On May 28th BitClub Network defendant Jobadiah “Joby” Sinclair Weeks filed a Motion for Appeal, Review, and Revocation of his detention order.
Weeks’ first
unsuccessfully attempted to bust of custody
back in January.
This was followed up by a
plea to President Trump
in April, citing previously rejected COVID-19 concerns. That too was denied.
Weeks’ May filing seeks to challenge the denial of his initial request for release.
The filing was sealed upon filing, and was only unsealed on June 30th.
Weeks’ fourty-eight page motion is presented as a rebuttal of the decisions that saw his release bid denied.
Issues addressed include Weeks’
access to offshore money;
“friendly relationship” with co-defendant Russ Medlin;
ownership of property in Mexico;
access to private flights;
proposed bond conditions;
jail conditions and
status as a flight risk.
Access to offshore money
Weeks asserts he does “not have access to fiat currency in foreign bank accounts”.
The Emirates NBD Bank account on which the magistrate’s decision relied had been closed months before the hearing, and another account had no funds.
In fact, the funds in the Emirates account were used to purchase a prop plane housed in the U.S. that Mr. Weeks has since sold.
Weeks is a big proponent of cryptocurrency, so naturally there’s concern he’s got a ton of money stashed away.
Evidence presented by the government showed $560 million flowing through a wallet tied to Weeks.
Weeks explains this away by claiming to be “a broker for Bitfury”.
In the ordinary course of that business, Mr. Weeks would accept large transfers of cryptocurrency into his bitcoin wallet as payment for the purchase of cryptocurrency mining equipment.
Mr. Weeks would then remit the cryptocurrency, less his brokering fee, to Bitfury.
The vast majority of funds for these sales that Mr. Weeks arranged between BitClub and Bitfury went to Bitfury; Mr. Weeks did not keep that money for himself.
One example he does provide reveals he earned $5 million on a $58 million dollar sale.
The total amount Weeks earned from over half a billion dollars flowing through his bitcoin wallet is not disclosed.
Weeks also contests the dollar amount of bitcoin that passed through his wallet, based on bitcoin’s fluctuating value.
Weeks’ personal relationship with Russ Medlin
At the time of filing, co-defendant and convicted pedophile Russ Medlin was still at large.
Medlin has since been arrested but his relationship with Weeks was a major contributing factor to his continued detainment.
Weeks asserts he “does not have a friendly relationship with” Medlin.
Their relationship soured two years ago, when Medlin became angry with Mr. Weeks over delays in the build-out of a data mining center in Montana, and Mr. Weeks was cheated out of a business opportunity.
Weeks claims he hasn’t spoken to Medlin since 2018.
Access to private flights
While promoting BitClub Network, Weeks got around with private flights provided by JetS
