Well, even though I can't believe it, this case seems to be headed towards wasting the government's money (which is the tax payers money - which is our money!) and is going to trial. I thought for a while that this was a ploy of some sort to attempt to look like a good guy in the 11th hour and not go to trial with a healthy plea bargain following.
All the email and court papers I have seen seems to be making a case for Dave's continued lack of any judgment or intelligence of any kind. It would appear that Guardala has been complaining about his counsel, and wanted a new public defender which was denied by the Judge. From what has been going on, it seems Dave thinks he should get off and believes he can. This is amazing!
If anyone knows how wrong he is, it should be him, He was there, doing the deed, and ripping everyone off. He knows he is a lowlife thief that preyed on sax players and then on others, once he had his 'evil chops' better fine tuned. I hope Dave gets 100 years in jail at this point. Of course he wont. But, what a dick...
So, I have a scheduled conference call Thursday with investigators and will find out at that time, what involvement I might have in the case. I know we have 100's of documents and hours of taped conversations and dozens of victims that had no doubt they were dealing with Dave Guardala. I think reality for Dave is still something that needs a minor adjustment.
SO, for those of you asking for an update - that's it. It is going to trial. Dave could be defending himself. Dave is going to jail for at least a few years. The trial is to begin September 15th I believe.
This would be another site online that truth looks much stranger than fiction...
Hey, Dave. If you have computer access there in jail - YOU SUCK!
Thanks for your input guys and any news, please pass along...
Dave Guardala was in court again yesterday and I did get an email with the days notes. It was not very good news since many of us just want him to go away to prison and and be done with it. Of course we all want our money back but we also want fairies to come and give us uncountable riches too.
The court notes straight from the court papers -
You can read them for yourselves.
Do these minutes contain ruling(s) on motion(s)? YES NO TEXT Conference held. . No plea has been reached. The Court will set a trial date. The defense counsel is on trial until the end of June. 20 potential witnesses need to be prepared many from out of state and some from Germany; multiple tapes and documents need to be copied. The parties agree they need about 8 weeks to prepare for trial and have previously arranged travel plans in August. The trial will last 5 weeks. Based on the arguments presented by counsel the Court will set a trial date of 9/15/08 at 9:30 a.m.. Order of excludable delay entered based on complexity of the case. To ensure that the time is still needed the Court will set a set status conference for 7/11/08 at 9:30am..
I guess he is working the process best he can. Greg Vail -- SAXBOY
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!
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.
>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.
We are getting close to some closure. Dave Guardala was given just a few short days to decide what he wanted to do since last Friday's extension in the proceedings.

Today the court calendar reads -
United States District Court Eastern District of New York Senior Judge PLATT, THOMAS Wednesday, April 16, 2008 02:00 PM Criminal Cause for Pleading 07cr00684 USA V. GUARDALA Deft - David Guardala in custody **AUSA Bode**
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.

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

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.
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.
