F.B.I. Botched Evidence Collection in Fraud Case, Judge Rules
A federal judge ruled that federal agents mishandled evidence searches in the securities fraud case against Benjamin Wey, a New York financier.The headline is intentionally misleading.
The story is about "fishing expeditions" in finance prosecutions.
"The sweeping suppression order by Judge Nathan, however, sheds light on the sometimes aggressive tactics law enforcement officials use in raids and searches — especially in securities fraud cases. Some of those tactics already were under attack in a pending lawsuit filed two years ago by a former hedge fund manager."
"Mr. Ganek’s legal challenge has attracted some support from the criminal defense bar.
The
National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers filed a friend of the
court brief with the United States Court of Appeals for the Second
Circuit in November in support of Judge Pauley’s ruling. In the brief,
the lawyers’ group said “misconduct by prosecutors and law enforcement
officers is far too common.”"
Probable cause must be better examined.

He Built Roads. He Oversaw Mines. He Shrank the Deficit. He Was Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
As Rüdiger Safranski’s “Goethe: Life as a Work of Art” reveals, when the prolific writer wasn’t producing manuscripts, he was applying his talents to the municipal good.I have avoided Goethe since I became aware of him half a century ago.
Michael Hofmann encourages me to continue to avoid the life and work of Goethe.
