosed until actually used at trial. The government shall

also pre-mark all Jencks Act materials so that no trial delay is

encountered while they are marked at the·time of turning over to

defendant's counsel.

3.

certification that the challenge to authenticity is being made.in good
faith.
6. Chain ~f Possession. When defense counsel has examined an
exhibit oursuant to the provisions of paragraph 4 of this Order, the

bv the defendant unless defense counsel files with the court 14 days prior
to the date of trial, a notice that the chain of possession of the exhibit
will be contested by the defendant at trial together with a statement
delineating that the authenticity of the exhibit is being challenged and

Your deponent, being first duly sworn upon oath,

deposes and says:

1. I am the Assistant United States Attorney assigned

4. To the best of my knowledge, no prospective

Government witness has been offered or given any consideration

or promise of consideration for his or her testimony, and I

have no reason to believe that any such person expects or hopes

for any such consideration. However, as defense counsel knows,

any non-Government employee who testifies for either party is


entitled to standard witness fees, and all such prospective

Government witnesses will be given such fees upon request.

5. I have no knowledge of any threats against any


prospective Government witness.

6. To the best of my knowledge, no prospective

Government witness reasonably can be considered to be "an

informer," "an accomplice," or "a co-conspirator."

7. I have no personnel files of any prospective

Government witness.

8. To the best of my knowledge, I have no records

and/or information which could arguably be helpful or useful to

the defense in impeaching or otherwise detracting from the

probative force of the Government's evidence or which could

arguably lead to such records or information, except for the


Jencks materials, which I intend to turn over at the time and

under the circumstances spelled out in the Government's Brief

in Response and Opposition to Defendant's Motion for Pretrial

Disclosure of Jencks (18 u.s.c. Section 3500) material,

subject, of course, to the Court's ruling on that motion.

The responses of Bassam are translatjons from an jnterpreter.

Thompson: Bassam I sjmply want to ask you whether you understand that
I photographed both sides of your identity card and with your
permjssjon, photographed you, about an hour ago. Is that
correct, do you understand all that.

Bassam: Yes, he understood.

Thompson: May I ask you first jf it were jmportant for you to come to the
United States to testHy in tMs matter, would you be able to
come at the moment?

Bassam: He sajd he would Hke to, he would love to, but he is unable at
all to come.

Thompson: Why js he unable to come?

Bassam: He feels that as many reasons make hjm unable to come and
espedally he js stHl under the age of the service whkh is 50
years. He js unable to come.

Thompson: I see. In that case, I would like to ask you to raj se you right
hand and take an oath, jf you were wBHng to.

Bassam: Yes,

Thompson: In the testimony you are about to gjve, wm you be telHng the
truth, the whole truth, and only the truth?

Bassam: He sajd he wm.

Thompson: Thank you. Would you please state your name, your
address, and your jdentity card number?

What djd he say?

Bassam: He sajd his name js Bassam Al Khtjb, he gave you the Ld.
numbers 279596, he Hves in Qadam, J alla Street, jn Damascus.

Thompson: Bassam, what was your job, or profession in 1980?

EXHIBIT A (Witness # 1)
Bassam: He does alot of contractor's work, jncludjng electrkal work and
buildjngs, and also whatever he can get to jnvest money and try
to make profit, he would do that.

Thompson: I see. Where were you Hvjng jn 1980?

Bassam: He Hves jn the same address he stated before.

Thompson: And that's here jn Damascus.

Bassam: How djd you first become aware of INCOSER?

Thompson: He sajd that he usually, he heard of the IN CO SER in 1979


or'80. He's not sure exactly. He usually goes to Lebanon many
tjmes sjnce 1973 to go back and forth jn busjness jn other thjngs
and last Hme he went there he met a person. That person knew
about hjm, he told there's a person he should meet. His name is
Al Ahmed, you may be interested to do business with. So he
introduced him to. He met him on one of the trips in Lebanon.

Thompson: Let me ask. So you first learned about the existence of


INCOSER and of the scheme through Al Amhed?

Bassam: Yeah, he sajd yes. He met Ahmet.

Thompson: And, where did you first meet Al Ahmet?

Bassam: He met him on, through the other person in Lebanon. He said
he met him through that person whkh he met in one of those
places in Al Hamera Street in Befrut and they went out to dinner
and they talked over dinner about business and investment and
other thjngs.

Thompson: Does he remember the approximate date or time of this meeting?

Bassam: He doesn't remember. He says when he really met Al Ahmed was


around 179. But the exact, the exact date he doesn't remember.

Thompson: You mentioned before 179 or 180 would that be the best time for
Mm?

Bassam: He met Mm around 179, 1


80 but the exact date he cannot recall.

Thompson: What djd Al Ahmed suggest to you would be the deal with
INCOSER.

Bassam: He sajd that Al Ahmed suggested that he has a deal for him
and would he come buy the car at the cheaper prke because
when you import through other means in thjs country, they put
alot of taxes, too much duty on it, so he would have a deal
when he can make more by getting through Al Ahmed to thjs
country, he wm have more (unclear) He sajd that he did not
really one hundred percent trust him until he showed hjm the
catalogues and showed him the •• , so anyway he showed hjm
thjngs and proved to hjm that he would have a better deal
through Mm and also he had a lot of faith jn the other person
who told hjm it was good.

Thompson: What js tMs other person's name?

Bassam: He sajd hjs name js Mohammed Alem; he's not sure what Ms last
name, really what you usually do when you know somebody, most
of the time you don't ask last name.

Thompson: What kind of vehicle was being imported through Al Ahmed?

Bassam: He was tryjng to say, I finally got it, he says Hke campers, or
vans. OK the one has Uttle holes jn it set up for a home, you
know, a different kind of. ..

Thompson: Would these vehjcles be called vans?

Bass am: Yeah, he saj d they call them vans.

Thompson: Was he ever shown photographs, drawjngs, pictures of these


things?

Bassam: Yeah, he saw quite a few different models.

Thompson: Does he remember the names of any of the models?

Bassam: No, he doesn't remember.

Thompson: Under what drcumstances was he shown the pictures of the


vans; where, when and by whom?

Bassam: Al Ahmed showed him all these pictures

Thompson: What djd Al Ahmed ask him to do, as part of the scheme?

Bassam: He said he was Hke the responsible man. He come here and
collect a few people who were able to invest; he take money from
them, present it to Ahmed, Ahmed would give it them receipts
for all this money and Lachmet in return would give it to
INCOSER to buy the cars and the vans and bring them here and
that's the way it's going to go.

Thompson: Was he given a particular territory that would be basically his,


that is for himself and his salesmen?

Bassam: He said he gave hjm some type of permission in the statement


that he would be the dealership in this area now with this map
over here.

Thompson: What was the area?

Bassam: The area jn like Syria or Lebanon. He said that he did not
keep it later because the deal meant, you know.
Thompson: How many salesmen djd he recruH and get money from, checks
from?

got the money back because he never sajd he was not.

Thompson: Two questfon: what rud he do wHh the checks first?

Bassam: He gave the back checks to the people and sajd sorry.

Thompson: No, no that's not the questjon I'm askjng. Upon recejving the
checks, djd he gjve the checks to anybody else?

Bassam: He said he received the checks from them and he took them to
Al Ahmed, he gave jt to him and he told everything should be
fine now and are we going to be startjng the deal.

Thompson: When was that?

Bassam: He said in 1980.

Thompson: Did he subsequently receive these checks back from Al


Ahmed?

Bassam: Al Achmet felt after the war broke out and, and some other
people were asking to, yeah, he said the reason was the war he
asked him.

Thompson: I, I asked the questjon what happened to the checks, not why
the scheme feel apart?

Bassam: Oh, you mean ...

Thompson: Did Al Ahmed, Al Ahmed return the checks to him at some


point? If so, when?

Bassam: He sajd late '80 they received the checks back. He said the
whole deal was about six months and that he give H to him.

Thompson: What djd he do wHh the checks then after they were returned
to hjm?

Bassam: He said he made sure that the checks were not used, or
anytMng, and he returned H to the people who gjve H to hjm.

Thompson: Could he relate as many of the names of these njne people as


he can? I know H's five years later, he may not be able to
remember, but, jf he could relate the names of as many as he
can.

Bassam: He only remembers a few people whose, . relatives, and, but


the rest of them, really, he's not, he's not anymore jn contact
wHh them.

Thompson: He only remembers those who are relatjves?

Bassam: Yes.

Thompson: Durjng tMs sjx month perjod, when the deal was aHve, djd he
have any hot prospects for the vans?

Bassam: Yeah, he said he felt there was alot. .. Yeah he wasn't tryjng,
he sajd he Hked, he was waHjng, he says alot of people were
waHjng, anxious, but he felt that before he expand the whole
sHuatjon he was waHjng for the samples to come in, he was
waHing for, to do, to make sure everythjng was on the up and
up and one hundred percent he can get everythjng and he be
able to deHver to these people before he jf promjsed them to sell
them somethings.

Thompson: rnd H appear to Mm to be a profitable and vjable sales scheme?

Bassam: He sajd he felt that it was a profitable, he sajd he felt Uke at


least he would double Ms money wHh no problem, he felt that
these people were, and, felt the same way when he talked to
them and they felt altogether that they would really make alot of
profit so they were gojng to do H.

Thompson: Does he recall what some of the prkes of the vans were to be
deHvered here jn Syrfan, or Lebanon jn dollars?

Bass am: He saj d he £el t that the prkes were alot cheaper than today,
and he felt that the prkes through Al Ahmed were alot cheaper
than were he to, js avaHable jf he could buy them, he felt that
he, there's a margjn of profit between the two amounts.

Thompson: Does he remember the actual dollar amount? That the customer
would pay here jn Syrja?

Bassam: He sajd that the exact prke he does not know, but he sajd that
he knows, he found out he knows that he would make minimum
of one hundred per cent in prices he's going to get from Al
Ahmed.

Thompson: A hundred per cent mark-up?

Bassam: A hundred per cent mark-up?

Thompson: Do you know why, does he know why the scheme collapsed?
Why it never went jnto effect?

Bassam: He sajd he felt the instability of the, sudden change of the


world, what happened in the Middle East and felt it is unsafe,
became unsafe for the war between Iraq and Iran made it impos-
sible for anybody really to do any business and they felt that
the extending of the war is going to really ruin and they felt
it's better to have the money in your pocket and not to invest in
anything, just to make sure you're safe ...

Thompson: If I understand correctly, then, would you, would you just


repeat what I'm saying to him?

Bassam: Um hum.

Thompson: The general instability of the region made it more useful to


invest their money in the bank, to put it in the bank or in cash
or in gold rather than to buy vans.

Bassam: He said he felt that its better to keep it as a dollar in your


pocket and save it, have it instead of doing anything else with
it. They don; t even buy gold anymore because of the
fluctuating prices of gold.

Thompson: Did Al Ahmed at some point say that the scheme would be
suspended?

Bassam: He said yes he told him that, when he told him, he told him
maybe later on in time things become stable he said he get in
touch with you, get back to me maybe we can go ahead and
work out the deal but right now its not possible to do anything.

Thompson: Does he know the present whereabouts of Al Ah met now?

Bassam: He said he died.

Thompson: Did he, did he, how did he learn this?

Bassam: He said he didn't take the guy's word one hundred percent. He
went to an official place over there to find out, and they told
him he was deceased,

Thompson: By over there? In what location?

Bassam: In Lebanon.
Thompson: In Bejrut?

Bassam: Yeah, he went to Befrut.

Thompson: Was he able to determjne what year Al Ahmed was, Al


Ahmed was knied durjng the fightjng?

Bassam: Yeah.

Thompson: In what year he was kHled?

Bassam: He sajd after he got hjs money. When he went there he found
out he was just, he djdn't know the exact tjme, they told hjm
that jt wasn't really exact. I don't tMnk they knew themselves
what the exact date was.

Thompson: Was there a year, that he djed jn?

Bassam: He sajd jn 181.

Thompson: In 181 to present or '81 - 1


82. The jnvasjon was 182.

Bassam: '80 Uke, 180, ... he lost contact wHh them but he sajd jn 181, 1
82
he's not sure when exactly he djed.

Thompson: Could jt have been as late as 184?

Bassam: Yeah, jt could be jn 182. '83. He never really got a predse


date.

Thompson: I see, Uh, could he tell me how jt js that he's here, uh


speakjng wHh me today? How was he able to be found?

Bassam: He sajd H's a figure of speech my brother made up, sajd my


brother made jt for me, to talk to you, to meet wHh you.

Thompson: I see. So Majda, you, were able to find Mm because of certajn


leads provj ded to you. OK. Ah, next these are sj mple formal
questjons. Have we met or spoken to each other before today?

Bassam: No. Never.

Thompson: We djd speak, and for a bH before we turned the tape on


today. I photographed your jdentHy card and you. Durjng
that perjod, djd I offer you any jncentjve or reward to testHy jn
any partkular way jn thjs case?

Bassam: Yes, he saM he djd, He sajd he only met you earlier today and
you have and, taken pkture of hjm, and Ms Ld. card.

Thompson: rnd I, but the most jmportant questjon, djd I before we went
on the tape here, offer you any reward or incentive to testHy jn
any way in this matter?
Bassam: He sajd no, you djdn't.

Thompson: Has anyone else besjdes me ever offered you any reward or
jncentjve to testHy?

Bassam: No. No.

Thompson: Whh respect to bejng threatened, before being on the tape, djd
I threaten you jn any way? To testHy jn thjs case?

Bassam: No, he sajd no.

said Bassam has to brjng a certajn amount of money from each
area take H Al Ahmet and then they will buy cars as a living
quarters and travel in campers and tMngs and they bring it
here and they will sell H and in his turn he will make money,
profit on it.

Thompson: Did it appear to hjm to be a profitable, vfable sales scheme?

Laham: He sajd of course, this js the way they make money. Syrian
people always are jnterested in buyjng and selHng and they
always made money on that, and they've always had a need for
cars and campers.
11
Thompson: So yes 11 is the answer?

Laham: Yes.
Thompson: Does he know why the scheme collapsed and never became
effectjve.

Laham: He had a problem meetjng wHh Lachmad, the son had a problem
meetjng wHh Lachmad, and of course the war broke out, causjng
the whole thjng to collapse.

Thompson: Why? Why does the collapse follow from the war?

Laham: He sajd, he sajd, he sajd the people were afrajd of the war, and
the borders were closed and there were so many problems caus-
jng the whole commerdal system to collapse jn the area. And
that's why they really were afrajd, that they kept thejr money
jn thejr pockets, and they dedded not to do anythjng wHh H.

Thompson: Who contacted hjm to be here today, and to be jntervjewed


today?

Laham: Majda DaBas called me.

Thompson: Had we ever met or talked before the last few moments?

Laham: He saM no.

Thompson: Before we went on the tape, ru d I offer you any reward or


jncentjve to testHy jn any partkular way?

Laham: No.

Thompson: Has anyone else ever offered you any reward or jncentjve
to testHy jn any partkular way jn tMs case?

Laham: No.

Thompson: Before we went on the tape ru d I threaten you jn any way


to testHy jn any partkular way jn tMs case?

Laham: No, never.

Thompson: Has anyone else ever threatened you jn order to get you to
testHy jn any partkular way jn tMs case?

Thompson: Would you be wHHng to come to the UnHed States and testHy
jn thjs case?

Laham: He sajd because he's workjng for tMs company he js unable to


come to the UnHed States. It's very, very dHficult and he
doesn't thjnk he'd be able to get the length of tjme to leave the
country.

Thompson: Does he have a passport?

Laham: He has a passport, but he stm cannot go.


Thompson: He would be reluctant to go.

Laham: Yes.

Thompson: It remajns then only for me to thank you for your tjme jn
helpjng us today get to the bottom of the facts jn tMs case.
Thank you.

Mr. HoHbj, would jt be possjble for you , jf jt were


jmportant, desirable, would jt be possible for you to travel

Holibj: No, he can't.

Thompson: Could you tell me why?

HoUbj: He says he has personal reasons and other thjngs, that he

of hjm bejng recalled to the reserves.

Thompson: So he's jn the reserves.

Holibj: Yes.

HoHbi: 0205770.

Thompson: Sorry for these formalities. Your present profession or job

EXHIBIT C (WITNESS #3)


HoHbj: Contractor.

TinK: In 1980, what was your profession or job?

Ah, I don't want to turn off this tape once H 1s started, so


we'll neither have to turn your over. What's actually going
on now is that Maida was making another tape. Do you
want to turn H over to r..1aidz? Just fHp the tape, is that
the problem. I tMnk you'd better eject. I would not force
H, you can break H easHy. There we go. And now we've
turned the tape over, now going on the second side. Are
we recording? OK, fine. Thjs tape has been runnjng
continuously.

Mr. HoHbi, I asked what was your professfon in 1980?

HoHbi: The same tMng.

Thompson: Where were you Hving in 1980?

HoUbi: The same address he Hves in now.

Thompson: You've been at the same address and in the same profession
since 1980?

HoHbi: Yeah, the same.

Thompson: How did you first become aware of the Amerkan firm INCOSER?

HoHbi: He sajd that Bassam Al Khtjb came in and jnformed him about
the INCOSER and Al Ahmed and asked Mm about investing some
money.

Thompson: OK. What, when Bassam Al Khtib explained thjs scheme to you
where did that occur and when did that occur?

HoHbj: He said late in 179 he came to Ms house and told Mm, or the
beginning or 180.

Thompson: Late 179 or beginning of 180.


And that occurred here in Damascus?

HoHbi: Yes.

Thompson: How was the scheme explained to you. What were you to do
and what were you to get? Generally, what was the deal?

HoHbi: He knows the Bassam for awhHe. When he told him he is


gojng to bring cars and Hke caravans, sleeping cars like New
York City cars and customized vans. So a different style and
dHferent version of it and he explained about H to him, Bassam
he explained H to him. So he was, he was exdted and he, he
was able, he was jnterested to get involved.

Thompson: What did he have to do to get involved?


HoHbi: He should have, he has to pay a hundred thousand dollars to
him to, to the Bassam so he can be part of the organization.

Thompson: Did he do that? And, if so, in what form did he pay the
hundred thousand dollars?

HoUbi: He says he gave him a check and he got a receipt, he received


a, he had a receipt for the check.

Thompson: So he gave Bassam a hundred thousand dollars. Did he


receive that check back again at any point in time?

Holibi: He said he returned it after a whHe to him and he told Mm dght


now the scheme is possibly ceased for the moment or dead, we're
not sure.

Thompson: How long a period of time elapsed from the time the check was
given to Bassam untH it was returned?

HoUbi: Either six or seven months.

Thompson: What was he to get for the hundred thousand dollars jf the
scheme had gone into effect?

Holibi: He said he's getting a couple of them as samples and of course


he's going to be part of the organization.

Thompson: He would then be part of, he would receive a couple of vans or


several vans as samples for his hundred thousand dollars and he
would be placed in Bassam's sales organization.

Holibi: He said yes, that's what was supposed to happen.

Thompson: Was he given any special territory that would be his?

HoUbi: Yes, he said he was organizing in the area for each person.

Thompson: In what particular area would Mr. HoUbi have had for his
territory?

Holibi: In Damascus.

Thompson: Damascus itself, that would be a very lucrative area. Were


you ever shown photos or pictures of these vans that you would
have been, had for sale.

Holibi: He said he showed him quite a few different styles, different


models for the vans.

Thompson: Bassam?

Holibi: Bassam.

Thompson: These were in what form. Were they in the form of


photographs, or pktures or sketches or what? For catalogues,
or what?

HoHbj: He sajd H was a lhtle small catalogue, about three, four or five
pjctures.

Thompson: I see. WhHe the scheme was ju operatjon, djd he have any hot
prospects?

HoHbi: He sajd he had a few people ready to buy.

Thompson: Did, in his opinion, did the scheme seem to be vjable,


profitable, and a money-maker?

HoHbi: He said he felt that he would, jf H worked out and finished, he


would have made, he would have doubled his money.

Thompson: Why? Why was H viable.

Holibi: He said that these things are really, people wanted jt really
bad, and they had the money, but they want the merchandise.
If they had jt, they would be able to sell it.

Thompson: If all thjs is the case, then why djd the scheme collapse?
Why didn't it work?

He felt that the war was the cause of the whole thing.

Thompson: Could you explain a Httle more about that? Because that's
what so interestjng. How the war . •

Holibi: In case of a war like this, people usually are afraid to spend
their money, so what they do as soon as the war breaks out,
they try to keep as much cash as they can jn thefr pocket, just
to, so they may not be able to sell any thjng and they may hurt
themselves.

Thompson: Before we went on tape, just now, had you and I ever
exchanged any words?

Holibj: No, he dMn't.

Thompson: Before we went on tape, did I eHher threaten you or offer you
any reward or inducement to testHy in this matter?

Holibj: He sajd no, you didn't.

Thompson: Before we went on tape, dj d I threaten you, or did anyone else


ever, pardon me, before we went on tape, has anyone else
spoken to you, and, offered you any reward or offered you any
inducement or threatened you jn any way to testHy jn any
partkular way in thjs manner?

Holibj: No, he sajd no.


Thompson: It remains just for me then to thank you, very much for g1vmg
me your time today and helping us get to the bottom of this.
And, finally, with your permission, jf I may take a photograph
of you and photograph your identity card. Thank you so much.

he has some money, therefore he approached Mm and he
expJajned to hjm about the case and he was jnterested jn jt,

Thompson: When djd that occur?

Manzalgy: He sajd toward the end of 179.

Thompson: That was explajned by Bassam?

Manzalgy: Of course.

Thompson: What dj d Bassam expJajn to you about what the scheme was?
What did you understand the scheme to be?

Manzalgy: He said that when he came and explained to him about what kind
of cars they were going to deliver and what kind of scheme they
were working, he, ah •.. and he already had spoken to other
people about it, they were talking about these things, he knows
that people wanted these tMngs, therefore he was really inter-
ested because he knows he's going to make the money because
the people wanted it very badly.

Thompson: What was the deal? What did you have to give and what did
you get?

Manzalgy: He said he knows that he is supposed to be member to pay


$100,000 and then he wm get some kind of dealership and he be
able to sell and double hj s money.

Thompson: Did you come up with the hundred thousand bucks?

Manzalgy: For him was, ah, it was a, he didn't have the cash all at once,
he had to sell some of his merchandise, and ah, without even
making the profit because it was a marginal profit, short or
lease merchandise anyway, but he sold it and he was able to
secure the hundred thousand dollars and gave it to Hassam.

Thompson: In what form was the hundred thousand dollars given to


Hassam?

Manzalgy: He gave him, he gave it to him by check.

Thompson: When?

Manzalgy: He said in the end of, toward the end of '79.

Thompson: Did he ever receive it like, that check back again?

Manzalgy: He received like, toward seven eight months later.

Thompson: Was he to be a member of Bassam 1s sales organization?

Manzalgy: Yeah, he said it was like a unifying organization where


everybody would be a member and take part and also he would
be delegated a certain area to sell.

Thompson: Which area was that? Was to be his territory?

Manzalgy: He has the dty of Halab.

Thompson: Halab is where?

Manzalgy: In the northern part of Syria.

Thompson: Ah. In this context while the scheme was alive, did you ever
see any photos of vans?
Manzalgy: He sajd he saw dHferent styles of vans and dHferent models of
thjngs.

Thompson: DHferent jn what form? In terms of photos, pktures, what?

Manzalgy: He sajd he saw some catalogues.

Thompson: Were the vans to be, was the hundred thousand dollars to
pay for tMs territory, or were you to get sample vans?

Manzalgy: He sajd he would have bought a dealershjp and also part of


samples for vans.

Thompson: rnd he have any hot prospects for vans durjng thjs tjme? rnd
people want to buy what he was gojng to be selUng?

Manzalgy: He sajd he had quHe a few people ready to buy, wHHng and
able to buy.

Thompson: In hjs opjnfon was it a scheme where there was consjderable


profit to be made?

Manzalgy:He sajd he expected to make a lot of money.

Thompson: Does he have any jdea how much he would make per van?

Manzalgy: He expected a Httle more than a double.

Thompson: The mark-up would be about double. Does he know why the
scheme collapsed?

Manzalgy: He sajd that there were people, we feel as we all do, that whne
the war break out, felt that to keep cash jn thefr pocket would
be better off than havjng anythjng else.

Thompson: So H's baskally the same thjng that I have heard before the
jnstabHity in the regjon. Before going on tape, we spoke a bit
but not about tMs case. We had something to eat together, and
we spoke about (unclear) . Is that correct?

Manzalgy: No, we djdn't about it at all.

Thompson: Then before gojng on tape, you and I have never talked about
thjs case before. Before gojng on tape, djd I or any other person
offer you any reward or inducement to testify jn any partkular way
in tMs matter?

Manzalgy: No, he understood that.

Thompson: You understand that, jn ••. , before going on tape djd I or

A.t 8:30 .................................jJ.,M
STATE OF NEW YORK) ALLYN Z. LITE
) ss. :
COUNTY OF NEW YORK)
TRACY WONG, being duly sworn, deposes and says:
1. I am the Defendant in the above-entitled action
and I submit this affidavit to supplement the affidavit hereto-
fore submitted by my attorney, David Breitbart, in support of an

application pursuant to Rule 35 of the Federal Rules of Criminal


Procedure for a reduction of my sentence.

2. The Court, at the time of sentencing, was in pos-

session of a pre-sentence report and a pre-sentence memorandum

filed by Mr. Breitbart. The pre-sentence report which set forth

the government's version of the nature and circumstances lead-

ing up to and surrounding my involvement in the criminal acts

charged, was inaccurate in many respects. These inaccuracies


were never brought to the Court's attention and will be set forth
herein.

3. The Court was also not aware of certain facts re-

lating to my willingness to cooperate with the government prior

to my indictment, which facts I believe, if known to the Court at


the time of sentencing, would have impelled the Court to give me
a much lighter sentence, one more in conformity to the sentences

imposed on the other cooperating defendants in this case.

4. For reasons that I do not understand, the pre-

sentence memorandum submitted to the Court by my attorney made no

mention of any of the above facts.


5. My first contact with the Federal Government oc-

curred in early February, 1982, when I received a telephone call


from James Nielsen, a Special Agent with the Drug Enforcement
Administration ("DEA"). Mr. Nielsen identified himself and
requested a meeting with me.
6. Al though I was obviously aware of Mr. Nielsen's
purpose in meeting with me, in view of my past drug activities, I
arranged to meet with him the following day without benefit of

counsel. As a matter of fact, I did not even consult with counsel


prior to my meeting.
7. At the first meeting with Mr. Nielsen, he revealed

to me sufficient specific information about dates and quantities

involved of narcotics transactions in which I had participated


and about Olayinka Fischer and Joseph Margarite, two principal

subjects, to make it clear to me that Mr. Nielson had substantial

knowledge about my illegal activities. Mr. Nielson was accom-


panied by Special Agent Cipriano.

8. Among other information, Mr. Nielsen wanted to

know the whereabouts of Margarite.


9. Mr. Nielsen told me that my cooperation was de-

- 2 -
sired and that I would be given consideration by AUSA Phillip
Sellinger if I cooperated. Mr. Nielsen did not make any specific

promises to me, but he did tell me that he believed I would be

able to retain my assets, including my shipping business, if I

cooperated. I told Mr. Nielsen that I would get back to him.

10. I immediately communicated with an attorney friend


of mine and requested that he assist me in locating an attorney

specializing in criminal matters, to represent me. With his


assistance, I located and retained David Breitbart, Esq., my
current attorney.

11. I met with Mr. Breitbart that same evening and

told him what had transpired. Mr. Breitbart told me that he knew
Agent Cipriano and had just beaten him on a large seizure of
marijuana on a boat.
12. I advised Mr. Breitbart that I had not seen either
Margarite or Fischer since July, 1979, when Fischer had been ar-

rested in Paris. I told Brietbart that I was concerned about the

fact that Margarite was allegedly involved in the Buddy Jacobsen

murder case. Nevertheless, I requested that Mr. Breitbart com-

municate with the government to discuss the areas in which they

wanted my assistance.

13. I spoke to Breitbart several times over the next

few days to inquire about his progress. He told me that he had

spoken to Agent Cipriano once, but that Cipriano did not seem to

have any information and had promised to call back later.

14. Several days later, Mr. Breitbart told me that he

- 3 -
had not heard anything further from the government, that "no news
was good news" and that there was nothing further to be done.

15. I had no further communication with Mr. Breitbart

or any one else on the matter until September 21, 1983, one and

one-half years later when, without any prior notice, I was


arrested.
16. I immediately called Mr. Breitbart and again asked

him to find out what assistance the government wanted from me.

Mr. Breitbart thereafter advised me that AUSA Sellinger had


facetiously told him that he would let me go if I helped him get
Henry Kissinger.

17. Thereafter, while incarcerated awaiting trial, I


constantly requested that Mr. Breitbart arrange for my coopera-

tion with the government and a plea bargain.

18. Despite my desire from the outset to cooperate

with the government, through a combination of circumstances which

I do not understand and over which I had no control, no such co-

operation was ever arranged.


19. As a result, through no desire of mine, I found

myself in the position of being the only defendant who had not

cooperated. It was this fact, more than any other I believe,

which was responsible for this Court's decision to sentence me to

a prison term much larger than was imposed on any other defen-
dant, including Ferneborg and Margarite, who were the principal

participants in these activities.


20. After my sentencing, I continued my efforts to

- 4 -
cooperate and, at my request, Mr. Brietbart arranged a debriefing
session with AUSA Sellinger. At the conclusion of this meeting

at which I was completely cooperative, I was asked to prepare

written memoranda setting forth my knowledge of various matters.


21. In March and April, 1984, I sent such memoranda

to Mr. Breitbart for transmission to AUSA Sellinger. The only


subsequent communication on the subject came when Mr. Breitbart
informed me simply that the government wanted boatload cases, not

little ones.

22. This further effort to asssist the government was


not only completely unsuccessful, it had the concomitant adverse
effect of placing me in great physical danager at Danbury prison

where it has become necessary to place me under special security


protection.
23. As a result of all of the foregoing, I feel that I

am being penalized for a series of events and circumstances for


which I was not responsible. In writing this, I am not, by any

means, intending to deny my substantial guilt or to imply that my

criminal activities do not warrant punishment. I am merely stat-

ing that I believe this Court would have been more lenient if it

had known all of the facts.

24. It does seem, however, in view of the sentences

imposed on the other defendants (either probation or less than

two years), that my sentence would have been considerably lighter

if my desires to cooperate had been implemented. The reasons for

the failure of communication between me, through Mr. Breitbart,

- 5 -
and the government are irrelevant. What is relevant, however, I
believe, is that this Court was not made aware of all of the

facts either before sentence or to date, in connection with this


application.

25. Insofar as the pre-sentence report is concerned,

the following errors are present:


Par. 1, Line 6:
(a) " • amount of thai stick
is 5,500 pounds •• • amount of cocaine is 70 pounds."

This should be approximately 175 punds of


thai stick and 30 pounds of cocaine.
(b) Par. 4, Lines 1-2: " • • • Tracy Wong met
Joseph Margarite and GJosta Ferneborg, international drug dealers
their entire adult lives."
Implicit is the notion that I met Margarite
and Ferneborg for drug dealing. On the contrary, I met them in-

nocently at a social function, where they were introduced to me


as executives in the recording industry. After a bit of time
passed, they asked me if I could transfer some funds for them.

At this time, I was engaged as a legal businessman in the shipping

trade.

( c) Par. 4, Lines 2-4: "Wong told Ferneborg and


Margarite that he knew how to transport enormous sums of money
into and out of the United Staes without keeping any records."

This is not so. I said that I could transfer

funds, quickly, from one bank to another because of my shipping

involvement. "Wire transfers" are very common in my business

where, incidently, records and documentation are clearly kept.


(d) Par. 4, lines 4-5: "Ferneborg asked Wong to
transport a substantial amount of money to Bangkok, Thailand in
connection with a thai stick deal."

- 6 -
Ferneborg asked me to wire transfer funds,

approximately $20,000, to Bangkok, Thailand for travel expenses

and other operating costs, which was done through my Manufactur-

ers Hanover Trust account, in the name of Kemscott Trading Co.,

Ltd. -- resulting in full records and documentation. I did not

know the illegal purpose for which the money was intended, more-
over, since Ferneborg was a non-u.s. citizen, apparently with

no bank account of his own, I thought the request to be quite

normal.
(e) Par. 4, Lines 5-7: "Ferneborg told Wong that
the money transfer was an illegal venture, but Ferneborg did not
say it was for a drug venture."

No, see ,r (d) supra.

(f) Par. 4, Lines 7-8: "Wong transferred the


money and shortly thereafter began demanding a large amount
amount of money as his payment for such transfer."
No, I only received $3,000.

(g) Par. 5, Lines 3-4: "Margarite and Ferneborg


accepted Wong's of fer to smuggle coca in through his diplomat •••• "

No, I did not make an outright offer to smug-

gle cocain through the diplomat. Margarite and Ferneborg asked

me whether I could transport packages on any of my ships and I

told them that this was impossible for me to do. Here, they be-

gan to intimidate me with every possible exposure of my activity.

At this point I realized I was involved in an illegal venture.

( h) Par. 5, Lines 5-6: "Over approximately the


next two years • Wong arranged 8 separate drug deals. • • • "

No, only 6 transactions were attempted over

13 months.

- 7 -
( i) Par. 6, Lines 5-6: "Wong • • • carrying ap-
proximately $20,000 he infested in this venture. Wong gave the
money to Margarite."

No, I did not invest any money in this first


movement. Moreover, if, indeed, I had ways to "transport money

without keeping records," why would I carry the money on my per-

son and hand deliver it to Margarite, as stated above. Again,


if I had to transfer funds, I would wire transfer them, thereby

eliminating the risk of being searched at the borders. It is my

understanding that the money was "fronted" by parties unbeknowest

to me.

(j) Par. 7, Lines 1-2: "Wong carried $100,000


which he gave to Margarite to purchase the cocaine."

No, I did not invest $100,000 for the pur-

chase of cocaine, and again I would not carry it on my person.

I understood that the money for the cocaine was fronted by the

suppliers.

(k) Par. 8, Line 2: "Wong again invested


$100,000."

No, I did not.

(1) Par. 9, Lines 1-2: " .Wong, Ferneborg


and Margarite began to plan a trip to import approximately 3,700
poulds of thai stick marijuana."

No, I knew nothing about this movement; my

function was solely being the liason with the diplomat, and

clearly this role did not apply to such a large movement where

the services of the diplomat were not needed.

(m) Par. 9, Line 3: " • • • $100,000 of which came


from Wong."

- 8 -
No, I invested approximately $35,000 in what
Margarite represented to me as ligitimate trades in teak wood,

rubies and rice. This money was secured by the title to a Beech-

craft 18 aircraft, supposedly owned by one "Jesse Buck."


(n) Par. 9, Lines 6-8: "Actually, Wong, Mar-
garite and Ferneborg planned to raise $150,000 to finance the
remainder of the 3,700 pould load. This was accomplished by
Wong. • • • "
No, see ,r(m) supra.

(o) Par. 11 - Entire paragraph: "In May, 1979


• . • seized the thai sticks."

No, I never went to any other city except


Bogata for cocaine movements. The reason for this is because all

travelers are subject to possible search and seizure with any

travel within Columbia, consequently, the diplomat wished to keep


his movements to a minimum. Also, since international flights

only originated from Botata, the diplomat did not wish to subject
himself to the possibility of an additional search before board-
ing his plane from Cartaghana to Bogata.

(p) Par. 13, Lines 2-4: "Wong, however, told


Margarite that he knew other diplomats who he might try to enlist
inthe drug smuggling scheme."

No. Because certain people knew of my close

involvement with the diplomat, among whom was a Reutors News

Agency correspondent, Joy Elliot, who had the United Nations


beat. She was quite aware of the press coverage and AP wire ser-

vice reports, as a result of the diplomat's detainment in Paris.

Since I was also known to her, it would be foolhardy and stupid

for me to enlist more diplomats.

- 9 -
( q) Par. 14, Lines 1-2: "Wong told Margarite and
Ferneborg that he laundered his money through bank accounts in
several foreign countries."
No, no need to do this, since most of my

trades originated outside of the United States, i.e., both the

suppliers of commodities and the shipowners were uaually non-

American, therefore there was no need to "launder" funds which


were located out of the United States to begin with.

(r) Par. 14, Lines 2-4: "Wond told Margarite


that the reason for these foreign bank accounts was to hide the
money from the Federal Government to which he had not paid taxes
since at least 1977."

No, the reason I maintained certain accounts

was to facilitate various shipping transactions with a number of

third-world countries and/or companies, who booked their letters


of credit with localized and, usually, very small banks.

(s) Par. 15 - Entire Paragraph: "After the deten-


tion of Fisher • • • 11
That absolutely never happened.
II
(t) Par. 16, Line 1: • Wong made approxi-
mately $450,000 in profit • • • "

No, I made approximately $150,000, of which

approximately $50,000 went to the diplomat. The balance of the


funds was spent.

26. In view of the foregoing, I urgently request this

Court to reconsider and ameliorate its sentence and give me an

opportunity to appear before the Court on this application to

enable me to expand on the facts contained in this Affidavit.

27. The price I am paying for my crime -- my incarcer-

ation -- has been and still is a very dear one. And I shall pay

- 10 -
for it the rest of my life. This also comes with a sobering
sense of humiliation and disgrace. Not only have I disappointed

myself; I have dashed to the ground the lofty expectations of

family and friends. The Chinese have an expression which charac-

terizes this strong feeling of total failure and despair: it is


"loss of face."

28. Unfortunately, this loss of face extended to my

parents, who painfully suffered from this experience. When I was


before you last, I mentioned the critical condition of my father,

then suffering from cancer. He died on March 11, 1984. Because


of my recent transfer from the MCC in New York to Danbury Prison,
I was not allowed to attend his funeral in St. Louis. This one
incident shocked me more than any other and made me realize the
extent and impact of my loss of liberty. As a result of my ab-
sence at the painful passing of a loved one, my life forever will

be plagued with the deepest sense of personal guilt and remorse.


29. My mother, too, is going through a period of loss
equal to that experienced when my sister died and when she was

divorced from my father. She has a history of depression. I


simply would like to point out that my mother's healthy years,

both mental and physical, are numbered, in light of the above, of

her age and her severe arthritic condition.

30. I now realized what the Court meant when it said


punishment was its main intent in sentencing. The months spent

at MCC and now at Danbury are filled with regret, humiliation


and sorrow. Punishment goes far beyond the mere deprivation of

- 11 -
those obvious material needs and wants which every inmate craves;
punishment really is where the "bars," instead of being made of

iron, are those forged from ignorance, insensitivity and fear.


31. Given my background, I hope you can sympathize

with my bizarre feeling of loss in not being among "educated

people." Up until my incarcertaion, I took for granted the gift


of knowledge and yearning for the truth given by my training. In

retrospect, I now understand why I assumed such a cavalier atti-


tude: I was a person under the daily influence of drugs, either
alcohol, marijuana or cocaine. This was not pointed out when I
first appeared before you. Upon my coming to Manhattan, some
time ago, my initiation into the "drug scene" was a slow but,
nevertheless, devastating one. Whatever the reason was -- peer

pressure, ego gratification or social interaction, I found myself


pulled into this ambiance where, quite frankly, drug usage was

accepted and taken for granted.


32. My experience with incarcertaion has caused me to

recognize the serious damage I have caused not only to society,

but to myself and all of those close to me. I hope to God that

my period of incarceration will be short enough for me to main-

tain a capacity for impartial observation, and to preserve my own

sense of humanity and compassion. In this regard, Judge Stern,

the fear I am experiencing in prison is overwhelming. Ever since


the day of my arrest, fear has been my constant companion. Fear

exists every waking hour as the result of the wrath or hostility

engendered from a seemingly innocent remark or unconscious stare.

- 12 -
Often I awaken perspiring heavily, experiencing strong heart pal-
ipatations and hypertension which have been totally foreign to me

prior to my incarceration.

33. In the final analysis, Judge Stern, your emphasis

on punishment as a deterrent seems to be the correct one. Since

my incarcertation, I have learned the tremendous difference be-

tween punishment and rehabilitation; for me the harsh aspects of


punishment, having been realized, prepares me for the road to re-

habilitation. However, the degree to which and the length of time

needed to discern this difference varies from individual to indi-

vidual. I can tell you, honestly, Judge Stern, that the lesson

has been learned. The weight of such punishment has been and re-

mains an overwhelming experience.

34. In view of everything I have written here, I im-

plore the Court to reconsider the sentence imposed upon me and to

reduce and/or modify it. I believe I have much to offer in the

rest of my life. A much shorter period of incarcertaion combined

with an alternative sentence such as work in a drug rehabili ta-

t ion center would adequately punish me and at the same time en-

able me to reconstruct my life in a useful, worthwhile fashion.

The undersigned has recited three recent sales of properties most similar and proximate to subject and has considered these in the market analysis. The descrip•
tion includes a dollar adjustment, reflecting market reaction to those items of significant variation between the subject and comparable properties. If a significant
item in the comparable property is superior to, or more favorable than, the subject property, a minus(-} adjustment is made, thus reducing the indicated value of
subject; if a significant item in the comparable is inferior to, or less favorable than, the subject property, a plus(+) adjustment is made. thus increasing the indica-
ted value of the subject.

COUNTY OF ESSEX:

PHILIP R. SELLINGER, being duly sworn, deposes and

says:

1. I am an Assistant United States Attorney and am

familiar with the facts contained herein. This affidavit is

submitted in support of an application for an Order permitting

the United States to sell the property described in Exhibits A,

B, and C attached hereto.

2. On December 6, 1983, the defendant Tracy Wong

entered a guilty plea to Count 1 of the Indictment herein. In

so doing, the defendant admitted that he had taken part in an

international conspiracy to import into the United States

cocaine and marijuana valued at more than ten million dollars.

3. After the defendant entered his guilty plea, he

conveyed to the United States his interest in the property

described in Exhibits A and B attached hereto.


Theodore Wolf, a nominee of the defendant, conveyed to the

United States his interest in the property described in Exhibit

C attached hereto. Such property was purchased with the pro-

ceeds of narcotics sales and was therefore subject to for-

feiture pursuant to 21 u.s.c. Section 881.


4. The United States seeks to sell the property

described in Exhibits A, B, and C attached hereto pursuant to

28 u.s.c. Section 200l{b). James McLaughlin, Ernest R. Schade

and Ernest Clark have agreed to appraise the real property.

Circumstances Culminating in Defendant's Plea

S. During the trial it was suggested by Judge Stern

that we recess and discuss a possible plea. After discussions

between Mr. Phillip Sellinger, the AUSA assigned to this case,

and myself, the Judge agreed to see us in chambers.

At first, the government was offering an 848 count with

a cap of 15 years. The government then was told by Judge Stern

of the onerous consequences of an 848 plea and that in his mind,

a ten year sentence under 848 was analogous to a 30 year sentence

under any other statute because of the lack of parole

opportunities under 848.

The government then offered a 15 year count and the

defendant, through counsel, asked for two 5 year counts which

request was refused by the government.

At this juncture we again met in Judge Stern's

chambers. During the course of the discussion in chambers, the

following occurred:

a) The Court asked the AUSA why he would not give the plea

requested by the defendant; that this would certainly give the

Court sufficient scope to deal with this particular case.

The Judge asked the Assistant whether he had read a

memorandum prepared by the Judge when he was the United States

Attorney. The memo, as described by the Judge, was to the effect

that a trial was pointless if the Judge could be put in the

identical sentencing position by the offer and acceptance of a

plea. Impliedly the Court's comments suggested that a maximum of


10 years provided sufficient scope of punishment in this

particular case. The Judge also indicated that this memo had

been printed in a Law Review article and expressed surprise that

the Assistant had not read it.

The Assistant was sent back to his supervisors with the

suggestion that they accede to the five year counts.

b) Also, during this discussion, the Judge alluded to his

sentencing of another defendant in a related case - described by

the Judge as the "Boat" case. I believe the defendant's name was

Wasserman. The case had been made by using the same informants.

As described by the Judge, that defendant had been responsible

for the importation of millions of dollars of drugs, that

defendant had been a fugitive, that defendant had used five

different pseudonyms, that defendant was the ringleader and that

defendant had been sentenced to 10 years. As the Court noted,

certainly, he had sufficient scope with 10 years here.

c) The Judge also indicated that the two 5 year counts were

sufficient noting that the two informants, who were probably

involved in the Jacobson murder case, had received 18 months.

One had apparently not been sentenced yet.

6. From the above, i . e . , the reference to the Law

Review article; the recommendation that the assistant give the

two 5 year counts; the reference to the Wasserman 10 year

sentence and the sentences of the informants, it appeared that

the Judge was strongly indicating that 10 years was an

appropriate sentence for Tracy Wong.


When the Assistant returned and advised that his

superiors would only give the 15 year count, the Judge indicated

that I should seriously consider taking it.

All of the above communications between Judge Stern,

AUSA Sellinger and myself, were relayed by me to Tracy. While

previously he had been reluctant or non-desirous of taking a

plea, when I relayed Judge Stern's comments about a 10 year

sentence to Mr. Wong, he agreed to plead guilty to the 15 year

count.

7. From all of my experience as defense attorney and

prosecutor, it certainly appeared to me as a professional, that

the Judge was implying that the maximum sentence my client was

facing on a guilty plea was ten years. And, considering Tracy's

background and his role in the illegal endeavor, as compared to

the informers, and the sentences meted out to others who had

pleaded guilty on the indictment, such a sentence did not seem

unrealistic or unwarranted. This, despite the fact that at no

time did Judge Stern overtly indicate or promise that the

sentence would be 10 years or give any specific indication other

than those above mentioned.

Motion to Correct Illegal Sentence

8. In Bifulco v. United States, 100 s.ct. 2247, 447

U.S. 381, the Supreme Court held that the imposition of a special

parole term is not authorized upon conviction for conspiracy in

violation of 21 u.s.c. Sec. 846. Accordingly, Mr. Wong's

sentence to a five year special parole term on Count One of the


indictment is unlawful and his sentence on that count should be

corrected to eliminate the special parole term.

WHEREFORE, it is respectfully requested that defendant's

motion for a reduction of sentence and correction of the illegal

sentence be granted, together with such other and further relief


which to the Court seems just and proper.

Re: Plea Agreement with Jay Sicre C,r o<.73-)qq
( HJ" 5
Dear Mr. Zeiler:

This letter sets forth the full and complete plea


agreement between Jay Sicre and the United States Attorney for
the District of New Jersey.

Based upon the understandings specified below, the


United States will accept a guilty plea from Jay Sicre to a one
count Information charging a violation of 21 u.s.c. Section
843(b), carrying a maximum sentence of four (4) years and a
$30,000 fine. If Jay Sicre enters a guilty plea and is
sentenced on this charge, the United States will dismiss
Indictment No. 83-199 and will bring no further charges
relating to the conspiracy which is the subject of that
indictment.

It is understood that the sentence to be imposed upon


Jay Sicre is within the sole discretion of the sentencing
Judge. This Office cannot and does not make any promise or
representation as to what sentence Jay Sicre will receive nor
will it recommend any specific disposition. However, this
Office will also inform the sentencing Judge and the Probation
Department of: (1) this agreement; (2) the nature and extent of
Jay Sicre's activities with respect to this case; and all other
information, favorable or otherwise, in its possession relevant
to sentence. It is understood that the United States
specifically reserves the right to correct factual
misstatements relating to sentencing proceedings and to oppose
any application by Jay Sicre for a reduction of sentence
pursuant to Rule 35, Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.
It is further understood that this agreement is
limited to the United States Attorney's Office for the District
of New Jersey and cannot bind other federal, state or local
prosecuting authorities, although this Office will bring this
agreement to the attention of other prosecuting offices, if
requested.

Finally, it is understood that this agreement was


reached without regard to any civil matters that may be pending
or may arise involving Jay Sicre, including, but not limited
to, proceedings by the Internal Revenue Service relating to
potential civil tax liability.

No additional promises, agreements and conditions have


been entered into other than those set forth in this letter and
none will be entered into unless in writing and signed by all
parties.

Very truly yours,

Dear Mrs. Lussier:

Please be ad vised that I reviewed your property known as Tax Block


6456 Lots 35 and 37 and I have compiled the following facts:

One of my comparables in evaluating this piece was the adjoining parcel


( Block 6456 lots 25, 31 and 33) which was sold at public auction on
July 27, 1983 for $90,000.00. This parcel consists of 18,956 square
feet or $4. 75 pe:r; square foot. Your pieces contain approximately
11,226.8 square feet, therefore, times $4.75 per square foot would equal
$53,327 .oo.

However, the comparable was 16 months ago and, therefore, I do see


an increase in value of 12%, therefore, I conclude that the true value
today is approximately $59,726.00.

Please contact me if you need any further information.

Yours very truly,

Dear Betty,
As per our discussion, we are enclosing a computer
print out on your home, which indicates a value for replace-
ment cost of $87,115.
You must bear in mind that this is a valuation based
on the number of rooms you have in the house and does not
take into account the type of decorations you may have that
may enhance the value of the house. I do believe it gives a
fairly good idea of what your house is worth. Your homeowner
policy right now is for $79,000, with the inflation guard,
the amount of insurance will go up to about $85,000 automa-
tically.
I don't think we will have to do anything with the
coverage now. However, there is one form that we could
attach to the house. It's called a "Guaranteed Replacement"
endorsement. For $3.00, we can add this to the policy, which
will guarantee that the company will replace your house.
Please call me if you wish this form attached to your
policy.
Thank you.

Sincerely,

Enclosure:

Federal Prison Camp


Pembroke Station
Danbury, CT 06811

8 October 1986

The Honorable Herbert J. Stern


United States District Judge
United States District Court of the
District of New Jersey
United States Post Office and Courthouse
Newark, New Jersey 07102

Dear Judge Stern:

In my last letter of July 2, 1986, I presented various incidents of assis-


tance and cooperation in which I was involved, here at Danbury. Hopefully,
I succeeded in conveying to your Honor a more focused image of my character,
as reflected by these events, than has been attempted by either myself or
others, heretofore.

The purpose of this letter is to expand upon what I feel was a colossal
breach of duty and, yes, justice on the part of the U.S. Parole Commission
with regard to its initial review of my case, February 26, 1986.

At that time, as your Honor may recall, I was represented by Dennis M.


Luther, the Warden of Danbury. This was only the second time, during his
entire 18-year career with the Bureau of Prisons that he has ever appeared
on behalf of an inmate before the commission.

Judge Stern, from my very first encounter with the Government--a meeting
with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in February 1982--I have
always cooperated with every governmental agency asking for my assistance.

As revealed to you by my conduct, here at Danbury, I have steadfastly main-


tained this position--even when I was threatened and even when I was placed
in mortal danger in exposing the wrongdoing of a renegade Lieutenant. In
doing so--at the cost of possibly jeopardising my own well-being--my work
averted a potential disruption or riot from occurring at this Institution
which, in turn, could have resulted in the loss of inmate and/or staff
lives. Moreover, it could have precipitated an even greater calamity be-
cause the disruption was scheduled to take place during a Bureau of Prisons'
Wardens Conference. Please note the enclosed memorandum and letter des-
cribing my actions.
The Honorable Herbert J. Stern Page Two
United States District Judge
Newark, New Jersey 8 October 1986

Because I have followed every policy and program mandated by the Bureau
and the Parole Commission--far, far beyond the norm--I honestly feel that
I have earned some sort of sentence relief.

Please, Judge Stern, I pray that you are not offended by what I have just
said as I would never be so presumptuous as to state my feelings--in writing--
unlessifelt strongly and believed in not only myself and my actions but,
moreover, the intent of the various mandated rules, regulations, programs
and policies of the Bureau and the commission.

The relief I should have earned is not forthcoming from the Parole Commission.

Specifically, under provision of the U.S. Parole Commission Manual, 28 C.F.R.,


2.63 REWARDING ASSISTANCE ... CRITERIA AND GUIDELINES and 2.60 SUPERIOR PROGRAM
ACHIEVEMENT, I am entitled to a minimum of 18 months or more of sentence re-
lief. Please see enclosed copies of these articles.

Furthermore, just days prior to the actual hearing, John Gonzalez, who, at
the time, was my Casemanager, assured me that the commission would look so
favorably upon my service to this Institution that I would most likely re-
ceive a "two or three year reduction in (my) sentence." Judge Stern, these
are the works and impressions of a professional in the field of correctional
work--not my own!

Moreover, two daysago, on October 6th, in a telephone conversation with my


parole attorney, M. Yvonne Gonzalez, Ernest J. Stoukas, United States Pro-
bation Officer in your district stated, "Tracy has certainly been dealt with
harshly. Although he (Tracy Wong) will not be under my supervision because I
am retiring, next year, I shall do anything I can to help him."

Judge Stern, this same man--a probation officer of your Court--originally rec-
commended a 12-year sentence with parole eligibility at the end of 42 months
of incarceration. I, now, have a 10-year sentence!

After automatic changes in guidelines from 40-52 months to 52-80 months and,
finally, to 100 plus months, after my sentencing, I am facing a total of 70
months of incarceration. Every time I cooperated, my "time" increased!
Therefore, I, now, am facing an additional three (3) years of incarceration--
more than double my original sentencing recommendation from·the Court--for ex-
tensive cooperation!

To compound my sense of dismay, the Warden, the Associate Warden, Page True
and the Superintendent of Federal Prison Industries, Peter La Guardia, all
said, "Tracy, you will definitely be rewarded." During the course of my
The Honorable Herbert J. Stern Page Three
United States District Judge
Newark, New Jersey 8 October 1986

acting in an undercover capacity for the Danbury administration, the en-


couragement of seeking a "reward"--in terms of a significant sentence re-
duction--was made to me on three.or four separate occasions by each one
of the previously-mentioned individuals.

With over three (3) years "behind bars" past me and given "this most un-
usual" and "truly remarkable" example of inmate cooperation as characterised
in Warden Luther's letter of March 11, 1986 to the Northeast Regional Parole
Commission, Daniel R. Lopez, it becomes painfully apparent to me that pre-
siding judges--in the name and interest of justice--must use their discre-
tionary powers in order to stop the parole commission's frustrating of the
sentencing expectations of the Court and, moreover, to provide relief honest-
ly earned by inmates according to Government rules and regulations.

Judge Stern, I hate to burden you with the gravity of this letter given the
ever-increasing case loads of Federal judges, but you, your Honor appear to
be the only person to whom I can turn. Please. your Honor, give substance
to that often heard expression, "justice with mercy."

Thanking you for your time and consideration, I remain

Yours truly,

To: Dennis M. Luther, W a r d e ~ ~


Page True, Associate W~~;r--- ,J)-~
~

In November, 1985, I instituted· a reccmnerrlation for Disciplinary


Action against a Lieutenant at FCI, Danbury, Connecticut. This
. Disciplinary Action recarrnendation was a result of unacceptable per-
formance of his assigned duties. Irmediately following the issuance
of my proposal to this employee concerning the Disciplinary Action,
Im1ate l'K:NG, Tracy; REG. NJ. 06005-054, provided Administrative
Staff with infonnation concerning the errployee.

Inmate WOOG infonred Institutional Staff of the errployee's contact


with him and the errployee' s attempt to coerce inmate WCNG into acquir-
ing evidence which would be derogatory concerning the Institution.
The errployee bad confided. m Inmate ~ concern.ing his personal
life and circunstances relevant to the Disciplinary Action proposal..
The emp:J..oyee bad also made several staterrents which -were not consistent
with professional contact with an imate. Imlate ~ infODIEd
Institutional Staff with detailed accounts of his conversations with
the employee. Imate w:NG furtrer agreed to aid the Institution
.in their :investigation .into the employee's suspected unprofessional
contact with inmates. During Nove:nber.r 1985 and Decam:>er, 1985.,
Inmate WrnG provided Institutional Staff with written and oral accounts
of conversations with the enployee. Inmate WCNG further informed.
Staff the errployeewas plannmg to errbar.rass the Warden and the Instit-
ution during a Warden 1 s Conference in January, 1986.

In the later portion of Decembel;", 1985, the errployee was confront-


ed with an official investigati cm concerning the infonnation inmate
WOOG had provided. During the investigation, the e.rrployee- elected
to resign fran his position at FCI, Danbury.

Imate WCNG' s willingness to care fo:rward with the infonnation


he possessed and cooperate with Institutional Staff was a contributmg
factor in the Bureau of Prisons identifing an errployee having unpro-
fessional contact with inmates. Inmate WCNG' s infonnation was accurate
and was an asset to an internal investigation. I an of. the opinion
the Parole Carmission should be made aware of Imate WONG's cooperation
with Institutional Staff concerning this matter. I would· recamend
this merrorandun be made available to the hearing exam:iners durmg
Imate WCNG's parole hearing.

/ ( ; ~2.57 SPECIAL PAROLE('"~RMS. (

-- ( a) The Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act, 21 U.S. C. Sections 801 to 966,
provides that, on conviction of certain offenses, mandatory "special parole terms"
must be imposed by the court as part of the sentence. This term is an additional
period of supervision which commences upon completion of any period on parole or
mandatory release supervision from the regular sentence; or if the prisoner is
released without supervision, commences upon such release.

(b) At the time of release under the regular sentence, whether under full term
expiration or under a mandatory release certificate or a parole certificate, a separate
Special Parole Term certificate will be issued to the prisoner by the Federal Prison
System.

(c) Should a parolee be found to have violated conditions of release during


supervision under his regular sentence, i.e., before commencement of the Special
Parole Term, he may be returned as a violator under his regular sentence; the Special
Parole Term will follow unaffected, as in paragraph (a) of this section. Should a
parolee violate conditions of release during the Special Parole Term he will be subject
to revocation on the Special Parole Term as provided in Sec. 2.52, and subject to
reparole or mandatory release under the Special Parole Term.

(d) If a prisoner is reparoled under the revoked Special Parole Term a certificate of
parole to Special Parole Term is issued by the Commission. If the prisoner is
rnandatorily released under the revoked "Special Parole Term" a certificate, of
mandatory release to Special Parole Term will be issued by the Federal Prison System.

(e) If regular parole or mandatory release superv1s1on is terminated under Sec. 2.43,
the Special Parole Term commences to run at that point in time. Early termination from
supervision from a Special Parole Term may occur as in the case of a regular parole
term, except that the time periods considered shall commence from the beginning of
the Special Parole Term.

I §2.58 PRIOR ORDERS.

Any order of the United States Board of Parole entered prior to May 14, 1976,
including, but not limited to, orders granting, denying, rescinding or revoking parole
or mandatory release, shall be a valid order of the United States Parole Commission
according to the terms stated in the order.

fl §2.59 ABSENCE OF HEARING EXAMINER.


In the absence of a hearing examiner, a Regional Commissioner may exercise the
authority delegated to hearing examiners in Section 2.23.

II §2.60 SUPERIOR PROGRAM ACHIEVEMENT.

(a) Prisoners who demonstrate superior program achievement (in addition to a good
conduct record) may be considered for a limited advancement of the presumptive date
previously set according to the schedule below. Such reduction will normally be
considered at an interim hearing or pre-release review. It is to be stressed that a
clear conduct record is expected; this reduction applies only to cases with documented
sustained superior program achievement over a period of 9 months or more in custody.

(b) Superior program achievement may be demonstrated in areas such as educational,


vocational, industry, or counselling programs, and is to be considered in light of the
specifics of each case.

11/11/84 R82
, ('c) Upon a finding of supe('~ program achievement, a pre; usly set presumptive
date' may be advanced. Th1: normal maximum advancement p~rmissible for superior
program achievement during the prisoner's entire term shall be as set forth in the
following schedule. It is the intent of the Commission that the maximum be exceeded
only in the most clearly exceptional cases.

(d) Partial advancements may be given (for example, a case with superior program
achievement during only part of the term or a case with both superior program
achievement and minor disciplinary infraction ( s)]. Advancements may be given at
different times; however, the limits set forth in the following schedule shall apply to
the total combined advancement.

(e) Schedule of Permissible Reductions for Superior Program Achievement.


Total months required by original Permissible
presumptive date: reduction
14 months or less ...................... Not applicable.
15 to 22 months ........................ Up to 1 month.
23 to 30 months ........................ Up to 2 months.
31 to 36 months ........................ lJp to 3 niontns.
37 to 42 months ........................ Up to 4 months.
43 to 48 months ........................ Up to 5 months.
49 to 54 months ........................ Up to 6 months.
55 to 60 months ........................ Up to 7 months.
61 to 66 months ........................ Up to 8 months.
67 to 72 months ........................ Up to 9 months.
73 to 78 months ........................ Up to 10 months.
79 to 84 months ........................ Up to 11 months.
85 to 90 months ........................ Up to 12 months.
91 plus months ........................ Up to 13 months.
Plus up to 1 additional month for each 6 months or fraction thereof,
by which the original date exceeds 96 months.

(f) For cases originally continued to expiration, the statutory good time date
(calculated under 18 U.S. C. 4161) will be used for computing the maximum reduction
permissible and as the base from which the reduction is to be subtracted for prisoners
serving sentences of less than five years. For prisoners serving sentences of five
years or more, the two-thirds date (calculated pursuant to 18 U.S. C. 4206(d)) will be
used for these purposes. If the prisoner's presumptive release date has been further
reduced by extra good time ( 19 U.S. C. 4162) and such reduction equals or exceeds
the reduction applic~ble for superior program achievement, th~ Commission will not
give an additional reduction for superior program achievement.

I §2.61 QUALIFICATIONS OF REPRESENTATIVES.

(a) A prisoner or parolee may select any person to appear as his or her representative
in any proceeding, and any representative will be deemed qualified unless specifically
disqualified under paragraphs (b) or (c) of this section. However, an examiner or
examiner panel may bar an otherwise qualified representative from participating in a
particular hearing, provided good cause for such action is found and stated in the
record (e.g., willfully disruptive conduct during the hearing by repeated interruption
or use of abusive language). In certain situations, good cause may be found in
advance of the hearing (e.g., that the proposed representative is a prisoner in
disciplinary segregation whose presence at the hearing would pose a risk to security,
or has a personal interest in the case which appears to conflict with that of the parole
applicant).

11/11/84 R83
I §2.63 :REWARDING ASSISTANCE ..IN .. ,;;fHE PROSECUTION OF OTHER OFFENDEB'S;
" CRITERIA AND G' ·,pELINESt ..

(a) Under the limited circumstances described below, the Commission may consider as
a factor in the parole release decision-making a prisoner's assistance to · law
enforcement authorities in the prosecution of other offenders. The following criteria

Re: Plea Agreement with Douglas Grant 73-/~9


Dear Mr. Reimer:

This letter sets forth the full and complete plea


agreement between Douglas Grant and the United States Attorney
for the District of New Jersey.

Based upon the understandings specified below, the


United States will accept a guilty plea from Douglas Grant to
count one of Indictment 83-199, charging a violation of 21
u.s.c. Section 846, carrying a maximum sentence of five years
imprisonment and a $15,000 fine. If Douglas Grant enters a
guilty plea and is sentenced on this charge, the United States
will bring no further charges relating to a conspiracy between
Douglas Grant and Gosta Ferneborg, Joseph Margarite, and Steven
Malone to distribute controlled substances between 1978 and
1980. The United States will, at the time of sentencing in the
above-captioned matter, move to dismiss the remaining counts of
Indictment 83-199 against Douglas Grant.

It is understood that the sentence to be imposed upon


Douglas Grant is within the sole discretion of the sentencing
Judge. This Office reserves its right to take a position with
respect to the appropriate sentence to be imposed by the
District Court. However, this Office will inform the
sentencing Judge and the Probation Department of: (1) this
agreement; (2) the nature and extent of Douglas Grant's
activities with respect to this case and others; and (3) all
other information, favorable or otherwise, in its possession
relevant to sentence. It is understood that the United States
specifically reserves the right to correct factual
misstatements relating to sentencing proceedings and to oppose
any application by Douglas Grant for a reduction of S€ntence
pursuant to Rule 35, Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.
- 2 -

It is further understood that this agreement is


limited to the United States Attorney's Office for the District
of New Jersey and cannot bind other federal, state or local
prosecuting authorities, although this Office will bring this
agreement to the attention of other prosecuting offices, if
requested.

Finally, it is understood that this agreement was


reached without regard to any civil matters that may be pending
or may arise involving Douglas Grant, inGluding, but not
limited to, proceedings by the Internal Revenue Service
relating to potential civil tax liability.

No additional promises, agreements and conditions have


been entered into other than those set forth in this letter and
none will be entered into unless in writing and signed by all
parties.

Very truly yours,

W. HUNT DUMONT
United States Attorney

-~- ~Y ~awyer nas expia1ned to me, and I understand, that at such
a tr~al the jury wr·"ld 1
be told by the judge· 1.( t I am presumed to be
innocent, and that -ne Government would. 'be required to prove me guilty o
the charge? against.'me beyond a reasonable doubt. I understand that I
would not have to prove that I am innocent, and that I could not be con-
victed unless a;Ll twelve jurors voted unanimously for conviction.-
13. My lawyer has discussed with me, and I understand, that if I went
to trial on these charges, the Government would have to produce in open
court the witnesses against me, and that my lawyer could confront and
cross-examine them and object to evidence offered by the Government.
14. My lawyer has further explained to me, and I understand, that I
have the -right to produce witnesses and could offer evidence in my defen:
at a trial on these charges, and that I would have the right, if I so
chose, to testify on my own behalf at that tria-1; but if I chose not to
testify, the jury could draw no suggestion or inference of guilt from
that fact. · . . · .
15. My lawyer has explained to me, and I understa~d, that if I plead
GUIJ;.,TY to any charge (s) in this indictment (Information) -and the judge
accepts my plea, I WAIVE MY RIGHT TO TR.I.AL AND THE OTHER RIGHTS SET FORTJ
IN PARAGRAPHS 11, 12, 13 and 14 ABOVE. I-am aware and understand that
if my GUILTY plea is accepted, there will be no trial and a judgment of
GUILTY will be entered after which the judge, upon consideration of my
~ presentence report, will impose punishment upon me. I understand that
if I plead GUILXY, the judge may impose the same punishment as if I had
pleaded "not guilty", went to trial and was-convicted by a j'llry.
l6o My lawyer has also explained to me, and r.·understand, that if I
plead GUILTY, I WAIVE MY RIGHT NOT T.O INCRIMINAT~ MYSELF. I understand
that the judge ·will ask me what I did and I will have to acknowledge my
guilt as charged by setting .forth my actions so that.the judge is satis-
fied that I am, indeed, guilty. I understand that any statements I make
at _the tim!= I plead GUILTY, if untrue and made.under oath, can be·the ___
basis of a perjury prosecution against.me.
17. My lawyer has informed me, and I understand, that the maximum
punishment which_ the law provides for the offenses charged in this
Inc'!ictr:1ent (Information) is: . _
A MAXIMUM OF / S- years imprisonment and a fine of $J6'/o tJO
for the offenses charged in Coqnt (.s1_ 0/Ve ' .
My_lawyer has further explained, and I understand, that-there is [no]
[-a~· mandatory minimum punishment of years imprisonment and
[no] [-e1 mandatory minimum fine of$ _____ for the offenses charged
in Courit (s) Of'Jd
I understand_t..,..h_a_t.......;i,....f___I_p...,1-e_a_d-=--GUILTY to Count (.s) uN ff of the

~[_I_u_n_d~e-r,.,._s_t_a_n~d~that if I plead GUILTY and the judge accepts my plea, I
may be sentenced, at the judge's discretion, under the provisions of
the Youth Corrections Act or as a Young Adult Offender if I am presently
at least 18 years of age but not yet 26 year~ of age .. Under ~uch .
sentencing provisions, I understand that I might be given an indeterminai

l 2 THE COURT: United States versus Tracy Wong.

3 Be seated, please. Sorry I was delayed.

Do you know of any legal reason why sentence

5 should not now be pronounced upon your client?

6 NR. EREITB~RT: No.

7 THE COURT: Do you wish to be heard?

8 MR. BREITBART: Yes.

9 THE COURT: I'll hear you.

10 rm. BRIETBART: Judge, first, I would like to

11 make some corrections with regard to the probation report.

12 We have gone over it very, very carefully while I was in

13 your Honor's chambers and with Mr. Wong today.

14 There was an indication that the property that

15 was deeded over to the government in the nature of the fine

16 was worth $80,000. I think Mr. Sellinger and I agree it is

J. 7 worth over $200,000.

18 There is an indication that Mr. Wong never sent

19 a financial statement to Mr. Stoukas. I've been assured

20 that that financial statement was, in fact, sent.

21 In going over the report Mr. Wong is absolutely


'"\ ')
.,;..,__ adamant that in 1979 when the relationship was severed he

23 never offered any other oiplomats a capacity to smuggle,

24 to -- he never ever discussed hurting anyone or harming


l 25 anyone in any manner, much less in the manner described by

1 the discussion in the probation report.

2 Other than that, except for some minor numbers,

the probation report, we feel, accurately reflects the

4 crimes charged, that which the defendant pleaded to, and the

background of the defendant.

6 Between the probation the Presentence Report

7 submitted by the defendant and by Mr. Stoukas, your Honor

C has a very, very accurate picture of the background of the

9 defendant Wong.

10 As your Honor recalls, when it became viable,

11 Mr. Nang pleaded guilty, at what we felt was the earliest

12 possible time. It was, in fa.ct,· after we started trial.

13 But, if your Honor recalls, up until that time --

14 THE COURT: I'm aware of the circumstances. Go

15 ahead.

16 NR. BRIETBART: Judge, in reading the probation

17 report, I'm going to have a problem. The problem, as I see

18 it, is that the crime to which he pleaded guilty to was a

very serious one. And there is no attempt to diminish the

20 error in judgment, the mistake, how serious the crime is, or

21 any of the like.

22 The problem that I have is in reading the

23 probation report. If you separate out the accusation

24 portion or the accusatory portion of the description of the

25 crimes, we're talking about an individual on that second

STANLEY B. RIZEAN, CSR, OFFICIAL COUI;T REPORTER, HET,•IARK, J::'.J.

1 portion of the probation report submitted to your Honor --


l 2 it could, in fact, be the resume by someone being submitted

3 for some substantial position in a financial institution.

4 It's a Horatio Alger type of situation where the young man


i::
..J has been working all of his life, in his mom's restaurant;

6 right through the educational goals that were set; ~YU,

7 Columbia, University of Chicago. He's got an exemplary

8 background.

9 The problem arises that from 1977 to a portion

10 of 1979 he was involved in a very, very serious crime.

11 In analyzing the potential sentences one


~ ')
J..L, attempts to look at the guidelines. I'm sure your Honor is

as familiar with all of the literature, as I, with regard to

14 the purpose of sentence. It has been discussed many, many

15 times. The purpose of sentence has always been described as

16 threefold; punishment for the individual, deterrence to the

17 community at 1arge ana rehabilitation.

18 And I have a serious question in my mind which

19 of these attributes of sentencing will be the ones that are

20 relied upon by your Honor in sentencing Tracy Wong today.

2.1 As far as rehabilitation is concerned, I think

22 that the letters submitted on behalf of him by co-workers,

23 associates, friends and relatives -- I'd like to point out

l 24 to your Honor that at least five of the letter writers are


J
25 present in the Court now. His mom, his aunt and uncle,

ST.tUJLEY B. RIZf.Ill:.N, CSR, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER, NEt•Jl\..RK, N.J.


5

1 friends and business associates.

,').. And just to digress for a moment, it seems

3 remarkable to me and I think a reflection of the man,

L1 himself, that someone who has committed a serious crime and,

5 in fact, a drug crime, has had the wherewithal in his being

6 to be supported by these individuals who know him probably a

7 lot better than your Honor and myself at this time. But I

8 think it is an interesting sidelight to see that these

9 people are still supportive, still feel that he is a

10 salvageable human being who will make a valuable

11 contribution to society, whatever your Honor's sentence is.

12 But in discussing it I don't believe


l..,
~-) rehabilitation is something that is to be concerned about.

14 There is no question that the background of the individual

15 is such that a lesson has been learned. He can go out and

16 resume business activities. And there are jobs waiting for

17 him in the business enterprises that have been described in

18 the letters -- are certainly available.


2
19 Deterrence is something that your Honor knows a

20 lot more about than I. His exposure here is enormous. If

21 your Honor recalls, we offered to plead guilty to two

22 five-year counts, the government insisted on a 15-year

23 count. The range is enormous. And I think any sentence

24 that your Honor imposes based upon all of these facts is

25 certainly justifiable, from probation to the maximum

STANLEY B. RIUIAN, CSR, OFFICIAL COURT REPOR'l'ER, NEWAP.K, N.,J.


6

1 sentence.
l 2 As a deterrence your Honor is the most

3 knowledgeable as to what effect sentencing Tracy Wong will

4 have on the rest of the community. Albeit I don't know if

5 anythins that your Honor does with your Honor's awareness

G and knov,ledge of the law and the Courts from both sides,

7 what deterrent effect it will have. That's your Honor's

8 guideline.

9 As far as punishment is concerned, Judge, I've

10 tried to analyze that from every point of view. I'm a

11 former teacher, a former psychologist. Punishment, I

12 feel -- I hope your Honor feels -- is something that is


, -:,
.1- ...1 imposed as a learning tool; whether it be on a child for

J.4 misbehaving or on a puppy or on an adult or on a felon.

J.5 Punishment is something that we do in order to try to

16 instill in them that which we want them to learn.

17 One of the things that Tracy Wong has going for

18 him is that he is a very, very bright young man. I don't

19 think there is any question about it. His academic

20 credentials bring that forth.

21 From a punishment point of view, Judge, Tracy

Wong has certainly learned a lesson. I think it is

23 absolutely unfathomable for anyone to suggest that Tracy

l 24 Wong would ever commit another crime. I think the insight


.J
25 that has been gained by being housed on the ninth floor at

STANLEY B. RIZivll-:..N, CSR, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER, NEWA.c°'<K, tJ.J.


7

l the Metropolitan Correction Center, the insights that he's

gained from the hardened criminals who are also housed in

3 that facility, that is not him. That is one of the things

4 that he brings most clearly to me.

5 I don't -- I aon't have any idea what your

G Honor is going to do today because I think the range of

7 possibilities are so vast. One of the statistics that I

8 like best as a defense attorney is the statistics that I've

9 learned with regard to sentencing whereupon Tracy is a first

10 offender. I know for a fact from reading these statistics

11 that, if your Honor saw fit, that first offenders who are

12 given an opportunity for another chance, 95 percent of them

13 never commit another crime. I would like your Honor to

14 consider that. You will always have the controls of the

15 Court over this man.

16 I would like your Honor to consider that one of

17 the things that is often said at the time of sentencing on

18 behalf of a defendant is if he has, in fact, pleaded guilt

19 at an early stage or prior to trial I've often heard

20 counsel say that he shows his contrition and remorse at an

21 early stage and this is a first step in beginning to

22 rehabilitate himself to show the Court that he is sorry for

23 what he did.

24 I think we can go a great deal farther than

25 that, Judge, because Tracy was not stopped from committing

STANLEY B. RIZNAN, CSR, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER, NEWARK, N.J.


u0

l this crime when Agent Nielson and the rest of the agents
n ,,
/., assigned to this case knocked on his door and seized a

3 package.

4 Tracy had ceased his involvement on his own in

5 1979 and has been engaged in the ventures that the letters
,.
0 suggest to you for the last few years, and apparently some

7 of them will be coming to fruition very, very soon.


r.
c, I'd like to contrast in your Honor's mind the

9 role of Tracy. I see him -- and I apologize for Tracy

10 but I see him making a serious mistake of judgment in

11 getting involved with some horrible people as a dupe or as

12 an individual who was used.

LJ 13 I think his criminal involvement was doomed to

14 failure from the beginning because he chose individuals such

15 as Ferneborg and Margerite to get involved with.

16 The probation report indicates that Ferneborg,

17 as your Honor recalls, was involved in the Tupper situation,

18 and got 17 months. I was advised today that Margerite has

19 been given time served.

20 To contrast those professional criminals who

21 spent their entire life in the criminal enterprise, who

22 spent their entire life in and out of jail, to contrast that

23 with the short period of time -- not short -- the year and a

24 half that Tracy was involved in this enterprise is something

25 that I'd like the Court to take into consideration in meting

STANLEY B. RIZiiIAH, CSR, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER, NEWARK, N.J.


9

1 out sentence today.

2 He's not a hardened criminal. He raade a

3 serious mistake and committed a serious crime. But he's a

'-!, salvageable human being.

5 One of the other things that the probation

6 report said -- and I'm glad that it's your Honor's policy to

7 disclose the recommendations of the Probation Department as


(1
C, opposed to some of the other judges' feelings. Perhaps your

9 Honor is the only one that discloses the recommendation

10 portion.

11 THE COURT: I always have.

1-; MR. BRIETBART: It's helpful.


"'
13 THE COURT: Well, I don't think that anybody

14 has a right to speak to a sentencing judge in private. Not


3
15 even the Probation Department. He's entitled to know what

16 they say.

17 HR. BREITBART: It's helpful, Judge. And I've

18 advised Tracy that Mr. Stoukas and the office recommended

19 that he be sentenced to 12 years. But there is a misnomer

20 in the suggestion by the Probation Department that if Tracy

21 is, in fact, sentenced to such an onerous sentence that he

22 would be free in 42 months or some such. It's been my

23 experience with the Parole Department, which is separate and

24 apart from the Probation Department, that anyone charged

25 with a conspiracy such as this one, of the magnitude of this

STANLEY B. RIZMAN, CSR, OFFICIP.L COURT REPORTER, NEWA...'RK, H.J.


10

l one, is going to be held to ME or maximum expiration time


7 2 rather than less than one third. He can expect to serve

3 two-thirds -- excuse me -- of whatever your Honor sentences

him to today.

5 And I think that is a very, very serious thing

G for your Honor to take into consideration. He'll get good

7 time, but they do not parole individuals when the

8 allegations are such of the large nature of the conspiracy

0
_, and the number of individuals involved.

10 To summarize, Judge, I think Tracy is a

11 salvageable human being. I think he's already made by

12 showing this Court -- that is another mistake in the report.

13 Mr. Stoukas asked him if he now used drugs. He told Mr.

14 Stoukas he didn't now use drugs. In the report it indicates

15 that he never abused drugs.

16 Tracy had a very heavy cocaine habit. One of

17 the means of paying for the habit was the getting involved

10 in the process.

I think the Court should also take cognizance

20 of the fact that between Margerite and Ferneborg we had the

21 source of the drugs. They were the foreign source. They

22 gave it to him. He facilitated bringing it into the

23 country. Gave it back to them. They distributed. He had

24 none of the ties with the drug world except through

25 Margerite and Ferneborg.

STAr"!LEY B. RIUIAN, CSR, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER, NEWARK, N.J.


11

1 THE COURT: Who corrupted the diplomat?

2 MR. BREITBART: It would appear that is Tr2.cy 1 s

3 responsibility or together. It's very, very difficult to

4 corrupt someone, I agree. I would assume that is the nature

5 of the individual.

6 But they were friends and they used that

7 diplomatic capacity to bring the drugs into the country.

3 There is no question about that. I don't know if corrupted

9 him or he was a corrupt individual who was willing to use

10 his good offices for that purpose.

J.l I do know I have a lot of trouble fathoming in

12 my mind a comparsion between Margerite and Ferneborg who,

for all legitimate purposes, are hoodlums and will always

14, bei with the individual who is now for sentencing before

15 your Honor who transgressed.

16 He committed a very serious crime but I think

17 can make a very important contribution to society. I'd like

18 your Honor to take everything into consideration in that

19 light.

20 THE COURT: I will.

21 Mr. Wong, do you wish to address this Court

22 before sentence is pronounced on you?

23 MR. WONG: Yes, your Honor. Thank you.

24 Judge Stern, this is probably the worst day of

my life.

STANLEY B. RIZM.AN, CSR, OFFICIAL COUR'r REPORTER, NEHARK, N.J.


12

l First of all, I'd like to thank you for your


n intervention during the second day of the trial regarding

3 the disposition of the 848 count. I certainly appreciate

you letting me have the opportunity to plead guilty to the

5 lesser counts.

6 Pas I was saying, this is the worst day in my

7 life. I'm very, very frightened at the prospect of the

0 future months and years to come. I made a stupid mistake

9 which I shall never, ever do again. Ny brief time of

10 incarceration at M.C.C. has given me a tremendous insight

11 into crime, doing wrong. And it is just not my nature to be

12 part of this. There have been many occasions where I've

13 been very, very scarea during my incarceration at H.C.C.

14 It was an error in judgment on my part to get

15 involved in this situation and I was clearly wrong and I

16 shall never do it begin. Even more than r~ own personal

17 feeling of fright is a disappointment which has resulted

18 from this ordeal. The disappointment with my parents, who

19 have done all they possibly coulci to advance my own

20 educational well being and personal well being.

2J. My father is dying of cancer of the espohagus

22 and in all likelihood I probably will not see him before he

23 dies.

24 My mother suffers from arthritis. It's a


J 25 terrible thing for all involved. Not only my parents, but

S'I'AHLEY B. RI ZMAN, CSR, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER, NEWARK, N. J.


13

l close friends and business associates.

2 As you probably are well aware, this can be

3 summarized in a word • .Ai11ong the Chinese, it's losing face

and I've lost face. I shall live with this for the rest of

5 my life and I w·oula appreciate any sort of leniency you deem

6 fit in sentencing me today.

7 Thank you, your Honor.

8 THE COURT: Do you wish to be heard before

9 sentence is pronounced?

10 MR. SELLINGER: Yes, your Honor.

11 Judge, Mr. Breitbart characterizes the

12 defendant as a dupe of f,1argerite ancl Ferneborg.

13 Judge, the facts, the evidence that the

14 government was prepared to present in this case simply don't

15 bear that out. This defendant invested hundreds of

16 thousands of dollars in this drug smuggling venture. He

17 enlisted the services of a United Nations' diplomat to

]. 8 smuggle in every gram of cocaine involved in this case and

19 all the marijuana which could be carried by an individual as

20 opposed to being too large for bulk shipment.

21 He enlisted the services of a vice president of

22 a major new York bank to hide money for him as the nominee

2.3 of property in New York. He made hundreds of thousands of

24 dollars of profits himself in this venture and he wasn't

25 simply a courier or a dupe of Margerite, but he was actually

STAHLEY B. RIZViAN, CSR, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER, NEWARK, N.J.


14

1 an organizer, a financier and one of the masterminds of this


n 2 conspiracy.

3 Granted, Margerite and Ferneborg had been

4 involved in drug dealing in thousands of other cases for

5 their entire adult lives. But they were involved during the

6 same time period of this conspiracy in other cases such as

,
'7 the Oulag in which the defendant wasn't in charge, because

8 he wasn't involved. He wasn't the mastermind. He didn't do

9 anything in that case.

10 In this case the defendant, along with

11 Ferneborg, was at the top. He wasn't at the top. This

12 defendant was born with every advantage given to a young

13 man. Educated at Columbia with a Master's degree. Some of

14: the finest schools in the United States.

15 He has good family. He has background. He has

16 an international business. He has extraordinary

17 intelligence. He has international contacts. He used every

18 one of these advantages not to the benefit of society, but

19 as a passport into the drug dealing business with Margerite

20 and Ferneborg at the very highest levels of that business.

21 Margerite and Ferneborg did not pollute the

22 defendant's mind. The government conceded in the opening

23 statement that the very first time they asked the defendant

24 to transport money for them they told him it was for an

25 illegal venture but not for a drug venture.

STANLEY B. RIZI11AN, CSR, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER, NE1:SJARK, N.J.


15

1 As soon as the defendant found out, however,

2 what the true purpose of the the money transfer was, he

3 first approached Margerite and Ferneborg and told them that

he knew a diplomat who could smuggle cocaine into the United

5 States. They never asl~ed him to get involved in the drug

G smuggling business wittingly. He asked them if he could

7 become involved in their drug smuggling enterprise.

8 During the in the middle of this conspiracy

9 Margerite and Fernebog, as Mr. Breitbart suggested, got

10 involved in the Tupper homocide by Buddy Jacobson. They

11 within two weeks after that murder there was another drug

12 smuggling venture that is part of this case going on.

13 Nargerite was a fugitive. He was being sought

14 by the Bronx D.A.s. He was wearing disguises. Did that

15 shove the defendant away and ask him to reevaluate those

16 with whom he was associated?

17 The defendant's sole concern that he

18 articulated to them was whether the hunt for the figutive

19 Nargerite would affect what had become a very lucrative drug

20 dealing business.

21 Margerite and Ferneborg, yes, they received

22 very lenient sentences. But, as I'm sure your Honor knows,

23 those sentences were a result of e~traordinary cooperation,

almost unprecedented in narcotics cases here. Ferneborg's

25 cooperation led to the indictment of the financiers of the

STANLEY B. RIZNAN, CSR, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER, NEWARK, !,').J.


16

l Oulag. Both of their cooperation led to this case and in a


n 2 major drug smuggling case in West Virginia as well.

3 The defendant was offered several years ago the

opportunity to cooperate in the Oulag case and he passed

5 that opportunity up. Therefore, I don't believe the

6 sentences of either Margerite or Ferneborg are appropriate

7 for consideration of this defendant's sentence.


0
u In sum, the defendant's involvement in this

9 case, his willingness to participate in conversations about

10 murdering potential witnesses, even if no steps were ever

11 taken, his failure to file taxes for legitimate income as

12 well as illegitimate income since at least 1977, all of

EJ 13 these combined show a real utter disrespect for the law

14 which, to the government's mind, warrants a very significant

15 and substantial sentence in this case.

16 Thank you.

17 MR. BRIETBART: May I just respond for a

18 moment, too?

19 THE COURT: Yes.

20 MR. BRIETBART: Judge, we both have seen a lot

21 of cases. To group Tracy Wong in the same focus as

22 Margerite and Ferneborg I think is out of the realm of

23 possibility.

24 We are talking about two hoodlums, two drug

25 dealers who have been in and out of jail with this

STANLEY B. RIZMAN, CSR, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER, I1JEWARK, N.J.


17

l cooperation tactic all their lives. We're talking about

2 guys who made their business deals with guns and with hand

3 grenades.

LI, I don't know if your Honor got a chance to see


5
5 the discovery material. But we're talking -- Ferneborg

6 would go into a meeting with a hand grenade to insure

7 walking out of the meeting. They escaped from -- used every

8 scam, every possible lure. It is absolutely conceivable

9 that they ventured into this business knowing that they were

10 going to cooperate as a way out.

11 THE COURT: Your client saw these men with hand

12 grenades?

13 r-IR. BREITBART: Ho. That all happened in

14 Europe. No violence, guns or any of that was ever part of

J.5 this thing. But I'm trying to do

16 THE COURT: I understand. I am not responsible

17 for the sentences that were given to those men.

18 MR. BREITBART: I understand, Judge. I'm

l Cl trying to contrast what Mr. Sellinger thinks is a parallel,

20 the difference between Tracy Wong -- if Tracy Wong were in a

21 room with Margerite and Ferneborg, there is no question as

22 to who the leaders were, the organizers.

23 THE COURT: I understand that. But I am not

24 responsible for the sentences that were given to those men.

25 MR. BREITBART: That I understand. I just

might be different.

I.\ t•1R. BREITBART: Thank you for giving me the

5 opportunity to respond.

6 THE COURT: I'm sorry. I've tried to hear

7 everything you said.

8 rm.. BREITBART: You have. Thank you for the

9 opportunity. I appreciate it.

10 THE COURT: Mr. Wong, it is not true that you

11 were born with every advantage, so far ilS I can ascertain

12 from the Presentence Report. Your parents had to struggle

13 and you had to struggle to get an education. Yet, you went

14 to the finest schools in the United States. It wasn't

15 because somebody could simply write out a check and send you

16 off without anything more. At least from what I see, it was

17 hara for your family and hard for you.

18 I say that only because I understand what your

19 family feels now. I read the letter that your mother sent

20 me and I can understand her feelings. She makes some

21 illusion to the fact she thinks things may be harder for you

22 because you are of Chinese ancestry. That, I assure you, is

23 not so. That plays no part in this. What does play a part

7 24 in this is after achieving so much you used your knowledge


.J
25 and education to do a great wrong.

S'I'ANLEY B. RIZHAN, CSR, OFFICIAL COURT REPORTER, NEWARK, N.J.

1 You didn't steal because you needed it or

2 because you had only that way to provide a better life for

3 yourself.

In a sense, I can understand some poor person

5 who has no other way who succombs to the opportunity to

G steal because that is the only way they feel they have to

7 provide for themselves. You had it all. I think that what

8 you did was to simply decide that you were smarter than

9 everybody else; that you could use diplomats, foreign bank

10 accounts and the like of that, and you would be able to get

11 away with it.

12 Your lawyer said that the purpose of punishment

13 is to teach. That may be one of the purposes of punishment,

14 but it is not the only purpose. One of the purposes of

15 punishment is to punish because it is right that people

16 should expect that when other people break the law they will

17 be punished for it.

10 It is part of our notions of justice, of

19 dessert, even as you expect to be rewarded and appraised

20 when you do well. You expect and, equally importantly,

21 everybody else has a right to e;{pect when you do wrong, when

22 you commit a crime, when you offend society, you will be

23 punished for it not simply to teach you but to punish you

24 because it is right that you should have your dessert.

25 Our people suffer in every kind of way in every

1 walk of life. We're victimized by this drug business. What


l 2 could you have expected from us, from this Court, when you

3 planned how to smuggle vast quantities of drugs into this

4 country by the use of people who had diplomatic immunity,

5 when you funnel money in and out through foreign secret

6 numbered bank accounts? What could you have expected from

7 us, from me, from somebody who sat here like me? Is it

0 enough in that moment in the Court to say, "It's the worst

9 day of my life," and cry? I wish it were.

10 As a human being I would like to forgive you.

11 But I cannot sit here as just a human being feeling sorry;

12 me for you, one person to another. As I sit up here and

13 wear this robe in this place I represent the community in

14 which we all live. A community which has the right to

15 expect that when people commit the kinds of crimes which you

16 have committed, which touch the lives, as they do, of all of

17 us, that our response here on behalf of everyone will be of

18 the utmost seriousness and gravity.

19 It is not easy for me to look you in the face

20 and send you away for the kind of time which I am going to

21 send you away for. But I would not be doing what I think

22 our community has an absolute right to expect. Not as a

23 hounding mob, but as a simple matter of justice. It is for

24 those reasons, not to teach you, not even to deter others,

25 for -- I don't know. I think a lot of people simply do it

because you deserve it.

7 authorized representative for imprisonment for a term of 15

8 years, to be followed by a special parole term of five

Re: Appraisal for Fair Market Value: 3.629 Acre Parcel in the
Town of Southampton
Dear Inspector Worsley:
In accordance with your request of June 29, 1984, I have
inspected and analyzed the above captioned property, its
environs and all pertinent data for the purpose of appraising
the Fair Market Value estimate of the property for the United
States Government to sell off or auction.
The property is appraised in "fee simple", i.e., subject to
the limitation of eminent domain, escheat, police power and
taxation.
In my opinion, the above captioned property has an estimated
fair market value as of J~ly 3j,1984 of $110,000.
Respectfully yours,

.J~ !-I -:;/u~

ANALYSIS OF HIGHEST AND BEST USE


Highest and best use is defined as that which at the time of
appraisal is most likely to produce the greatest net return over a

permitted by zoning ordinances or private restrictions. An imper~
tant aspect in estimating a property's highest and best use is
determining the supply and demand for the site's use within the
foreseeable future.

Re: A~praisal for Fair Market Value: House and 2.547 Acres in
the Town of Southampton
Dear Inspector Worsley:
In accordance with your request of June 29, 1984, I have
inspected and analyzed the above captioned property, its en~~
virons and all pertinent data for the purpose of appraising
the Fair Market Value estimate of the property for the United
States Government to sell in an open market or to auction off.
The property is appraised in "fee simple", i.e., subject to the
limitations of eminent domain, escheat, police power and tax-
ation.
It was very difficult to find correct comparables for this
house because the subject area is just starting to be built up
and therefore all construction is new and substantially higher
than the value of this property.
In my opinion, the above captioned property has an estimated
fair market value as of July 31, 1984 of $2l0,000.
Respectfully yours, /,(

PROPERTY AND NEIGHBORHOOD DATA


The subject site is located on the westerly side of Little
Noyac Path. The property is within 2½ miles of the Village of
Watermill and 3 miles to the Village of Bridgehampton. The subject
property has a convenience of location and a favorable exposure.
Favorable exposure is defined as havigg aesthetic satisfaction

approximately 155 physicians are located in the Town, with all
specialties represented.
Paae 4
PROPERTY ANALYSIS
The subject site consists of 2.547 acres plus improvements
(house) on site. Improved property is fully described as to
boundaries in the Legal Description section of this Report.
The subject site raises rapidly from road grades. The topo-
graphy of the entire area is hilly, and is entirely treed and
shrubbed with the exception of a winding driveway_leading to a
2 story wood frame house. The total square feet of land is 101,880
square feet. The elevation Of the property is high eneugh~to have
distant water views of Mecox Bay and the Atlantic Ocean from the
second floor of the house. The house is a 2½ story wood frame
built approximately 10 years ago. It is an A-frame house structure
consisting of large living room/dining room, kitchen, 4 bedroom,
and 3 full baths. The kitchen has all the normal appliances
(Dishwasher, electric stove_and~rafrigerator, there is a washer
and dryer in the basement/garage.) The basement is a block found~:
ation with a 1½ car garage as part of it. One of the bedrooms and
baths with a shower is also in the gasement. Electrical service
is a 200 amp service and looks to be in good condition. Ihe
heating system is a 2 zone Utica bil hot water heater_with a 550
gallon oil tank buried outside. In every room in the house, there
is sufficieht clos~t and storage space. The roof is asbestos
shingles and looks to be in fair condition. Estimate life of the
roof is 2 to 3 years, depending on weather conditions. There is
a 20 x 40 heated inground vjnyl pool. The pool looks to be in
good shape. There is approximately 1,200 square feet of decking
around the pool. There is also a front deck with the only access
through the house. It is approximately 300 square feet. Deck
materials are 2 x 4 cedar planks. Overall conditions of the house
is fair. It needs to be totally painted_inside. All damages to
Page 5
PROPERTY ANALYSIS (CONT'D)
the walls have to be repaired. All plumbing and wiring has
to be put in good working condition. The roof will have to be
replaced in 2-3 years. All decks to be stained and the rotten
boards to be replaced. The pool filter will have to be replaced.
There also looks to be 3 windows in the house that needs to be
fixed. In my opinion, $15,000 should cover repairs for the whole
house, except if there is plumbigg, wiring and~structural damage.
Landscaping is adequate since subject property is treed. The
driveway needs to be done, but that money would be included in
approximate quote given.
No mineral deposits having commercial value are known to exist
at the site or in the general area. There are no known deed
restrictions on record which would affect the subject property.

ZONING
The subject property is zoned CR200 by the Town of Southampton
CR200 Zone is being used for single family residential use with a
minimum lot size of 200,000 square feet. This property is pre-
existing so present zoning does not effect salability of the
property. The property is in the water catcbrnent area.

ANALYSIS OF HIGHEST AND BEST USE


Highest and best use is defined as that which at the time of
appraisal is most likely to produce the greatest net return over a
given period of time. It is usually the fullest use of the land
permitted by zoning ordinances or private restrictions. An impor-
tant aspect in estimating a property•s highest and best use is
determining the supply and demand for the site 1 s use within the
foreseeable future.
In my opinion, the highest and best use of the subject
property at this time is for a single family dwelling.

Page 7
HOUSE VALUE CONCLUSIONS
The subject property contains an improved single family._
dwelling on a 2.547 acre parcel. An extensive search was made
for similiar single family dwelling with a 2 mile radias of
su9ject property. The 8ppraiser has compared the subject
property with the sales available in the Town of Southampton.
Having few house sales available in this specific area, comparable
sales were adjusted.
