We are still acquiring signatures for the Justice for Jitesh petition on Change.org. 

Here is what Thom Thompson of JLN reported today in the John Lothian Newsletter : Jitesh Thakkar was back in federal district court on Tuesday. Thakkar and his attorney Renato Mariotti are aggressively pursuing a motion for summary judgment for dismissal of the CFTC's civil case against Thakkar. The CFTC has been provided the opportunity to conduct discovery in order to argue against the motion. According to the lawyers' statements in court, Mariotti has already provided the CFTC 800,000 pages of evidence from the first trial. The CFTC, undaunted, wants to depose four former employees of Thakkar's Edge Financial, although they have not explained to the court how that helps their case against the judgment. Anyway, the court gave both parties a week to come up with an agreed plan for depositions, including one of Thakkar. The CFTC's case against Thakkar is continuing in parallel and factual discovery in that case is to be completed by February 28. Stay tuned as the CFTC keeps searching for evidence in a case that the Department of Justice already gave up on.~Thom Thompson
