Charges and Ongoing Trial
In May 2024, Anton and James Peraire-Bueno were arrested and charged with wire fraud conspiracy, wire fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
The government is represented by Danielle Kudla, Jerry Jia-Wei Fang, Benjamin Levander, and Ryan Nees of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York.
Anton is defended by Daniel Marx and William Fick of Fick & Marx LLP, while James is represented by Katherine Trefz, Daniel Shanahan, Patrick Looby, Ikenna Ugboaja, Joseph Bayerl of Williams & Connolly LLP, and Jonathan Bach of Shapiro Arato Bach LLP.
The trial continues Tuesday, promising more revelations from the high-voltage world where math prodigies, machines, and millions of dollars collide.
