The criminal case against Mohammed “Moe” Diab is going to trial after the judge rejected a time-served plea agreement.
At a hearing on December 19, the judge told the parties that it would reject the proposed plea agreement.
Accept a sentence that is agreed upon and much less than the lowest end of the appropriate guideline range, but not one that does not include at least several months of jail time and a term of home confinement.
The parties told the court they couldn’t agree on conditions of imprisonment in a Joint Status report that was submitted on December 22nd. Therefore, it was asked that a trial date be set for the first or second quarter of 2025.
To further explore the matter, the court has set a Status Conference for January 7, 2025.
Ahmad “Andy” Khawaja (right) was the CEO of Allied Wallet, a payment processor that was prone to scams.
As COO and VP of Operations, respectively, Rountree and co-defendant Mohammed “Moe” Diab assisted in managing Allied Wallet.
In August, Rountree and Diab entered a guilty plea to conspiracy to conduct wire fraud after being indicted in 2021.
On December 13th, Rountree received a sentence of time served. Khawaja is reportedly free on bail as of June 2023 while Lithuanian extradition processes are ongoing.
Subject to the scheduling of another case, the court has set a trial date of May 5, 2025.
Mohammed Diab’s trial is postponed until June 2, 2025, if the second case—which is most likely scheduled for about the same time—takes place.
