Trial Date Hearing, New DOJ Document, New Republic Story on Vennes

Heard there was a hearing today before Judge Kyle, According to my sources (I wasn't there) the trial date is more certain - 2/6/12 (I will verify the date today).

UPDATE: Verified - Looks the trial date will be moved to May 14, 2012.

On Friday, the government entered a Bill of Particulars with more info regarding Fry's alleged lies to the SEC.

Also, Mariah Blake has an article about Petters and Vennes in the New Republic (subscription only).

NOTE: Much of the material in Blake's article will be familiar to readers of Ripple in Stillwater and this blog. Sadly, Blake does not attribute the source of her research which has already led one person on Twitter to think the saga of Tom Petters, Frank Vennes, et al is "untold" (and overstate the cost).

UPDATE: More about TNR's flawed article at Dump Bachmann.
