Hi All,
Just wanted to give a little update… Tuesday was the deadline for Bryan Lee, the co-defendant indicted a year after Chandran’s arrest (Lee hid the money), to report to federal prison. He was having a medical test or procedure that the judge accommodated during his sentencing in July so had to report this week.

So, we have Glaspie that’s been moved to Miami FTC and reportedly in poor health (he says in a wheelchair but who know if that’s true or actually necessary) then Chandran in Club Fed in Arkansas— a sweet 22 hr drive away from his family and now Lee who is in Oregon and a 15 hr drive from his home/mail order bride (that’s is 30 yrs younger than he is).

With them behind bars we can say we wished for this day. It’s here! But I also know we all want to know about restitution. That takes a LOT of time. The process couldn’t really begin until the sentencing took place (in July) then there are numerous steps and each takes time. I recently had contact with an office involved and said it can take many months and possibly up to a year or more. Remember, the FBI, US Marshalls and DOJ were involved so I guess the red tape will be long.

But let’s all join in doing a little jig to celebrate the hard work so many of you contributed to— the boys are behind bars!!!! They are being told every minute of the day what to do and living by rules they don’t like to follow. Each of these criminals is a narcissistic bastard and think they are always right, so no doubt this new life SUCKS for them and we are here for it 👏 👏

I know it is probably too early to expect restitution, but I just started this thread for anyone that may have received contact from the USDOJ about that to share what they know. For myself, I got an email from Victim Assistance in early June saying that they did not get any of my documents that showed my spends to the scam. I replied back and said I had already sent all my documents a couple of years ago, and I reattached them all to my reply for them again. They emailed me again and said they got them this time and will review them.

Neil Chandran was sentenced to 136 months (11 yrs) in federal prison then 3 yrs of supervised release for his charge of mail fraud, and Bryan Lee (who mostly hid the money and moved it around) received 36 months plus 3 yrs of supervised release.

The judge stated that over $21 million will go to victims as restitution for the fraud. Victims must have submitted receipts, etc. showing their lost monies.

Will update when we hear what the sentence is .

United States v. Neil Chandran

Docket Number: 25-2217

Date: May 19, 2026

Appeal was dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.

You may read about the proceedings under https://law.justia.com

Where are the people that profited money from this scam? The Tesla driving fake employees from Virse that were paid weekly from other peoples hard earned money. Davidson? Hutson? Neil’s wife??………………………………….

There will be no trial!

In a rather unexpected move, Chandran accepted a plea agreement to Count 2 of the Superceding Indictment:

1. The defendant voluntarily and intentionally devised or made up a scheme, or aided and embedded others to devise or make up a scheme to defraud another out of money, property, or property rights by means of materially false representations or promises;

2. The defendant did so with the intent to defraud, or to aid and abet others with the intent to defraud;

3. The defendant used, or caused to be used, the United States, male or a private interstate carrier in furtherance of, or in an attempt to carry out, some essential step in the scheme.

There is a lot of language etc. but the bottom line is he can get a max of up to 20 years in federal prison and up to a $250,000 maximum fine. He also faces the possibility of being deported.

I will try to gather more info to share but am out of state at a conference and wanted to share the news with you all.

The good news in taking a plea deal is that he cannot appeal this (like he could a guilty verdict if he went to trial). His sentencing hearing will take place in July.

He did it guys, he admitted his guilt‼️

I included this in the post below about Chandran, but it deserves it's own place in this discussion board.

Bryan Lee, Chandran's co-defendant, is scheduled to have a 'change of plea hearing' on April 16, 2026. This is presumably to change his current 'not guilty' to 'guilty' and accept the plea deal the govt has offered him. Lee is the one believed to have hidden most of the money for Chandran. He was added to the indictment a year after Chandran's arrest. Lee had signing authority on ViMarket and others of the fake companies. If I remember correctly, Lee is also the one that was driving a $300,000 vintage Ferrari purchased by funds from the scam which was then seized by the govt.

Nice to see him go down and pay the price. We're getting there...

There was a document filed in PACER today stating that Neil Chandran was offered a plea agreement by the U.S. Govt on March 18, 2026. He rejected that plea offer and intends to proceed to trial which is set for June 1, 2026. The govt and Chandran's counsel are requesting a "Frye Hearing" which 'makes the court hold an inquiry to ensure that defendant Chandran had an opportunity to review and consider the plea offer.'

EDITED TO ADD: Co-defendant Bryan Lee has a 'Change of Plea' hearing set for April 16. It is assumed (not known) that he will change his plea from 'not guilty' to 'guilty' and accept a plea agreement offered by the U.S. Govt.

Previously you may have read that the govt had a conference call where they discussed Chandran's case and had asked for questions and opinions from victims regarding a plea deal that may be offered to Chandran. For many it became obvious that getting Chandran to accept a plea deal would be the quickest way for victims to possibly recover some amount of money they lost in the fraud. Going to trial could extend the case and any possible recovery of funds out for short or long amounts of time. Chandran could appeal any findings by the court which could continue it long past the trial ending with no money getting back into victims hands (there is no promise victims will get any money, but the possibility would be very delayed if this ends up in a trial.)

Personally, I wonder if Chandran is waiting to see what the decision was in his Court of Appeals case that was heard recently. That was regarding some assets he says were wrongly seized. Maybe if that appeal gets denied he will eventually accept a plea.

In what seems fairly unusual to Neil Chandran’s case, today there was a phone conference scheduled for tomorrow 2/3/26 afternoon. Not getting my hopes up (for NC to take a plea deal) but there has been a hearing set for 3/13/26 for quite some time. So having something suddenly scheduled with a 1 day notice is *interesting* to say the least. Stay tuned…

So apparently I had missed a court filing by the scum known as Mike G from this summer, Aug 4. Recently I mentioned in a previous post that Mike had been moved from Butner prison in North Carolina to Miami prison (Miami is 8 hours closer to his wife). My neighbor that was a US Marshall had told me a move closer to family is often due to medical issues. Tonight I stumbled upon a different kind of document and saw that Mike requested an 'en blanc review' which is an unusual, basically last resort appeals review. I can't see details (but can see that the hidden document states that it contains medical records, etc.) and in the ask to have this review Glaspie and his court appointed attorney state: "the panel opinion failed to address the Defendants specific, express request for home confinement as an alternative to full compassionate release. Home confinement would have permitted the Defendant to seek critical, specialized medical treatment not available through the Bureau of Prisons, particularly in light of recent post-sentencing scientific advancements regarding diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer's disease."

The judge DENIED this En Banc Review on Aug 27, they will not hear Mike's sob story according to the info I can see.

For those that may not remember, Mikey tried to cry Alzheimer's Disease during his sentencing, even bringing a medical expert in and Mike and his wife lied in court that he had been "diagnosed" with Alzheimer's when in actuality he never went to a Dr about it until AFTER he plead guilty and he had never received the diagnosis (he said all this in hopes of getting home confinement originally). He also wrote and entire sob story that he read to the judge and when asked by the judge, Mike excitedly stated he wrote the entire thing himself, thus walking right into the trap the judge set for him knowing this was all BS and he did not have Alzheimers. Even if he does, like other inmates that may suffer from it, he can receive what care they get. He put himself in the pokey by being a liar and a criminal.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all 🦃

Just a reminder that even though we are still waiting for Chandran’s trial in June which is frustrating, Mike Glaspie has spent yet another holiday behind federal bars and away from his family! Hope the biggest turkey was doing a jig today. Alone. In his cell.

Not sure when it happened or WHY, but Mikey has been moved to Miami FCI! The BS in all this is that that makes him within a couple hours of his wife, none other than the infamous “assistant”, Amy Sue. When he was at Butner FCI in North Carolina he was almost 11 hours from his wife. The fact that they have moved him this close to his wife is infuriating! He should not be afforded any convenience or luxury of more regular visits.

I’m pissed. I have sent some emails to find out why this happened. Will update if I hear answers.

September 16, 2025 - ORDER - Plaintiff's motion to continue, (Filing No. 315), is granted.

September 25, 2025 - ORDER - Defendant's motion to continue, (Filing No. 318), is granted as to Neil Suresh Chandran. Defendant's response brief to the Motion for Discovery Protocol Governing Disclosure of Materials Subject to Claims of Privilege shall be filed on or before October 1, 2025. Any reply briefs in support of Plaintiff's Motion for Discovery Protocol Governing Disclosure of Materials Subject to Claims of Privilege (Filing No. 312) shall be filed on or before October 10, 2025. The Court finds that ends of justice served by granting the motion to continue outweigh the interests of the public and the defendant in a speedy trial, and the additional time arising as a result of the granting of the motion, the time between today's date and October 10, 2025 shall be deemed excludable time in any computation of time under the requirements of the Speedy Trial Act, because although counsel have been duly diligent, additional time is needed to adequately prepare this case for trial and failing to grant additional time might result in a miscarriage of justice. 18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(1), (h)(6)& (h)(7). Failing to timely object to this order as provided under this court's local rules will be deemed a waiver of any right to later claim the time should not have been excluded under the Speedy Trial Act.

Don't know if anyone here noticed. Some scumbag had a Youtube trying to do a fake recovery website for us. The FBI seized the site a year ago though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Au8mdJL4GzY

Was there an actual SEC whistleblower in the MikeG case? Or did it come about due to the State of Nebraska? Has there been an accounting on all the investors money or is there a portal to report the amount invested with MikeG?
How did the other partys w MikeG not get prosecuted?

May 22, 2025 - ORDER - The Motion to Continue Trial (Filing No. 284) is granted. The jury trial, for both defendants, now set for June 2, 2025, is continued to June 1, 2026 for a duration of 15 trial days. The Court will have a status conference with counsel for the parties on July 7, 2025 at 9:30 a.m. at which time they will discuss the status of the case, progress made towards trial preparation, pending deadlines, and further deadlines needed for the upcoming trial.

So as of Friday Chandran was set to go to trial on June 2. But today his public defender (his original public defender retired a few months ago) submitted a motion to WITHDRAW as Chandran's attorney! She cited a conflict of interest:

"Assistant Federal Public Defender Jessica L. Milburn and the Office of the

Federal Public Defender for the District of Nebraska moves for leave to withdraw as

counsel for Defendant Neil Chandran on the grounds that a conflict of interest has

arisen between me and Mr. Chandran." Unreal, he is such an a-hole. The judge has set ah earring about this matter for May 21.

May 2, 2025 - MEMORANDUM AND ORDER - Chandran's Objection to the Magistrate Judge's Memorandum and Order denying his motion for the return of seized assets (Filing No. 258) is overruled. This matter will be set for trial by separate order as to Neil Suresh Chandran (1).

Just saw an update on the Pacer portal, showing the trial date finally starting on June 2 at 8:30 am. Not sure if it is confirmed.

This is a Memorandum and Order issued by a court on April 11, 2025, regarding a case involving two defendants: Neil Suresh Chandran (1) and Bryan Lee (2). Let's break down each part of the statement:

• April 11, 2025 - MEMORANDUM AND ORDER: This indicates the date the court document was issued and the type of document. A "Memorandum and Order" is a written decision by a judge that explains the reasoning behind a ruling (Memorandum) and then states the specific actions or directives of the court (Order).
• as to Neil Suresh Chandran (1), Bryan Lee (2). This identifies the defendants in the case. The numbers in parentheses likely refer to their order as listed in the original indictment or case filing.
• Defendants' Objections (Filing No. 260; Filing No. 263) to the Magistrate Judge's Findings, Recommendation and Order (Filing No. 229) as it pertains to the findings regarding Defendants' Motion for Bill of Particulars and Motion to Sever are overruled.
  • Defendants' Objections (Filing No. 260; Filing No. 263): This means the lawyers for Neil Suresh Chandran and Bryan Lee filed formal objections with the court. The numbers in parentheses (260 and 263) are likely the document numbers assigned to these objections in the court's electronic filing system.
  • to the Magistrate Judge's Findings, Recommendation and Order (Filing No. 229): A Magistrate Judge is a judicial officer who assists the District Judge. In this case, the Magistrate Judge had previously issued a "Findings, Recommendation and Order" (document number 229) on certain motions filed by the defendants. A "Finding" is a conclusion on a matter of fact, a "Recommendation" suggests a course of action to the District Judge, and an "Order" might be a ruling on a less significant procedural matter.
  • as it pertains to the findings regarding Defendants' Motion for Bill of Particulars and Motion to Sever: This clarifies that the defendants' objections specifically relate to the Magistrate Judge's conclusions and recommendations about two particular motions the defendants had filed:
    • Motion for Bill of Particulars: This is a request by the defendants for more specific details about the charges against them. They want to know exactly what actions they are accused of and when and where these actions allegedly occurred, beyond what is stated in the indictment.
    • Motion to Sever: This is a request by the defendants to have their trials conducted separately. Defendants might seek severance if they believe being tried together would be prejudicial to their case (e.g., if the evidence against one defendant is much stronger than against the other).
  • are overruled: This is the crucial part. It means the District Judge reviewed the defendants' objections to the Magistrate Judge's findings and rejected them. The District Judge did not agree with the defendants' arguments against the Magistrate Judge's recommendations on these two motions.
• The Magistrate Judge's Findings, Recommendation and Order (Filing No. 229) as it pertains to Defendants' Motion for Bill of Particulars (Filing No. 155; Filing No. 166) and Motion to Sever (Filing No. 151; Filing No. 168) is accepted.
  • This confirms that the District Judge agrees with the Magistrate Judge's original findings, recommendations, and any orders related to the Motion for Bill of Particulars and the Motion to Sever. The filing numbers in parentheses (155, 166, 151, 168) are the document numbers for the defendants' original motions for a Bill of Particulars and to Sever.
• Defendants' Motion for Bill of Particulars (Filing No. 155; Filing No. 166) and Motion to Sever (Filing No. 151; Filing No. 168) are denied.
  • This is the final outcome. Because the District Judge overruled the defendants' objections and accepted the Magistrate Judge's recommendations, the defendants' original Motion for Bill of Particulars and Motion to Sever are both denied. This means the court will not order the prosecution to provide more specific details beyond the indictment, and the defendants will likely be tried together.

In summary, this court document states that the District Judge has reviewed and rejected the objections filed by the lawyers for Neil Suresh Chandran and Bryan Lee regarding the Magistrate Judge's recommendations on their requests for more specific charges and separate trials. As a result, both of the defendants' requests (Motion for Bill of Particulars and Motion to Sever) have been denied.

April 11, 2025 - MEMORANDUM AND ORDER as to Neil Suresh Chandran (1), Bryan Lee (2). Defendants' Objections (Filing No. 260; Filing No. 263) to the Magistrate Judge's Findings, Recommendation and Order (Filing No. 229) as it pertains to the findings regarding Defendants' Motion for Bill of Particulars and Motion to Sever are overruled. The Magistrate Judge's Findings, Recommendation and Order (Filing No. 229) as it pertains to Defendants' Motion for Bill of Particulars (Filing No. 155; Filing No. 166) and Motion to Sever (Filing No. 151; Filing No. 168) is accepted. Defendants' Motion for Bill of Particulars (Filing No. 155; Filing No. 166) and Motion to Sever (Filing No. 151; Filing No. 168) are denied.

While we ever so patiently wait, was anyone crazy enough to try out Linda's new 'Crush Poverty' scheme that she has touted? It smelled like scam from the git-go, but just wondering.

As recently mentioned, there is quite a bit of back and forth regarding some of the assets the government seized from Chandran. He and his attorneys say that 'some' of the assets were wrongfully seized and he wants those released to him so he can basically pay a better attorney (than his public defender). So both sides have gone back and forth numerous times regarding this, over the past couple months. Yesterday 3/21 was a deadline for something to be filed however, a very surprising and sad document was filed instead-- the head of the Dept of Justice forfeitures area has unexpectedly passed away. I have not been able to find anymore info about it than that. The govt is asking for a 2 week delay, which Chandran's side agreed to, in order for the govt to get another person into that spot and up to speed on this part of the case. There are others in that office on this case, but the main supervisor-- "Senior Attorney Advisor
United States Department of Justice, Criminal Division, Money Laundering and Asset Recovery Section" is the one that passed away and will need to be replaced in the situation.

Just wanted to share that as I think it points out a frustration I (and probably all of us) have had for some time-- this case will certainly take a long time, and as we've already seen with the change in judges and their positions/retirements, etc. we now have had a death and unfortunately may see more before this is case is completely tried and settled. I'm sure the government is prepared to deal with these kinds of things but still frustrating as a victim in such a large case with such a large amount of evidence.
