In a bid to avoid prison time, Faraday Hosseinipour has thrown her brother-in-law under the bus.
As a top promoter of the Infinity2Global Ponzi scheme, Hosseinipour was
convicted by a jury
in September 2022. Hosseinipour was
sentenced to two and a half years in prison
in January 2023.
In addition to being her brother-in-law, Wayne Manning was Hosseinipour’s attorney through to sentencing.
Hosseinipour (right) appealed her sentence but was denied in June 2025.
What Hosseinipour did secure though was
reexamination of her motion for a new trial
.
To that end, Hosseinipour claims Manning “was ineffective both in the plea-bargaining process and at trial.”
In an appeal filing, Hosseinipour’s replacement attorney went so far as to claim Manning’s representation “had devastating consequences”.
Manning was continuously inept pretrial and throughout the trial and left Hosseinipour defenseless.
Manning’s representation was worse than having no lawyer at all and severely prejudiced her.
The argument put forth is basically, had Hosseinipour been properly briefed on the evidence against her and sentencing range, she’d have pled guilty.
From a DOJ response filed on September 23rd;
At Hosseinipour’s sentencing, her new counsel argued that had Hosseinipour “been properly apprised of the weight of the evidence, if she had been properly apprised of the potential outrageous guideline calculations, mitigating/aggravating roles, I am nearly certain that she would have availed herself of the exact same offer that was made to Mr. Anzalone.”
At the time the court stated;
The notion that she didn’t know what was going on gets zero traction.
The DOJ now finds itself having to re-argue this point again.
Manning … did not impede negotiations. He discussed the case with the prosecutor and obtained a draft plea agreement (a starting point for discussions).
He set up a proffer session. After considering—at length—her options, and discussing the case with Manning and the prosecutor, Hosseinipour “explained to Manning that [she] did not want to plead guilty to a felony [she] did not believe [she] had committed.”
Here, after being fully informed of her options and the potential consequences, the person who impeded the negotiations was Hosseinipour herself.
Even after seeing all the evidence at trial, Hosseinipour maintained her innocence and showed no willingness to accept responsibility.
Indeed, despite stealing over $800,000 through Infinity2Global, Hosseinpour maintains she is a victim.
In sentencing Hosseinipour to 30 months, this Court stated: I hear you saying that you really don’t accept responsibility. You have—you portray yourself as a victim, which I don’t accept.
I do believe you knew you were getting a bunch of money and that there was something rotten about it. That’s what I do believe.
Hosseinipour previously represented to the court that
her prosecution amounted to racial profiling
.
The DOJ concludes;
Hosseinipour again seeks to portra
