New charges for Sotis (Add helium)and Emilie Voissem (Nexus Underwater)

[Cert1967]

Defendant Sotis is off to Mexico - Quintana Roo - to sell a condominium to pay for trial expenses.

The AUSA is purported to have no objections.

Wonder if his creditors will garnish the proceeds of the sale? Maybe a 'letter rogatory' would move the MX courts to act? When the money hits the USA?

DEFENDANT PETER SOTIS’ UNOPPOSED MOTION FOR LEAVE TO TRAVEL ABROAD

COMES NOW, the Defendant PETER SOTIS, by and through the undersigned attorney, and hereby submits this Unopposed Motion for Leave to Travel Abroad, and in support thereof states as follows:​

Of interest, Sotis is not represented by the public defender's office - as his co-defendant is.

Cost for a 7-day trial - D66, plus prep time, plus investigative costs - big bucks.

"9. Defendant Sotis has strong ties to South Florida and presents no risk of absconding should the Court grant the forgoing motion."

Right. Anyone taking bets?

I think we'd all sell everything we had to try to avoid or reduce time spent in a federal prison.

Going 'on the lam' in Mexico or further afield?

Some have done so - this guy for almost 40 years. Alleged to have knocked off a security company for ~7 million. Reported to have jetted off to Cuba after his alleged heist. The FBI seems to have lost interest. So, maybe ...

Peter, you may remember, is out on a 10% / 250k bond. Claudia Sotis is listed as the 'purchased by' on the BoA Cashier's Check for $25k and is signed off as the surety on the bond.

Peter bolts and she may be on the hook for the balance of the bond. Rough ride for the doc, who married Peter in 2015 - perhaps more than she bargained for?
