Bill's lawyers respond to the letters written a couple of years ago, but do not appear to address more recent ones which appear to be under seal, docket entry 178 dated July 15. (Unless there is a separate sealed portion of the memo addressing them.)
We acknowledge and respect the eleven former customers of Mastro Auctions who have
submitted victim impact letters to the Court during the past two years ago. (Doc. Nos. 90, 91,
112, 113, 114, 124, 146, 147, 150); (Supplemental Report to S.R.). As the Court is aware, this
case has generated widespread publicity and media attention, even prompting internet posts
encouraging former customers to write directly to the Court.20 Respectfully, and without in any
way diminishing the seriousness of Bill’s offense, it is incumbent upon us as counsel to address
some of the letters’ unsubstantiated allegations and to correct basic factual errors and omissions.
