Breton Aurélien Michel remains incarcerated at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center in the South Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, for the time being.
The amount of the deposit deemed insufficient
On Tuesday, January 10, the 24-year-old young man, suspected of having orchestrated a $3 million cryptocurrency fraud, appeared before Judge Taryn A. Merkl, to plead for release on bail, through his lawyer, and in presence of a French-language interpreter.
The judge considered that the amount of bail offered was insufficient and returned Aurélien Michel to pre-trial detention.
