US v. Guardala
Criminal Cause for Status Conference
Deft. David Guardala (in custody)
Looked something like this on the Court Calendar for Islip NY, courtroom 1040 today, where Senior Judge Thomas Platt presides.
Hey Guardala product fan, victims and Guardala search people.
Dave Guardala was in court again today, and all expectations were a plea, most likely of guilty, so I thought. Well, we heard no plea other than for more time by Dave Guardala himself. I was not in the court room but I did just receive a post/comment by someone who was. Just so this information is not buried on a comment page but very visible, I am posting it right here for you to read.

Greg,
Several of us regular visitors to Judge Platt’s courtroom this
morning witnessed Guardala ask for yet another delay in the proceedings. Even
his attorney looked bewildered at this decision. Owing to the acoustics of the
courtroom, it was difficult to hear what was being said up in the front. But we
could tell that the judge was not pleased, as he insisted that the proceedings
continue on Wednesday 4/16. DG will be expected to plead guilty or not guilty.
If not guilty, then a trial date will be set.
We’ll be there again.
In the meantime, I would urge everyone to write Judge Platt and briefly
outline their relationship with Guardala, the amount of money lost, including
opportunity cost, and personal hardships suffered as a result. Since we all cant
be in the courtroom, this kind of support may affect the judge’s decision to
sentence. Please make your writings polite, truthful, and to the point. The
judge is definitely a no-nonsense guy.
From my standpoint, if Guardala
has any assets stashed away in foreign countries and gets a short jail term, all
of this justice will be for naught if he is able to serve the time and get
released at a young enough age to enjoy OUR MONEY. We need to lobby the judge
either for restitution (which may be very difficult) or a very punitive
sentence.
My motto: Money, revenge, or justice, in that order.
We
already know we’ve got the justice. If we can’t get the money, he should rot in
Federal Prison for as long as the law will allow.
Regards,
Tim

So it looks like we are getting close to either sentencing or a trial. Stay tuned and thanks for those sending in what they have on the topic so we can keep any interested or affected individuals informed.
