    UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

    DISTRICT OF CONNECTICUT

    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA : CASE NO.: 3:10 CR 237 (MRK)

    :v. :

    :GREGORY P. LOLES : July 25, 2011

    GOVERNMENTS REPLY MEMORANDUM TO DEFENDANTS MOTION

    FOR REVIEW AND MODIFICATION OF ORDER OF DETENTION

    Pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Sections 3142(e) and (f), and 3143, the

    Government hereby requests that the defendant continue to be detained prior to trial. However,

    the Government submits that the defendant should receive appropriate and adequate medical care

    while in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons and/or the United States Marshal and his designee.

    I. ELIGIBILITY OF CASE

    This case is eligible for pretrial detention and pre-sentence detention because this Court

    simply can not find by clear and convincing evidence that the defendant is not likely to flee or

    pose a danger to the financial safety of the community if released pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 3142.

    See 18 U.S.C. 3143.

    The defendant in this case poses a serious risk that he will flee. The evidence gathered

    by the Government in this case has established that the defendant has, in the past, had access to a

    tremendous amount of money from abroad, more specifically over $14 million from an entity

    located in Greece. The defendant speaks a foreign language (Greek), has conducted business

    abroad and in fact a number of witnesses have indicated that he has done so. The defendant has

    traveled overseas extensively, has relatives in Greece, and even has an ownership stake in an

    apartment in Greece. Extraditing the defendant from Greece may prove to be difficult given the

    2/50

    fact that the counts to which he is expected to enter a plea of guilty include securities fraud and

    money laundering.

    II. REASON FOR DETENTION

    The court should detain defendant because there are currently no conditions of release

    which will reasonably assure the defendants appearance as required pursuant to the Bail Reform

    Act and because the defendant can not establish by clear and convincing evidence that he is not

    likely to flee or pose a danger to the financial safety of the community if released. See 18 U.S.C.

    3143.

    III. VIOLATIONS AND PENALTIES

    The defendant was charged in a 32-count indictment with violations of mail fraud in

    violation of 18 U.S.C. 1341; wire fraud in violation of Title 18 U.S.C. 1343; securities fraud

    in violation of violation of Title 15 U.S.C. 78j(b) and 78ff and Title 17 Code of Federal

    Regulations Section 240.10b-5; and money laundering, in violation of Title 18 U.S.C. 1957

    and 1956(a)(1)(B). The defendant has agreed to plead guilty to four counts of the thirty-two

    counts charged in the Indictment. Specifically, the defendant has agreed to plead guilty to one

    count of mail fraud, one count of wire fraud, one count of securities fraud, and one count of

    money laundering.

    As alleged in the Indictment, the defendant, knowingly and willfully devised and

    intended to devise a scheme and artifice to defraud and to obtain money and property by means

    of false and fraudulent pretenses representations and promises. In the executing scheme to

    defraud he used the mails, interstate wires, sold fraudulent securities, and laundering the

    proceeds to conceal and disguise the source and ownership of the funds.

    3/50

    Defendant resided in Connecticut and owned and operated Apeiron Capital Management,

    Inc. (Apeiron Capital). The defendant controlled bank accounts at certain financial institutions

    including among others, accounts at Citibank in the names of Apeiron Capital, Knightsbridge

    Holdings, Farnbacher Loles, Farnbacher Loles Motorsports, Farnbacher Loles Racing, and

    Farnbacher Loles Street Performance.

    Apeiron Capital was an investment adviser and broker dealer registered with the U.S.

    Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) from 1995 through 1998, at which point the

    registrations were cancelled. The defendant continued to operate Apeiron as an unregistered

    investment adviser and falsely represented Apeiron to be a registered investment management

    firm. Apeiron was not registered as an investment company, investment adviser, broker dealer,

    or in any other capacity with the SEC, with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority

    (FINRA) or its predecessor entity the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD),

    and it was not licensed by the State of Connecticut.

    The defendant was the majority owner and managing member of Farnbacher Loles Motor

    Sports, Farnbacher Loles Racing, Farnbacher Loles Street Performance, and various other

    Farnbacher Loles businesses (collectively Farnbacher Loles). Farnbacher Loles, with its

    principal place of business in Danbury, Connecticut, was engaged in the business of professional

    race team operations and servicing high-performance automobiles. Farnbacher Loles managed,

    operated, and competed in various automobile races and high performance motor-sports events

    held throughout North America and elsewhere, and provided service and maintenance for

    customers who owned high-end performance automobiles.

    The defendant operated as an unregistered investment adviser by, among other ways,

    falsely and fraudulently representing himself to be a registered investment adviser and

    representing Apeiron to be a registered investment management firm.

    The defendant falsely represented to numerous victim-investors, including individuals

    who were his friends and were parishioners of a Church in Orange, Connecticut (the Church or

    S.B.C.) that he would act as their investment adviser and invest their funds through Apeiron in

    various securities including in what he described as Arbitrage Bonds. The defendant falsely

    represented to victim-investors that he would invest their funds in Arbitrage Bonds which would

    purportedly pay a safe and steady return. In truth and in fact, the Arbitrage Bonds did not exist.

    The defendant was selected to serve on the board of the Churchs Endowment Fund, and

    falsely represented that he would use his knowledge and expertise as an investment adviser to

    manage the Churchs investment funds, including the Endowment Fund and the Building Fund

    by investing in, among other things, the above-described Arbitrage Bonds.

    The defendant falsely represented to the victim-investors, including the Churchs

    Endowment Fund Board and other members of the Church, that he could achieve and was

    achieving a consistent and positive return on the investment funds, including through his

    investment in the Arbitrage Bonds.

    The defendant solicited investments from investors he met through the Church and others

    he met through his Farnbacher Loles racing business, and made false and fraudulent

    representations to victim-investors including, among other things, that:

    a. He had invested the Churchs Endowment Fund in Arbitrage Bonds;

    b. He worked with and had relationships with brokers from major investmentfirms, known to the Grand Jury, who invested funds for him;

    4

    Case 3:10-cr-00237-MRK Document 39 Filed 07/25/11 Page 4 of 18

  • 8/6/2019 Motion to Release 2 - Loles

    5/50

    c. He managed approximately $240 million that was comprised in part ofmoney from Greek shipping companies and his wifes family money; and

    d. He was a fund manager for five or six wealthy Greek families.

    The defendant took investors funds based on false and fraudulent pretenses, including

    funds from the Churchs Endowment Fund and Building Fund, as well as individual victim-

    investors funds that had previously been invested in IRAs, 401(k)s, and represented the

    proceeds of life insurance payments.

    The defendant falsely represented to certain other investors that he would invest their

    money in Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) that were scheduled to occur in the near future and

    into which he had the opportunity to invest.

    The defendant entered into investment contracts and falsely represented to clients of

    Farnbacher Loles that, in exchange for an advance of funds, he would pay them an interest rate

    on their funds and provide them collateral (i.e., a secured interest) in the form of a bill of sale

    with buyback option for a sport racing automoblie, when as he well knew, the promise of

    collateral was fraudulent because he had made the same representations to others and the

    collateral was already encumbered.

    The defendant caused numerous victim-investors to invest more than $10 million with

    him and Apeiron. The defendant failed to invest the money as represented, and instead diverted

    investors funds for his own personal use and benefit, including to pay personal expenses such as

    credit card bills, and to distribute large amounts of the funds to Farnbacher Loles.

    In order to create the appearance of legitimacy, the defendant provided investors

    documents including fraudulent account statements that contained false and fraudulent

    5

    Case 3:10-cr-00237-MRK Document 39 Filed 07/25/11 Page 5 of 18

  • 8/6/2019 Motion to Release 2 - Loles

    6/50

    representations, including among others, false transactions, false prices for the fictitious

    securities, and false balances.

    The defendant sought to lull investors into believing that their investment funds had been

    invested as represented and prevented and forestalled the discovery of the true use of investors

    funds by, among other ways, issuing periodic payments to the investors purportedly representing

    interest on their investments or partial return of capital, when in truth and in fact, there were no

    actual investments, and the defendant used portions of other victim-investors funds to make

    such payments.

    The defendant took victim-investor funds and transfer them to Farnbacher Loles accounts

    to conceal the true source of funds, and similarly would and did transfer funds to an account he

    controlled in the name of Knightsbridge Holdings to disguise the nature and source of the funds

    and to make it appear that checks drawn on the Knightsbridge Holding account were actually

    proceeds from the Arbitrage Bonds.

    The statutory maximum penalty for each count to which the defendant has agreed to

    plead guilty is twenty (20) years and a fine, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 3571(d) of twice the gross

    gain or loss, which is currently estimated as high as approximately $17 million.1

    The Government calculates defendants possible sentencing range, using the 2010

    version of the United States Sentencing Guidelines, to roughly a level 30. This calculation is

    only an estimate for the benefit of the Court to determine his possible risk of flight and presumes

    the sentencing court would find each of the below listed specific offense characteristics and role

    1 The Government currently estimates the loss to the victims to be approximately$8.7 million.

    7/50

    in the offense enhancements to be applicable, while noting additional factors may also be

    relevant.

    Specifically, the defendant's base offense level under U.S.S.G. 2B1.1 is 7. The offense

    level should be increased by 20 based on a loss between $7,000,000 and $20,000,000 pursuant to

    U.S.S.G. 2B1.1(b)(1)(K). The offense level could further be increased by 2 levels pursuant to

    U.S.S.G. 2B1.1(b)(2)(A) for 10 or more victims. The offense level could also be increased by

    2 levels because the defendant represented himself to be working on behalf of a religious

    organization 2B1.1(b)(8), the offense level could also be increased by 2 levels because the

    defendant abused a position of public or private trust pursuant to U.S.S.G. 3B1.3. This would

    place the defendant in a sentencing range of 97 - 121 months. Regardless of the eventual

    Guidelines determination the defendant is facing a significant amount of time. This factor

    weighs heavily in support of detention.

    IV. LEGAL DISCUSSION AND BASIS FOR DETENTION

    Under 18 U.S.C. 3143(a)(1), a court shall order that a person who has been found

    guilty of an offense and who is awaiting imposition or execution of sentence . . . be detained,

    unless the judge finds by clear and convincing evidence that the person is not likely to flee or

    pose a danger to the community (emphasis added). In United States v. Abuhamra, 389 F.3d

    309, 320 (2d Cir. 2004), the Second Circuit held that 3143 creates a presumption in favor of

    detention. The court stated:

    [W]e are mindful that Congress has itself weighted the procedural balance quitedecidedly in favor of the government. As already noted, 18 U.S.C. 3143(a)(1)creates apresumption in favor of detention; it places the burden on the defendanttodefeat that presumption; and it requires the defendant to carry that burden by clearand convincing evidence, not by a mere preponderance. Only if a defendant clearsthese high procedural hurdles is he entitled to release pending sentencing.

    8/50

    389 F.3d at 320 (emphases added). The Second Circuit explained that to secure release on bail

    after a guilty verdict, a defendant must rebut this presumption with clear and convincing

    evidence that he is not a risk of flight or a danger to any person or the community. Id. at 319.

    The Bail Reform Act of 1984 provides that a court should order a defendant detained if

    no conditions or combination of conditions will reasonably assure the appearance of the person

    as required. 18 U.S.C. 3142(e). Among the factors that a district court must take into account

    in conducting this inquiry are: (i) the nature and circumstances of the offense charged, 18

    U.S.C. 3142(g)(1); (ii) the weight of the evidence against the person, 18 U.S.C.

    3142(g)(2); (iii) the history and characteristics of the person, 18 U.S.C. 3142(g)(3); and (iv)

    the nature and seriousness of the danger to any person or community that would be posed by the

    persons release. 18 U.S.C. 3142(g)(4). Included in the history and characteristics of a

    person are, inter alia, his character, family ties, employment, financial resources, length of

    residence in the community, community ties, past conduct, and record concerning appearance at

    court proceedings. 18 U.S.C. 3142(g)(3)(A). See United States v. Hollender, 162 F. Supp.2d

    261, 264 (S.D.N.Y. 2001) (detaining defendant on the basis of risk of flight where defendant had

    been indicted of over 30 counts of fraud and faced a total of 121-151 months of imprisonment).

    A. The Nature and Circumstances of the Crimes Charged

    The defendant is a U.S. citizen who poses a serious risk of flight and for which there are

    no conditions of release which will reasonably assure his appearance as required. Based on the

    nature and circumstances of the crimes charged, the defendant should be detained.

  • 8/6/2019 Motion to Release 2 - Loles

    9/50

    1. The Defendant has had Access to a Tremendous Amount of Cash

    The defendant has demonstrated the ability to acquire tremendous amounts of cash in

    short periods of time from both domestic and foreign contacts. His ability to raise money

    domestically is reflected in the crimes charged. However, as set forth in the attachment, the

    defendant has also received deposits totaling over $14 million dollars from abroad. Specifically

    from a Panamanian company that was created by a friend of the defendant who is believed to

    have lived in Greece prior to his passing away and then he continued to receive wire transfers

    from the individuals son. (Exhibits A & B). His foreign contact is believed to have created an

    entity in the Channel Islands, which engaged in importation of certain medical devices. Cash

    was sent to the defendant where it was parked to avoid detection. Loles used this money to

    further the Ponzi scheme and to support his car racing business. Clearly the defendant is an

    individual who can procure significant amounts of money from his foreign associates. Thus, he

    potentially has access to funds he can use to support himself, thereby rendering him a significant

    flight risk. See Hollender, 162 F. Supp.2d at 264. This factor alone is sufficient to detain the

    defendant.

    B. The Weight of the Evidence is Substantial as is the Potential Punishment

    The Government asserts that the weight of the evidence against the defendant is

    overwhelming as demonstrated by his anticipated guilty. The Government has collected

    documents and witness statements proving that the defendant has made multiple misstatements

    to numerous investors. These misstatements are repeated in the literature distributed by the

    defendant. In short, the Governments case is strong and thus, the overwhelming amount of

    evidence militates strongly in favor of detention. Moreover, the fact that the defendant lied to

    9

    Case 3:10-cr-00237-MRK Document 39 Filed 07/25/11 Page 9 of 18

  • 8/6/2019 Motion to Release 2 - Loles

    10/50

    his friends and colleagues in executing the fraud militates heavily in favor of detention as he may

    well lie to the Court to secure an opportunity to flee.

    Furthermore, the potential punishment facing the defendant is also a significant factor to

    consider. As courts in this circuit have held, the severity of the punishment facing the defendant

    is a relevant factor which bears upon the risk of flight. See United States v. Davidson, No. 92-

    CR-35, 1992 WL 144641, at *6 (N.D.N.Y. June 18, 1992). Here the defendant faces not only a

    significant statutory maximum but also under the Sentencing Guidelines, the defendant could

    face a sentencing range of 97-121 months or more in prison and a fine in the millions of dollars.

    This factor also weighs in support of detention.

    C. Personal History and Characteristics

    The defendant ties to the community are slight. He is divorced and his three grown

    children live outside Connecticut. Due to the nature of his offenses, he has, for all intents and

    purposes, cut all significant ties, and burned all bridges with the members of his community.

    Both his religious community and his business contacts were victimized by his crimes. He

    simply has no reason to stay in Connecticut or even the United States.

    To the contrary, witnesses have indicated that he has extended family in Greece. His

    step-mother owns a duel apartment building in Greece (two adjacent apartments) such that when

    she dies, Loles will accept responsibility and ownership of the apartment. Furthermore, a review

    of defendants travel has revealed that the defendant has had extensive foreign travel, including

    the following: Malta (1990), Italy (1988, 1991), France (1987), The United Kingdom (1990,

    1998, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2007), Spain (2001), The Dominican Republic (2001, 2008),

    Greece (1998, 2000, 2008), Germany (2001, 2004, 2008). (Exhibit C).

    10

    Case 3:10-cr-00237-MRK Document 39 Filed 07/25/11 Page 10 of 18

  • 8/6/2019 Motion to Release 2 - Loles

    11/50

    Additionally, the circumstances of the crime occurring over an extended period of time

    reflect upon the characteristics of the person. This is not a one time mistake, or a momentary

    lapse of judgment. This crime was perpetrated over years and years. The defendant took money

    from friends, widows, his parish priest, and the church itself. Moreover, he did not use the

    money in an attempt to help others or to make ends meet. In contrast, he used the funds to

    support a race car hobby in which he enjoyed racing sport racing vehicles (Porsches) and

    traveling around the country and the world going to races. Victims investment funds were

    diverted to cover thousands of dollars personal and business of credit card bills. In short, his

    personal characteristics would militate in favor of detention.

    D. Danger to the Community

    Based on the significant evidence the Government has gathered in this matter, it is

    obvious that the defendant has been engaged in illegal conduct for a significant length of time.

    Were the defendant to be released on conditions, there is a significant likelihood that his illegal

    conduct would continue; at a minimum in order for the defendant to support himself by spending

    the fraudulently obtained proceeds. This illegal conduct about which the Government is

    concerned, includes the continued mail fraud, wire fraud and money laundering in violation of

    Title 18 U.S.C. Sections 1341, 1343, and 1956. Thus, this defendant poses a real economic

    threat to the community.

    The legislative history of the Bail Reform Act of 1984 makes clear that Congress

    intended that the safety of any other person or the community language in Section 3142 was

    expected to be given a broad construction. See S. Rep. No. 225, 98th Cong., 1st Sess. 12 (1983),

    reprinted in 1984 U.S.C.C.A.N. 3182, 3195 (The reference to safety of any other person is

    11

    Case 3:10-cr-00237-MRK Document 39 Filed 07/25/11 Page 11 of 18

  • 8/6/2019 Motion to Release 2 - Loles

    12/50

    intended to cover the situation in which the safety of a particular identifiable individual, perhaps

    a victim or witness, is of concern, while the language referring to the safety of the community

    refers to the danger that the defendant might engage in criminal activity to the detriment of the

    community. The Committee intends that the concern about safety be given a broader

    construction than merely danger of harm involving physical violence.) (emphasis added). This

    broad construction is equally applicable in the post conviction pre-sentencing phase as well.

    Courts have appropriately construed the statute to find that protection of the community from

    economic harm is a valid objective of bail conditions. See United States v. Schenberger, 498 F.

    Supp. 2d 738, 742 (D.N.J. 2007) (holding that [a] danger to the community does not only

    include physical harm or violent behavior and citing the Senate Committee Report language

    reproduced above); United States v. Persaud, No. 05 Cr. 368, 2007 WL 1074906, at *1

    (N.D.N.Y. Apr. 5, 2007) (concurring with the Magistrate Judge that economic harm qualifies as

    a danger within the contemplation of the Bail Reform Act); United States v. LeClercq, No. 07-

    80050-cr, 2007 WL 4365601, at *4 (S.D. Fla. Dec. 13, 2007) (finding that a large bond was

    necessary to, among other things, protect the community from additional economic harm);

    United States v. Gentry, 455 F. Supp. 2d 1018, 1032 (D. Ariz. 2006) (in a fraud and money

    laundering case, in determining whether pretrial detention was appropriate, the court held that

    danger to the community under Section 3142(g) may be assessed in terms other than the use of

    force or violence ... [including] economic danger to the community).

    It is well settled that the principle that economic harm may be considered as relevant in

    considering possible danger to the community in the post-conviction context pursuant to 18

    U.S.C. 3143. See United States v. Reynolds, 956 F.2d 192, 193 (9th Cir. 1992)

    12

    Case 3:10-cr-00237-MRK Document 39 Filed 07/25/11 Page 12 of 18

  • 8/6/2019 Motion to Release 2 - Loles

    13/50

    (post-conviction for mail fraud and witness tampering, the court held that danger may, at least

    in some cases, encompass pecuniary or economic harm.); United States v. Provenzano, 605

    F.2d 85, 95 (3rd Cir. 1979) (in a pre-1984 Bail Reform Act case, post-conviction, the Court

    rejected an application for bail finding that danger to the community is not limited to harms

    involving violence). See, e.g., United States v. Zaragoza, No. Cr-08-0083 (PJH), 2008 WL

    686825, at * 3 (N.D.Cal. Mar. 11, 2008) (citing the principle regarding pecuniary or economic

    harm from Reynolds in the context of a pretrial detention analysis).

    Accordingly, economic danger to the community can provide a basis for detention under

    the Bail Reform Act. United States v. Delker, 757 F.2d 1390, 1393 (3d Cir. 1985); see also

    United States v. Reynolds, 956 F.2d 192, 193 (9th Cir. 1992); United States v. Vance, 851 F.2d

    166 (6th Cir. 1988) (discussing detention in a post-conviction context). As the court noted in

    United States v. Harris, The danger against which a court must safeguard encompasses much

    more than the risk of physical violence. . . . Often it is economic or pecuniary interests of a

    community rather than physical ones which are most susceptible to repeated danger by a released

    defendant. 920 F. Supp. 132, 133 (D. Nev. 1996). Cf. United States v. Masters, 730 F. Supp.

    686, 689 (W.D.N.C. 1990) (finding in a case of bail pending appeal Court believes it must also

    consider the danger of a person who continues to participate in possibly fraudulent schemes. ...)

    Most recently in the much publicized case ofUnited States v. Madoff, the Second Circuit

    articulated that economic danger to the community is a basis for detention under the Bail Reform

    Act. United States v. Madoff, 316 Fed. Appx. 58, 59-60 (2d. Cir. 2009). In enacting the Bail

    Reform Act, Congress was concerned not only with potential harm to victims or witnesses, but

    with the safety of the community as a whole. United States v. Dono, 275 Fed. Appx. 35, 38

    13

    Case 3:10-cr-00237-MRK Document 39 Filed 07/25/11 Page 13 of 18

  • 8/6/2019 Motion to Release 2 - Loles

    14/50

    (2d. Cir. 2008). As the court noted inMadoff, danger may, at least in some cases, encompass

    pecuniary or economic harm.Madoff, 316 Fed. Appx. at 60.

    Turning to this matter, the defendant appears to have no current legitimate source of

    income and no ties to the community, the Government contends that were he to be released on

    conditions, he could further deplete any remaining available assets of his victim-clients and this

    would be economic harm to the community. The Government further asserts that were the

    defendant to be released on conditions he could easily engage in some type of fraud and he did

    for nearly a decade.

    V. THE DEFENDANT CAN RECEIVE ADEQUATE MEDICAL CARE IN PRISON

    The defendant claims that his spinal disk problems and related pain have become

    exacerbated while he has been detained at the Wyatt Detention Center, and that he has received

    insufficient treatment for his condition. The Second Circuit has explained that exceptions to

    prison confinement will only occur in extreme situations. Sapia v. United States, 433 F.3d 212,

    219 (2d Cir. 2005). This rules out most illnesses and other physical conditions. For example,

    the Second Circuit has found that in the sentencing context a heart condition by itself is not

    necessarily a reason to depart downwardly under the Guidelines. United States v. Napoli, 179

    F.3d 1, 18 (2d Cir. 1999). In accord with other Circuits, the Second Circuit has found that a

    qualifying impairment is one that cannot be adequately cared for in the prison system. United

    States v. Garcia, 45 Fed. Appx. 21, 22-3; 2002 WL 1990335, 1 (2d Cir. 2002); see also United

    States v. Martinez, 207 F.3d 133, 139 (2d Cir. 2000); United States v. Persico, 164 F.3d 796, 806

    (2d Cir. 1999); United States v. Altman, 48 F.3d 96, 104 (2d Cir. 1995).

    Thus, the critical question is not whether defendant has some medical problems or

    difficulties, he no doubt should receive regular appropriate medical treatment and care the

    inquiry is rather, whether his medical problem can be treated in prison. See, e.g., United States

    v. Sherman, 53 F.3d 782, 788 (7th Cir. 1995) (citing footnote that quotes the Department of

    Justice, A Judicial Guide to the Bureau of Prisons -- There are virtually no medical problems

    that the Bureau's health care delivery system cannot respond to adequately, either within its

    institutions or on a contract consultant basis . . . .). Indeed, the Bureau of Prisons currently

    cares for thousands of inmates with such serious medical conditions as hypertension, carotid

    artery disease, arteriosclerotic heart disease, cardiac arrhythmia, and/or congestive heart failure.

    United States v. Cutler, 520 F. 3d 136, 172 (2d. Cir. 2008). The Cutlercourt, addressing

    allegations that a prisoner did not receive adequate treatment in prison for his heart condition,

    noted the lack of evidence for the claim, and added that if there is evidence to support the

    finding that the BOP is incapable of providing prompt response to inmates emergency medical

    needs, . . . it is in the best interest of a humane society that any such evidence be disclosed. Id.

    at 175. 2

    The Government asserts that defendant should get appropriate medical treatment.

    However, by virtue of the fact that pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 3143, the defendant must be detained,

    2 A decision to detain the defendant does not necessarily end the inquiry of whether thedefendants medical condition can be addressed while he is in custody. In the event the Bureauof Prisons concludes, after adequate investigation, that he cannot receive adequate medicalattention, or that his condition has deteriorated beyond the Bureau of Prisons expertise, theBureau of Prisons can remedy the situation. See, e.g., 18 U.S.C. 3582(c) (Bureau of Prisonsmay move the district court to reduce the term of imprisonment for extraordinary and compellingreasons, including needed medical care as set forth in 18 U.S.C. 3553(a)(2)(D)). Thus, adecision to remand the defendant at this time does not prevent a release from Wyatt to theMarshals custody for treatment in light of additional compelling medical information.

    16/50

    he does not now get the luxury of choosing a doctor, or team of doctors, to examine and treat his

    back. The Government is certainly not unsympathetic to his physical ailments and the

    corresponding pain he may be feeling and believes that the Bureau of Prisons, the United States

    Marshal or the Marshals designee (Wyatt) should make sure that he is cared for appropriately.

    However, with incarceration and detention come some realities regarding medical options and

    the reality is that he can be treated by the detention centers medical staff.

    In this regard, the defendant has completely failed to meet his burden of demonstrating

    that his physical condition cannot be adequately addressed by the Bureau of Prisons or the

    medical staff of the facility where he is currently housed. He simply cannot establish that his

    medical condition is an extreme situation warranting a release from custody. Nothing

    submitted at this point by the defendant establishes that he cannot receive adequate medical

    treatment at the current facility.

    Finally, the Government has not yet been able to determine to position of the United

    States Marshals Service with regard to this matter and respectfully suggests that it may be

    appropriate for the Court to consider the position of the United States Marshal for the District of

    Connecticut prior to granting any modification of the defendants current detention order.

    VI. CONCLUSION

    For the reasons set out above, the Government respectfully moves this Court to keep the

    defendant detained as there are no combination of conditions that could assure his appearance as

    required and there is no evidence that his medical needs cannot be met by the Bureau of Prisons

    or the facility at which he is currently held.
