Hello Guardala Scam followers. The story continues again with another court date scheduled for June 6th. This is what I have -

The following transpired at Guardala's
court conference this morning before Judge Platt. Guardala's attorney
informed the judge that she needs more time before she can allow her
client to either plead guilty or proceed to trial.

She claims to need the time to have some documents that were found in
Guardala's luggage translated from German into English. It was also
announced in court that the government has recently identified
additional victims in this case by reviewing other documents found in
Guardala's luggage.

At least 5 victims were present in court today despite incredibly
inclement weather. I am impressed by the commitment that all of the
victims have shown throughout this matter. I hope that we will have a
definitive direction in which to go after the next court date; June 6, 2008.

Dave Guardala is a bad person and did very bad things to toooooo many people! SO, I was right in yesterday's post. We await another court date and my attempted, self imposed, reverse psychology did not work. Nothing today and another month to find out what these documents say and who these new victims are. Bad Dave!

MAY 9th, 2008 Dave Guardala in Court

My last post said "Waiting for the next Court date - May 9th" Well, it is officially May 9th on the east coast and the court calendar reads -

09:30 AM
Criminal Cause for Status Conference
USA V. Guardala
Deft. - David Guardala - in custody

I would have thought this was going to be the big day, but time and posts below would indicate this will be a day, just like all the other days Dave Guardala has been in court, but don't expect any real news. This has been going on for some time and continues again today. (Of course, since I said that, the sh*t will hit the fan with news

Any of you east coast guys that get to the court house, drop a line so we can find out what happened with the latest information that caused this last delay. I appreciate it! Being on the west coast, I really do appreciate you-all taking a minute to keep all of us up to date on the proceedings.

Thanks,

Dave Guardala News 2008

>As we wait for new evidence to the Guardala scam and fraud case, I have been getting lots of email and felt the need to do a quick update.

Today I received court documents, via email, covering the Guardala Indictment, Warrant for his arrest, unsealing of the court records once he was in custody, and records of the last date in court to this point.

The delay issued was very odd and left everyone a bit surprised. The notes from the court records add little to the answers other than better explaining the cause of the last delay. The notes read as follows -

Conference held. Parties request additional time to negotiate a plea agreement and new evidence was received from the defendant's German residence that both the Government and Defense Counsel wish to review. Order of excludable delay entered. Set status conference for 5/9/08 at 9:30am.

That's all I got other than more detail on the other victims which are not named, but will stay off the blog out of respect to their personal lives and business lives.

Today was another day in court for Dave Guardala. All thoughts were on a plea from Mr Guardala but thing did not go as expected.

The last post explained the judge did not seem real happy about the delays and today was going to be it. Even the court calendar suggested today would be different. From what I understand, Some issue over Guardala's belongings was viewed as new information that the prosecution needed time to assess. I have no idea what this is about. Another person used the term personal items.

This all being roughly hearsay, the real issue was another delay and no plea today.

Dave Guardala is now scheduled to be back in court on May 9th.

Pretty amazing how he can drag this out beyond any possible expectation.

So back to jail till the 9th. We will report any information we get.

If anyone can add anything to this much of the story, please post or email me.

Thanks for dropping in,

US v. Guardala

Criminal Cause for Status Conference

Deft. David Guardala (in custody)

Looked something like this on the Court Calendar for Islip NY, courtroom 1040 today, where Senior Judge Thomas Platt presides.

Hey Guardala product fan, victims and Guardala search people.

Dave Guardala was in court again today, and all expectations were a plea, most likely of guilty, so I thought. Well, we heard no plea other than for more time by Dave Guardala himself. I was not in the court room but I did just receive a post/comment by someone who was. Just so this information is not buried on a comment page but very visible, I am posting it right here for you to read.

Copy Paste from a Comment on the last post at Guardala.net_________________________________

A comment regarding "March 28th Court Date", an entry at Guardala - Amazing Sax Products - Dave Guardala - Bad Person, was written at 4/11/2008 12:31:49 PM.

Comment:

Greg,

Several of us regular visitors to Judge Platt’s courtroom this morning witnessed Guardala ask for yet another delay in the proceedings. Even his attorney looked bewildered at this decision. Owing to the acoustics of the courtroom, it was difficult to hear what was being said up in the front. But we could tell that the judge was not pleased, as he insisted that the proceedings continue on Wednesday 4/16. DG will be expected to plead guilty or not guilty. If not guilty, then a trial date will be set.
We’ll be there again.

In the meantime, I would urge everyone to write Judge Platt and briefly outline their relationship with Guardala, the amount of money lost, including opportunity cost, and personal hardships suffered as a result. Since we all cant be in the courtroom, this kind of support may affect the judge’s decision to sentence. Please make your writings polite, truthful, and to the point. The judge is definitely a no-nonsense guy.

From my standpoint, if Guardala has any assets stashed away in foreign countries and gets a short jail term, all of this justice will be for naught if he is able to serve the time and get released at a young enough age to enjoy OUR MONEY. We need to lobby the judge either for restitution (which may be very difficult) or a very punitive sentence.

My motto: Money, revenge, or justice, in that order.
We already know we’ve got the justice. If we can’t get the money, he should rot in Federal Prison for as long as the law will allow.

Regards,

Tim

Hon. Thomas C. Platt
United States District Court
Eastern District of New York
Long Island Courthouse
100 Federal Plaza
Central Islip, NY 11722

END_________________________________________________________

So it looks like we are getting close to either sentencing or a trial. Stay tuned and thanks for those sending in what they have on the topic so we can keep any interested or affected individuals informed.

Dave Guardala back in Court??

Well, it would appear that the court date for Dave Guardala did happen after all. I was told by email that Guardala would be in court on March 28th, but then heard from a friend that there was nothing posted on the court calendar for Guardala on the 28th.

Now, I just received email that a post on Sax On The Web states - "What has become of Dave Guardala? - Saw D.G. 3/28 in an "orange jumpsuit". Head was down most of the time. Next Court hearing is 4/11/08, 9:30AM Federal Court Building, Central Islip, N.Y. 10th Floor. Hon. Thomas Platt"

The poster is a new name so was intended to be anonymous it would appear.

As always, I will post anything I hear so all the latest news should be up as soon as it comes in.

I did talk to 2 other victims and they had nothing more to add - had heard nothing. I would assume Monday or Tuesday should bring an update from the investigation. What a fall from most envied and hated Mouthpiece Kingpin in the world to most broken and hated convict in the Music World. I would feel sorry for him if he had not gone out of his way to do this to himself. At this point it is just pity. How sad a day we live in.

Sorry for not posting much as of late but there has been nothing to post as Dave is still being held with no bail, in jail in New York.

His next court date will be March 28th and I would not be surprised if he enters a guilty plea on that day. As a victim myself, I know he is guilty because he ripped me off. I have also talked to all the other victims over the course of the past year and a half and believe they were also ripped off by Guardala's Scams.

So, we will see what happens on the 28th. If he pleads guilty, the next faze is sentencing, which should take place over the following month or 2.

Thanks for checking in.

Revised and Updated - 2.14.08 (for Valentines Day)

Since Guardala missed the last court date due to transportation screw-ups, the question has been - What's Next??

It appears Guardala has waved his rights to a speedy trial, meaning he does not mind sitting in jail too much. From what I have been told, Dave Guardala is scheduled to be back in court on March 28th for a court conference. Guardala's first court date in February was postponed, but he did appear the following week without much fanfare. This delay is WITH Guardala's consent. This hearing is designed for both sides to communicate to the judge the status of the case in their respective opinions.

So we wait for the 28th of March, wondering what it might bring. Wish there was something more concrete to report, but that's it for now.

According to Tim C. post - Dave Guardala was not in court today due to a mess up in transporting him to the court room from jail. The date will be rescheduled and posted once it is announced.
