UNDER SEAL
THE GRAND JURY CHARGES THAT:
Count One
Conspiracy to Commit Mail Fraud and Wire Fraud
(18 U.S.C. § 1349)
1. Beginning in or about 2010, and continuing to on or about June 3, 2015, in
the Northern District of Georgia and elsewhere, the defendants, TYSON
RHAME, TERRENCE KELLER, also known as TerryK, JAMES SHAW, and
FRANK BELL, did knowingly and willfully combine, conspire, confederate,
agree and have a tacit understanding with each other and with others, both
known and unknown to the Grand Jury, to devise and intend to devise a scheme
and artifice to defraud, and to obtain money and property, by means of
materially false and fraudulent pretenses, representations, and promises, and by
the omissions of material facts, well knowing and having reason to know that
said pretenses were and would be false and fraudulent when made and caused
to be made and that said omissions were and would be materiaL and, in so
Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 1 Filed 02/10/16 Page 1 of 41
doing, caused the United States Postal Service and other interstate carriers to be
used, and interstate wire communications to be made, in furtherance of the
scheme and artifice to defraud, in violation of Title 18, United States Code,
Sections 1341 and 1343.
Background
It is relevant to this Indictment that during the time period of the conspiracy:
2. Sterling Currency Group, LLC, which also did business as Sterling Online
Processing Services, LLC, and Dinar Banker (collectively, "Sterling"), was a
Georgia corporation with its principal place of business in Atlanta, Georgia.
Sterling sold and exchanged so-called "exotic currencies", including most
predominantly the currency for the country of Iraq, the Iraqi dinar.
3. TYSON RHAME and JAMES SHAW were co-owners of Sterling, which
began operations in 2004. FRANK BELL began working for Sterling in 2010 and
became Sterling's Chief Operating Officer in 2011.
4. During the course of the conspiracy. Sterling grossed over $600 million in
revenue from the sale of Iraqi dinar and other currencies. During this time
period, RHAME and SHAW received over $180 million in distributions from
Sterling. Sterling's sales were primarily derived from three sources: (1) dinar
and other currency sales to individual customers, (2) non-refundable and
refundable "layaway orders" whereby customers could put a percentage of
money down for the full purchase price of the dinar and other currency, and (3)
orders from entities that purchased the dinar and other currencies in bulk (who
2
Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 1 Filed 02/10/16 Page 2 of 41
were, at various times of the conspiracy, referred to as "high-value customers",
"high-risk customers", "resellers", and "agents").
5. "The GET Team" was the trade name for a group of individuals, led by
TERRENCE KELLER, also known as TerryK, who ran a website, an internet chat
forum and weekly conference calls in which, among other things, information
was disseminated to participants concerning the potential investment value of
the Iraqi dinar. KELLER maintained operational control over The GET Team,
including its finances and revenue, through a Kentucky corporation named
"TCB Group."
Manner and Means
6. During the time period of the conspiracy, the Iraqi dinar was touted by
some as a potential investment opportunity. For example, in 2010, Sterling's
website, which contained videos featuring RHAME and articles written by
RHAME, described the potential for the Iraqi dinar to increase in value.
Additionally, information publicly available on certain internet websites, blogs,
chat rooms, and conference calls fueled the speculation by predicting that a
"revaluation" of the Iraqi dinar would occur imminently. A "revaluation" or
"RV", in this context, meant a sudden, exponential rise in value of the Iraqi
dinar as compared to the U.S. dollar and other relatively stable global
currencies. Individuals who owned Iraqi dinar would realize potentially
enormous gains if an "RV" ever occurred in this manner.
3
Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 1 Filed 02/10/16 Page 3 of 41
7. TERRENCE KELLER, through The GET Team, was one of the leading
internet-based proponents of the "RV" theory. On The GET Team's website,
internet chat forum, and on weekly conference calls, KELLER falsely claimed to
have information from, and verified by, high-level confidential sources in the
United States government, the Iraqi government, international organizations,
and major financial institutions, regarding an imminent "RV."
8. Sterling was one of the largest sellers and currency exchangers of the Iraqi
dinar in the United States. Beginning at least as early as 2010, Sterling's business
revenue was driven in part by the investment advice touted by TERRENCE
KELLER and others, both on the internet and on participating conference calls.
In fact, TYSON RHAME, JAMES SHAW, and FRANK BELL, through Sterling,
began advertising with The GET Team through a web banner placed on The
GET Team's website. A Sterling representative also participated in The GET
Team's internet forum and on conference calls with followers. At various times,
RHAME and BELL personally participated in The GET Team's conference calls.
Followers of The GET Team were on occasion offered a discount coupon and
sale price to purchase Iraqi dinar from Sterling.
9. TERRENCE KELLER induced followers of The GET Team into believing
his claims about the imminent "RV" of the Iraqi dinar, and about his access to
high-level confidential sources, by making material misrepresentations and by
omissions of material facts. For instance, KELLER did not have information
from, or contact with, high-level confidential sources. Additionally, KELLER
4
Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 1 Filed 02/10/16 Page 4 of 41
claimed directly and indirectly to followers of The GET Team that he had no
financial or other ulterior motive to promote the Iraqi dinar as an investment,
but rather, that he was simply disseminating his knowledge and information so
that others could benefit from it as well. Religious and patriotic themes were
often interwoven into The GET Team's conference calls and internet forums,
further solidifying the perception that KELLER was honest, credible and could
be trusted.
10. In truth, TERRENCE KELLER had a secret arrangement with TYSON
RHAME, JAMES SHAW and FRANK BELL to promote and "pump" the Iraqi
dinar in exchange for payments made by Sterling to benefit KELLER. KELLER,
RHAME, SHAW, and BELL knew and believed that representations concerning
an imminent "RV" of the Iraqi dinar, particularly claims that the information
came from one or more supposed high-level confidential sources, would boost
sales for Sterling.
11. TERRENCE KELLER affirmatively told his followers that he did not
make substantial profits from his dealings with Sterling and other dinar dealers.
In actuality, since at least as early as August 2011, Sterling paid KELLER over
$160,000. Additionally, since Sterling's partnership with KELLER began in late
2010, KELLER received dinar specials, extensions on layaway sales, and other
material benefits from Sterling. Separate from this, KELLER received over
$100,000 from at least one other dinar dealer. KELLER consistently downplayed
all of these financial benefits to his followers and listeners.
5
Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 1 Filed 02/10/16 Page 5 of 41
12. The correlation between Sterling's increased sales and TERRENCE
KELLER'S promotion and "pump" of the Iraqi dinar was further cemented by
the presence of a Sterling representative and other dinar dealer representatives,
including, at times, TYSON RHAME and FRANK BELL, on The GET Team's
conference calls and internet forums. At various times, RHAME, BELL and
other Sterling representatives participated in conference calls and internet
forums in which KELLER made representations to followers concerning the
imminent Iraqi dinar "RV", his access to high-level confidential sources, and
claims that he was just trying to be helpful and received no financial benefit for
providing this information to others.
13. The presence and participation of TYSON RHAME, FRANK BELL, and
other Sterling representatives on The GET Team's conference calls and internet
forums provided further validation to followers that KELLER's claims about an
imminent "RV" of the Iraqi dinar should be believed. While making no direct
representations about the likelihood of an "RV" themselves or offering
investment advice to potential investors, RHAME, BELL, and other Sterling
representatives assured listeners on The GET Team's conference calls that
Sterling was prepared to handle the high volume of Iraqi dinar exchanges that
many investors expected would occur immediately after the "RV."

Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 1 Filed 02/10/16 Page 6 of 41
14. Since at least as early as 2011, RHAME, SHAW, AND BELL established
financial relationships with additional promoters, both known and unknown to
the Grand Jury, who promoted the notion of an Iraqi dinar revaluation.
15. TYSON RHAME, JAMES SHAW, and FRANK BELL knew and believed
that many of Sterling's customers relied upon information from TERRENCE
KELLER and these other promoters when making investment decisions
regarding the Iraqi dinar, and that much of the information being disseminated
by KELLER and the other promoters was materially false. For one, RHAME,
SHAW, and BELL never believed that KELLER or the other dinar promoters
had the types of high-level sources they repeatedly claimed to have.
Furthermore, at the same time that RHAME, SHAW, and BELL told their
employees not to speculate or offer investment advice to customers, they knew
that KELLER and the other promoters would continue to spread false
information about the dinar.
16. TYSON RHAME, JAMES SHAW, and FRANK BELL knew and believed
that the pumping activities of TERRENCE KELLER and other dinar promoters
(who were oftentimes called "bloggers") were essential to Sterling's financial
success. In November 2010, SHAW told an individual that Sterling was the
"second largest in US but have been making ground up as we now have the
bloggers singing our praises. Almost a little cult like." In December 2010,
RHAME told colleagues that KELLER and the GET Team "push 80% of our
business these days." By December 2011, the relationship with KELLER had
7
Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 1 Filed 02/10/16 Page 7 of 41
grown so strong that, in an internal Sterling email, BELL referred to The GET
Team as Sterling's "largest referrer." RHAME, SHAW, and BELL knew and
believed that the relationships with KELLER and the other dinar promoters
continued to generate Sterling millions of dollars in dinar and other currency
sales throughout the course of the conspiracy.
All in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1349.

ORDER
WHEREAS the discovery materials provided and otherwise made available to
the defendants by the United States in this case are voluminous, and contain
sensitive information pertaining to individuals and companies, some of whom
are not parties to the litigation, as well as sensitive information that might be
subject to the provisions of the Bank Secrecy Act; and
WHEREAS redaction of all potential sensitive information in this voluminous
production would be unduly burdensome, and would be subject to error given
the volume of documentation involved in this production;
THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED pursuant to Rule 16(d) of the Federal
Rules of Criminal Procedure that:
1. Any and all materials and information provided by the United States to the
defendants (hereinafter referred to in this order as “discovery”) are to be used by
the defendants and their counsel solely for the purpose of allowing the
defendants to prepare their defense, and that none of the defendants, defense
Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 33-1 Filed 03/01/16 Page 1 of 4
counsel, nor members of any defense team will disseminate, disclose, or provide
discovery materials containing the sensitive information identified herein, to
anyone who is not necessary to the preparation of the defense.
2. All discovery materials provided by the United States, regardless of
whether such materials and information have already been produced or will be
produced in the future, and regardless of whether such materials and
information have or will be produced pursuant to Rule 16 or otherwise, shall not
be further disseminated by the defendants or their counsel to any individual,
organization, or other entity, other than: (1) members of the defense team, i.e., co-
counsel, paralegals, investigators, litigation support personnel, the defendants,
and secretarial staff; (2) any experts or consultants retained to assist in the
preparation of the defense; and (3) the Court, unless the sensitive information
identified herein is redacted from such materials and information. Upon any
dissemination of the materials and information containing the sensitive
information identified herein, defense counsel will inform the recipient of this
Protective Order and the requirement to maintain the confidentiality of the
information conveyed.
3. Defense counsel, any co-counsel, and any investigators may display copies
of any discovery containing the sensitive information identified herein, to non-
expert witnesses, if it is determined that it is necessary to do so for the purpose of
preparing the defense of the case, and may do so without any notice to the
United States. Defense counsel may also provide copies of discovery documents
to witnesses in advance of meeting with them, so long as the witnesses agree that
Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 33-1 Filed 03/01/16 Page 2 of 4
they would not disseminate the documents, and so long as defense counsel
retrieves all copies of the documents from the witness subsequent to meeting
with them.
4. If a defendant’s counsel desires to disclose any discovery or make available
or communicate the content of such discovery containing the sensitive
information identified herein, to any other person not described in this Order,
Government’s counsel must first be so advised and seek to reach an informal
resolution of or agreement on the matter. If an agreement cannot be reached,
Defendant’s counsel shall apply to the Court for relief from this Order.
5. If a defendant’s counsel desires to file any discovery as attachments to
motions and it appears that the discovery contains information subject to this
Order, the discovery must be filed under seal so as not to reveal sensitive
information on the public docket.
5. This ORDER solely governs the defendants and defense teams use of
documents produced in this action from the United States. This ORDER does not
limit the defendants and defense teams use of documents that they might
already possess prior to receiving discovery, or might obtain through other
means.
Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 33-1 Filed 03/01/16 Page 3 of 4
6. This ORDER shall survive the final termination of this action, and that
upon termination of this action and, upon the termination of any appeal, counsel
for each defendant shall return all copies of the discovery to the Government, or

Criminal Action No.
1:16-CR-67-JFK-CMS
Government’s Motion for Protective Order for Discovery Material
The United States of America, by John A. Horn, United States Attorney, and
Thomas J. Krepp, Steven D. Grimberg, and Jamie L. Mickelson, Assistant United
States Attorneys for the Northern District of Georgia, hereby moves pursuant to
Fed. R. Crim P. 16(d), for a protective order that limits the defendants use and
dissemination of information provided in discovery to that which is reasonably
necessary to prepare their defense.
Specifically, the Government requests an order providing that any
discovery materials and all information included in discovery materials (referred
to in this order as Adiscovery@), regardless of whether such materials and
information are defined as discovery under Rule 16 or already have been
Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 33 Filed 03/01/16 Page 1 of 5
2
produced, that are provided by the United States to the defendants shall not be
further disseminated by any defendant or his counsel to any individuals,
organizations, or other entities, other than: (1) members of the defense team
(co-counsel, paralegals, investigators, litigation support personnel, Defendant,
and secretarial staff); and (2) any experts or consultants retained to assist in the
preparation of the defense. The Government further requests an order stating
that each defendant, his counsel, and any investigator may show but not provide
copies of any discovery to witnesses if it is determined that it is necessary to do
so for the purpose of preparing the defense of the case. The Government further
requests that all discovery is to be provided and used by each defendant and his
counsel solely for the purpose of allowing each defendant to prepare his defense,
and that each defendant, defense counsel, or members of the defense teams will
not disseminate, disclose, or provide the discovery produced by the United
States to anyone who is not necessary to the preparation of the defense.
In support of this motion, the Government states that the discovery
material in this case is voluminous. Many of these documents contain financial
records, including information subject to the Bank Secrecy Act and similar laws,
as well as financial and personal information of third parties, including former
customers of Sterling Currency Group and followers of the GET Team, which are
Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 33 Filed 03/01/16 Page 2 of 5
3
both further described in the Indictment. Finally, the discovery contains bank
account and personal identifying information of the co-defendants as well as
third parties who are not named defendants in this case.
Thus, the Government submits that protective measures are necessary to
guard against dissemination of confidential business, financial, and other
personal information. A protective order is the most reasonable way of
balancing the defendants’ need for access to these materials, with the rights of
individuals whose information may be reflected in this discovery as well as
sensitive Bank Secrecy Act information.
The defendants’ respective attorneys have been consulted regarding the
Government’s motion and they oppose portions of the attached proposed order.

WHEREFORE, the United States of America respectfully requests that the
Court issue the protective order presented to the Court.

TYSON RHAME
TERRENCE KELLER
JAMES SHAW
FRANK BELL
Defendant, [REVISED 02/17/2010]
O R D E R
I. A pretrial conference shall be held in this case on March 11, 2016 at 9:45
a.m., before the undersigned Magistrate Judge in Courtroom 1810, 18th Floor,
United States Courthouse, 75 Ted Turner Drive, S.W., Atlanta, Georgia 30303.
Counsel who will actually handle the trial of the case must be present. The
defendant need not be present. N.D. Ga. CrR. 17.1.
Please note that it shall be the responsibility of Defendant’s counsel to notify
the office of the undersigned and counsel for the Government if no pretrial motions
shall be filed and/or no pretrial conference is required.
II. Prior to the above-scheduled conference, the following shall occur:
Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 41 Filed 03/03/16 Page 1 of 17
2
A. The parties shall confer regarding the probable disposition of the
case, scheduling problems, resolution of issues related to discovery production and
the mechanics thereof, possible motions, and possible stipulations of law and fact,
pursuant to N.D. Ga. CrR. 12.1D.
B. Upon the defendant’s request, the government shall permit the
defendant to inspect and copy discoverable matter, including but not limited to, all
Rule 16 materials, all search warrants and affidavits, consent forms for any searches
that the defendant arguably has standing to challenge, Miranda rights and waiver of
Miranda rights forms, and photographs from which identification of the defendant
was made. If the government has discoverable materials not immediately available
locally, it shall advise the defendant of the existence and nature of the items.
N.D. Ga. CrR. 16.1.
In accordance with FED. R. CRIM. P. 12(b)(4), the government shall enumerate
and describe with particularity the existence and nature of all items seized during any
search that the defendant arguably has standing to challenge, including specifying
where such items were seized during said search.1
Where reciprocal discovery is
1
Pursuant to N.D. Ga. CrR. 16.1, at arraignment the government is required to
provide the defendant with an inventory of all items seized from the defendant by
law enforcement officials which the government expects to introduce at trial.
The government SHALL furnish the affected defendant with such an inventory.
Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 41 Filed 03/03/16 Page 2 of 17
3
requested by the government, the attorney for the defendant shall personally advise
the defendant of the request, the defendant’s obligations thereto, and the possibility
of sanctions, including exclusion of any such evidence from trial, for failure to
comply with the Rule. See FED. R. CRIM. P. 16(b) and (d); N.D. Ga. CrR. 16.1.
C. A party desiring to inspect and copy any materials which were not
available initially shall be permitted to do so in accordance with the Local Rules.
N.D. Ga. CrR. 16.1.
D. All discovery of materials known by the parties or their agents to exist
shall be completed within the times contemplated by this order unless a modifying
order is entered upon motion made under N.D. Ga. CrR. 16.1 or FED. R. CRIM. P.
16(d). The parties shall document, independent of their personal recollection,
compliance with requests and orders for discovery.
III. Filing Pretrial Motions
The parties are reminded that pretrial disclosure in criminal cases generally is
governed by FED. R. CRIM. P. 16 or pursuant to case law, such as Brady v. Maryland,
373 U.S. 83 (1963), and that the government ordinarily has no basis upon which to
object. The local rules require any party seeking relief through a motion to confer
with opposing counsel in an attempt to resolve disputed matters prior to the filing of
Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 41 Filed 03/03/16 Page 3 of 17
4
motions related thereto. N.D. Ga. CrR. 12.1.D. Moreover, FED. R. CRIM. P. 16
directs that the government must produce discoverable material upon only a
“request” of the defendant.
Therefore, counsel are DIRECTED to NOT file any motion for materials or
information or other relief that: (1) the opposing party has agreed to provide, or
(2) the party is entitled to inspect and copy under applicable criminal rules and case
law, UNLESS the attorney certifies to the court in writing that: (1) the materials
have been requested from the opposing party or the motion for other relief has been
discussed with the counsel for the opposing party, and (2) the opposing counsel
declines to provide the materials/information/relief requested. If counsel believes it
is necessary to document what is requested from, or agreed to by, the government, he
or she may do so by letter to opposing counsel, without filing or copying such letter
with the Court. Counsel also may re-label his or her standard motions as “Requests”
and serve them on opposing counsel, but NOT file them with the Clerk’s Office or
the Court. Or, counsel may file with the Clerk a certification that the defendant had
served the government with a discovery request, and keep the original discovery
request in his or her file, to be filed with the Clerk only upon the need to use the
request in court, similar to the practice in civil cases. See N.D. Ga. R. 5.4 and 26.3.
Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 41 Filed 03/03/16 Page 4 of 17
5
The Court WILL discuss any such requests at the pretrial conference. The requests,
certificates or letters may later be used to support a motion for sanctions or to
compel, if the opposing party fails to comply with his or her legal obligations or
agreements. See FED. R. CRIM. P. 16(d)(2).
If, after consultation and failure to reach an agreement with opposing counsel,
counsel files a motion for materials or information outside the scope of
FED. R. CRIM. P. 16 and relevant case law, he or she shall do so ONLY by making a
particularized showing that relates to the facts of this case.
IV. Standard Rulings
The following rulings are made in this case and are intended only to obviate
the need for standard, non-particularized motions on these subjects. Any party
who disagrees with these standard rulings may file, within the time allowed for filing
motions, see N.D. Ga. CrR. 12.1(B), a particularized motion for relief therefrom,
including a motion to compel or for a protective order.
A. Discovery Materials: Upon request of the defendant, the government is
directed to provide to the defendant all materials and information falling within the
scope of FED. R. CRIM. P. 16 and N.D. Ga. CrR. 16.1, including but not limited to an
inventory of all items seized from the defendant by law enforcement officials which
Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 41 Filed 03/03/16 Page 5 of 17
6
the government intends to introduce at trial. The government has a continuing duty
to disclose any evidence that is subject to discovery or inspection. United States v.
Jordan, 316 F.3d 1215, 1249 (11th
Cir. 2003); FED. R. CRIM. P. 16(c).
B. Discovery and Disclosure of Evidence Arguably Subject to Suppression
and of Evidence Which is Exculpatory and/or Impeaching: Upon request of the
defendant, the government is directed to comply with FED. RS. CRIM. P. 12 and 16,
by providing notice as specified in section II.B, supra. The government also is
directed to provide all materials and information that are arguably favorable to the
defendant in compliance with its obligations under Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83
(1963); Giglio v. United States, 405 U.S. 150 (1972); and their progeny.
Exculpatory material as defined in Brady and Kyles v. Whitley, 514 U.S. 419, 434
(1995), shall be provided sufficiently in advance of trial to allow a defendant to use it
effectively. Impeachment material must be provided no later than production of the
Jencks Act statements.
C. Rule 404(b): Upon request of the defendant, the government is directed to
provide to the defense a summary of any evidence it intends to offer of other crimes,
wrongs or acts pursuant to FED. R. EVID. 404(b). The 404(b) evidence shall be
provided to the defense as soon as practicable after the government has
Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 41 Filed 03/03/16 Page 6 of 17
7
determined to use such evidence, subject to the following deadlines: If the
404(b) evidence pertains to acts or conduct of the defendant which is alleged to have
occurred within the Northern District of Georgia, the summary required to be
provided under this heading and the rule shall be provided no later than fourteen
(14) days before trial. If the acts or conduct is alleged to have occurred outside the
Northern District of Georgia, the summary required to be provided under this
heading shall be provided no later than twenty-one (21) days before trial.
D. Preservation of Evidence and Handwritten Notes of Agents:
The government is directed to preserve all evidence and handwritten notes of law
enforcement officers pertaining to this case and the defendant. Notwithstanding this
provision, if the government wishes to destroy contraband drug evidence in
conformance with the procedures set forth in 28 C.F.R. § 50.21, the government
must first give each affected defendant notice in writing of the intended contraband
destruction. Said notice shall not be given earlier than fourteen (14) days after the
entry of this Order. Any defendant shall have fourteen (14) days after the date of
the notice to file a written objection to the proposed contraband destruction. If no
objections are filed and the government otherwise has complied with any applicable
Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 41 Filed 03/03/16 Page 7 of 17
8
protocol under 28 C.F.R. § 50.21, the government may destroy the excess
contraband.2
E. Examination and Testing of Physical Evidence: The defendant shall be
allowed to examine and test physical evidence under reasonable conditions which
maintain the integrity of the evidence.
F. Monitored Phone Calls of an In-Custody and All Electronic Recordings
of Defendant: The government shall disclose to the defendant if it has heard, used,
or intends to use, any monitored phone calls made by the defendant while in custody,
and shall disclose to defendant all electronic monitoring of the defendant in
accordance with FED. R. CRIM. P. 16 and 18 U.S.C. § 2500, et seq. (Title III).
A defendant is not entitled to the recorded conversations of co-defendants or others
to which he/she was not a party, unless required to be produced by Rule 16, the
Jencks Act, or Brady and/or Giglio.
G. Identification Materials: The government shall disclose to the defense the
circumstances under which any photographic or lineup identification of the
2
The government is reminded that the provisions of this Order apply only to
parties presently before the Court and not to defendants who have not been
apprehended or who are subsequently charged in this case.
Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 41 Filed 03/03/16 Page 8 of 17
9
defendant was made and shall provide the defendant with copies of any photographs
used to make any identification.
H. Charts and Summaries: The government shall produce any charts or
summaries to be used in its opening statement or presentation of its case-in-chief at
trial no later than three (3) business days before trial. The defendant shall produce
any charts and summaries to be used in his or her opening statement no later than
three (3) business days before trial. All other charts and summaries shall be
produced to the other party at least one (1) business day prior to their use. As used
in this paragraph, the term “summaries” excludes summaries of expert testimony
which must be disclosed upon request under FED. R. CRIM. P. 16(a)(1)(G); expert
summaries are due to be disclosed in the time provided for discovery.
I. Jencks Act (18 U.S.C. § 3500): The Court has no authority to order the
government to provide Jencks Act material at any time prior to the completion of
direct examination of the government witness at issue. Jordan, 316 F.3d at 1227
n.17, 1251 & n.78. The Court strongly encourages the government to disclose
Jencks Act material before the pretrial hearing or trial at which the witness will be
called to testify. Any agreement between the parties to provide early Jencks Act
Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 41 Filed 03/03/16 Page 9 of 17
10
material may be memorialized orally at the pretrial conference or by letter agreement
between the parties. The government is ORDERED to comply with the Jencks Act.
J. Names of Unindicted Co-Conspirators: If there is a conspiracy count in
the indictment or if the government intends to rely on FED. R. EVID. 801(d)(2)(E) to
introduce co-conspirator statements, the government is directed to provide the
defendant with the names of unindicted co-conspirators known to the government,
but not with statements made by co-conspirators or with their address or other
identifying information, unless required by the Jencks Act, Brady and/or Giglio.
K. Identification of Government Witnesses: Upon request of the defendant,
the government is required to provide the names of all expert witnesses, along with
other information and materials required by FED. R. CRIM. P. 16(a)(1)(F) and (G) and
FED. RS. EVID. 702, 703, and 705.
No party is required to provide a list of its other witnesses in advance of trial
unless otherwise compelled by law. The Court will entertain a motion for a witness
list only if it is particularized to the facts of this case.
L. Bruton Issues: The government shall disclose to the defendant and the
Court whether it anticipates introduction at trial of a co-defendant’s statement that
inculpates the defendant, within the meaning of Bruton v. United States, 391 U.S.
Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 41 Filed 03/03/16 Page 10 of 17
11
123 (1968). At the pretrial conference, the government shall be prepared to
announce whether, if both defendants opted to go to trial, they could not be tried
jointly since the co-defendant’s statements could not be properly redacted to comply
with the Supreme Court’s directive in Gray v. Maryland, 523 U.S. 185 (1998).
M. Motions to Sever Defendants Under FED. R. CRIM. P. 14(a) Due to
Prejudicial Overspill: Severance under FED. R. CRIM. P. 14 where there is an
allegation of undue prejudice from a joint trial due to prejudicial “overspill” is
warranted only when a defendant demonstrates that a joint trial will result in
“specific and compelling prejudice” to his or her defense. Compelling prejudice
occurs when the jury is unable, even after proper instruction from the trial court, “to
separately appraise the evidence as to each defendant and render a fair and impartial
verdict.” United States v. Liss, 265 F.3d 1220, 1228 (11th
Cir. 2001). The trial court
is empowered to sever defendants or counts after the commencement of the trial
under Rule 14 if manifest necessity so requires. United States v. Butler, 41 F.3d
1435, 1441 (11th
Cir. 1995). Therefore, any motion for severance on grounds of
prejudicial overspill should not be filed unless it sets out specific, individualized
grounds as to why the defendant is unduly prejudiced by a joint trial with others.
Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 41 Filed 03/03/16 Page 11 of 17
12
N. Reserving Right to File Additional or Out-of-Time Motions: Motions
for an extension of time to file pretrial motions are not granted as a matter of right,
but must be based on good cause shown. Any motion to file additional or out-of-
time motions must contain a particularized statement of the existence of good cause
to file such a motion, must identify the specific motion or motions that may be filed,
a statement of the position of opposing counsel, and be accompanied by a proposed
order which includes appropriate language excluding any delay under the Speedy
Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161, et seq.
O. Motion to Adopt Motions of Co-Defendants: No motion to adopt one or
more motions of a co-defendant shall be filed unless it is accompanied by a
statement specifically demonstrating the standing of the adopting party to seek the
relief requested in each motion sought to be adopted. A motion to adopt shall only
seek to adopt a single motion of a co-defendant; moving to adopt multiple motions,
even of the same co-defendant, requires the filing of a separate motion to adopt as to
each motion. As to any motion sought to be adopted, the adopting defendant must
either (1) specifically identify the motion sought to be adopted by its docket number
in CM/ECF (preferred); or (2) include as an attachment to the motion to adopt a copy
of at least the front page of the motion sought to be adopted. The motion must
Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 41 Filed 03/03/16 Page 12 of 17
13
otherwise comply with the requirements of N.D. Ga. CrR. 12.1.C. Any motions to
adopt not filed in compliance with this paragraph shall be denied.
P. Motion for Reciprocal Discovery: If the defendant has requested
discovery, upon request of the government following its compliance with its
FED. R. CRIM. P. 16(a)(1)(E) obligations, the defendant is required to provide
discovery materials and information in accordance with FED. R. CRIM. P. 16(b) and
N.D. Ga. CrR. 16.1.
Subject to the above instructions:
(1) Unless otherwise extended by the undersigned or the District Judge
to whom this case is assigned for trial, the parties shall file with the Clerk within (14)
fourteen days after arraignment any necessary pretrial motions pursuant to
N.D. Ga. CrR. 12.1A and B and 16.1 and N.D. Ga. R. 5.1.A, 7, 10 and 11.
(2) Each motion other than a motion to adopt shall contain a
certification that counsel conferred with opposing counsel concerning the
subject matter of the motion but was unable to reach agreement on the
resolution of the issue therein. N.D. Ga. CrR. 12.1D.
V. Procedure at Pretrial Conference
A. Government counsel shall be prepared to discuss:
1. The circumstances surrounding any arrest of the defendant;
Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 41 Filed 03/03/16 Page 13 of 17
14
2. The circumstances surrounding any identifications made of the
defendant;
3. The circumstances surrounding any statements made by the
defendant to law enforcement or other government
agents; and
4. The circumstances surrounding any searches or seizures that
resulted in evidence that the Government intends to
use against the defendant.
5. Whether it intends to introduce any evidence pursuant to FED. R.
EVID. 404(b).
6. Whether it intends to introduce any expert testimony.
B. Where possible, the undersigned will rule orally on any motions that
have been filed. The rulings will be noted on the docket sheets and the docket of the
case.
C. Evidentiary hearings will be scheduled.
D. Counsel also shall be prepared to discuss the following:
1. Evidentiary and other legal issues they anticipate may arise at
trial;
2. Probability of disposition of the case without trial;
3. Problems relating to the scheduling of trial; and
4. Whether any facts can be stipulated.
E. Failure to respond to a motion after being directed to do so within
fourteen (14) days thereafter or at such time as set by the Magistrate Judge may be
considered as indicating there is no opposition to the motion. N.D. Ga. R.7.1.B;
N.D. Ga. CrR. 12.1.B.
Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 41 Filed 03/03/16 Page 14 of 17
15
F. Failure by a party to raise defenses or objections or make motions as
specified in FED. R. CRIM. P. 12(b)(3)(A)-(D) shall constitute a waiver thereof,
unless good cause for such failure is shown.3
G. When a party fails to supplement or perfect a motion within the time
afforded after having requested or been given an opportunity to supplement or
perfect said motion, the Court may deem the original motion abandoned or
withdrawn.
VI. Rescheduling of the Pretrial Conference
The pretrial conference may be continued only by order of the Court. A party
seeking to continue a pretrial conference must first confer with all other counsel
representing parties in this case to determine whether all parties consent to the
continuance. If all parties consent to the rescheduling of the pretrial conference, the
party seeking the continuance should then contact the undersigned Magistrate
Judge’s Courtroom Deputy Clerk to request to reschedule the pretrial conference,
and if said request is granted, to set a new date and time for the conference.
3
A motion is not necessary to protect a party’s right to Rule 16 discovery
materials and information so long as the party seeking protection complies with the
procedure set forth in this Order. See FED. R. CRIM. P. 12(b)(3)(E).
Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 41 Filed 03/03/16 Page 15 of 17
16
If a party seeking to continue a pretrial conference cannot obtain the
consent of all parties in this case, a written motion specifying the reasons for
the continuance must be filed with the Clerk and a courtesy copy served on
the undersigned at least one (1) business day prior to the pretrial conference.
Any consent continuance or motion to continue the pretrial conference shall be
accompanied by a proposed order which includes the following: (1) a place for
the entry of any rescheduled date and time to hold the pretrial conference, and
(2) the following language for the Court’s consideration:
( ) The delay between the original and rescheduled pretrial
conferences shall be excluded from Speedy Trial Act calculations
because the Court finds that the reason for the delay was for good
cause and the interests of justice in granting the continuance outweigh
the public’s and the defendant’s rights to a speedy trial. 18 U.S.C.
§ 3161, et seq.
( ) The delay between the original and rescheduled pretrial
conferences shall not be excluded for Speedy Trial Act purposes.
18 U.S.C. § 3161, et seq.
( ) The Court finds that due to the extensive discovery in this case, it
was necessary to extend the time for the defendants to file pretrial
motions, and accordingly, postpone the holding of the initial pretrial
conference. The Court finds that the interests of justice in continuing
the pretrial motions deadline and in holding the pretrial conference
substantially outweigh the interests of the public and defendants in the
speedy resolution of this matter, and thus the Clerk is directed to
count as excludable any delay occurring in extending the motions
deadline and the holding of the pretrial conference. 18 U.S.C. § 3161,
et seq.

Motion to Amend Order Setting Conditions of Release
On February 22, 2016 this Court entered an order Setting Conditions of
Release as to Tyson Rhame. On the same day this Court approved travel by Tyson
Rhame to the US Virgin Islands conditioned on a payment of a $1,000,000 cash
bond paid into the Court registry. Rhame paid this $1,000,000 cash bond on
March 1, 2016. Confirmation of this payment was docketed with this Court on
March 2, 2016.
Because of mechanical problems with the boat Rhame was planning on
using in the US Virgin Islands, Rhame would like to modify the Order Setting
Conditions of Release and the Court’s order allowing Rhame to travel to the US
Virgin Islands to allow Rhame travel to Colorado or Wyoming instead.

LEGAL02/36216567v1
Accommodations are still being made at this time for the travel. The United States
has consented to this modification. Rhame’s probation officer requested a Court
order allowing Rhame to travel to either Colorado or Wyoming.
WHEREFORE, Rhame requests that this Court:
1. Modify its Order Setting Conditions of Release and Order requiring a
$1,000,000 bond to be paid to allow Rhame to travel to Colorado or
Wyoming instead of the US Virgin Islands conditioned on (i) the
$1,000,000 cash bond already paid to the Court; and (ii) approval of
these travel plans by Rhame’s probation officer;
2. Enter an Order directing the Clerk to refund the $1,000,000 cash bond
to Rhame upon his return to the Northern District of Georgia and upon
motion by Rhame pursuant to Local Rule 67.

Upon Defendants’ joint, unopposed motion and for good cause shown, the
Defendants’ motion for an extension of time for filing pretrial motions and to
continue the pretrial conference is GRANTED. It is hereby ORDERED that the
pretrial conference and motions deadline will set for March 28, 2016 with the
understanding that the parties may request additional time for motions due to the
volume of discovery, the timing of production, and the need for review.
It is also hereby ORDERED that the Clerk shall exclude the delay between
the current motions deadline, March 7, 2016, and the newly scheduled pretrial
conference, March 28, 2016, from the Speedy Trial Act calculations because the
Court finds that the reason for the delay was for good cause and the interests of
justice in granting the continuance outweigh the public’s and the defendants’ rights
to a speedy trial insofar as the failure to grant such continuance would deny counsel

UNOPPOSED JOINT MOTION TO CONTINUE
PRETRIAL CONFERENCE AND MOTIONS DEADLINE
Defendants, though counsel, hereby file this joint motion to continue the
pretrial conference currently set for March 11, 2016 and the pretrial motions
deadline set for March 7, 2016 as follows:
1.
On February 10, 2016, the defendants were indicted on mail and wire fraud
charges as well as on charges of money laundering.
2.
On February 22, 2016, the defendants were arraigned and released on bond.
At arraignment, the government provided partial discovery consisting of 4 discs
entitled:
• “E-MAIL-SW-000001 to 001113;; INTV – DEFENDANT-0001 to
0020; and SW-000001 to 002468”
Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 47 Filed 03/07/16 Page 1 of 5
2
• “Rhame Interview 6-3-15”
• “Frank Bell Interview May 28, 2015”
• “Frank Bell Interview June 3, 2015”
3.
In its discovery letter, the government indicated that discovery is voluminous
and that defendants each needed to provide five 3-terabyte hard drives and one 1-
terabyte hard drive for the remaining discovery material. These hard drives have
been provided to the government. The government is in the process of transferring
the discovery data to the drives for production to defense counsel.
4.
The government also proposed a protective Order governing the treatment of
the discovery. The parties are currently working to resolve the language of the Order
which will govern potentially sensitive data.
5.
In addition, the defendants are currently determining the best way to copy,
store, and manage the volume of discovery. For example, the volume of discovery
in this case exceeds the entire office storage capacity of Federal Defender Program,
Inc. by two and one-half times. Defense counsel is actively discussing with the
government and each other the best ways to coordinate and eliminate duplication
and the logistics of storing and reviewing the data once turned over.
Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 47 Filed 03/07/16 Page 2 of 5

6.
The deadline for pretrial motions pursuant to Rule 12 of the Federal Rules of
Criminal Procedure and Order of this Court is March 7, 2016, with the pretrial
conference set for March 11, 2016.
7.
Through undersigned counsel, the parties respectfully request that the Court
continue the pretrial motions deadline and continue the date for the pretrial
conference. Specifically, the parties request that the motions deadline and pretrial
conference be reset to March 28, 2016, with the understanding that, at the
conference, the parties will propose a motions deadline, update the court on the
discovery production, and raise any other issues of concern. This extension will
hopefully allow for the resolution of the protective Order, the production of some (if
not all) of the voluminous discovery, and the ability for defense counsel to better
assess a realistic motions deadline. Counsel for Mr. Keller has conferred with
counsel for each co-defendant and is authorized to report that they join this motion.
8.

Beginning in or about 2010, and continuing to on or about June 3, 2015, in the Northern District of Georgia and elsewhere, the defendants, TYSON RHAME, TERRENCE KELLER, also known as TerryK, JAMES SHAW, and FRANK BELL, did knowingly and willfully combine, conspire, confederate, agree and have a tacit understanding with each other and with others, both known and unknown to the Grand Jury, to devise and intend to devise a scheme and artifice to defraud, and to obtain money and property, by means of materially false and fraudulent pretenses, representations, and promises, and by the omissions of material facts, well knowing and having reason to know that said pretenses were and would be false and fraudulent when made and caused to be made and that said omissions were and would be materiaL and, in so Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 1 Filed 02/10/16 Page 1 of 41

    doing, caused theUnited States Postal Service and other interstate carriers to be used, and interstate wire communications to be made, in furtherance of the scheme and artifice to defraud, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 1341 and 1343. Background It is relevant to this Indictment that during the time period of the conspiracy: 2. Sterling Currency Group, LLC, which also did business as Sterling Online Processing Services, LLC, and Dinar Banker (collectively, "Sterling"), was a Georgia corporation with its principal place of business in Atlanta, Georgia. Sterling sold and exchanged so-called "exotic currencies", including most predominantly the currency for the country of Iraq, the Iraqi dinar. 3. TYSON RHAME and JAMES SHAW were co-owners of Sterling, which began operations in 2004. FRANK BELL began working for Sterling in 2010 and became Sterling's Chief Operating Officer in 2011. 4. During the course of the conspiracy. Sterling grossed over $600 million in revenue from the sale of Iraqi dinar and other currencies. During this time period, RHAME and SHAW received over $180 million in distributions from Sterling. Sterling's sales were primarily derived from three sources: (1) dinar and other currency sales to individual customers, (2) non-refundable and refundable "layaway orders" whereby customers could put a percentage of money down for the full purchase price of the dinar and other currency, and (3) orders from entities that purchased the dinar and other currencies in bulk (who 2 Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 1 Filed 02/10/16 Page 2 of 41
  • 3.
    were, at varioustimes of the conspiracy, referred to as "high-value customers", "high-risk customers", "resellers", and "agents"). 5. "The GET Team" was the trade name for a group of individuals, led by TERRENCE KELLER, also known as TerryK, who ran a website, an internet chat forum and weekly conference calls in which, among other things, information was disseminated to participants concerning the potential investment value of the Iraqi dinar. KELLER maintained operational control over The GET Team, including its finances and revenue, through a Kentucky corporation named "TCB Group." Manner and Means 6. During the time period of the conspiracy, the Iraqi dinar was touted by some as a potential investment opportunity. For example, in 2010, Sterling's website, which contained videos featuring RHAME and articles written by RHAME, described the potential for the Iraqi dinar to increase in value. Additionally, information publicly available on certain internet websites, blogs, chat rooms, and conference calls fueled the speculation by predicting that a "revaluation" of the Iraqi dinar would occur imminently. A "revaluation" or "RV", in this context, meant a sudden, exponential rise in value of the Iraqi dinar as compared to the U.S. dollar and other relatively stable global currencies. Individuals who owned Iraqi dinar would realize potentially enormous gains if an "RV" ever occurred in this manner. 3 Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 1 Filed 02/10/16 Page 3 of 41
  • 4.
    7. TERRENCE KELLER,through The GET Team, was one of the leading internet-based proponents of the "RV" theory. On The GET Team's website, internet chat forum, and on weekly conference calls, KELLER falsely claimed to have information from, and verified by, high-level confidential sources in the United States government, the Iraqi government, international organizations, and major financial institutions, regarding an imminent "RV." 8. Sterling was one of the largest sellers and currency exchangers of the Iraqi dinar in the United States. Beginning at least as early as 2010, Sterling's business revenue was driven in part by the investment advice touted by TERRENCE KELLER and others, both on the internet and on participating conference calls. In fact, TYSON RHAME, JAMES SHAW, and FRANK BELL, through Sterling, began advertising with The GET Team through a web banner placed on The GET Team's website. A Sterling representative also participated in The GET Team's internet forum and on conference calls with followers. At various times, RHAME and BELL personally participated in The GET Team's conference calls. Followers of The GET Team were on occasion offered a discount coupon and sale price to purchase Iraqi dinar from Sterling. 9. TERRENCE KELLER induced followers of The GET Team into believing his claims about the imminent "RV" of the Iraqi dinar, and about his access to high-level confidential sources, by making material misrepresentations and by omissions of material facts. For instance, KELLER did not have information from, or contact with, high-level confidential sources. Additionally, KELLER 4 Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 1 Filed 02/10/16 Page 4 of 41
  • 5.
    claimed directly andindirectly to followers of The GET Team that he had no financial or other ulterior motive to promote the Iraqi dinar as an investment, but rather, that he was simply disseminating his knowledge and information so that others could benefit from it as well. Religious and patriotic themes were often interwoven into The GET Team's conference calls and internet forums, further solidifying the perception that KELLER was honest, credible and could be trusted. 10. In truth, TERRENCE KELLER had a secret arrangement with TYSON RHAME, JAMES SHAW and FRANK BELL to promote and "pump" the Iraqi dinar in exchange for payments made by Sterling to benefit KELLER. KELLER, RHAME, SHAW, and BELL knew and believed that representations concerning an imminent "RV" of the Iraqi dinar, particularly claims that the information came from one or more supposed high-level confidential sources, would boost sales for Sterling. 11. TERRENCE KELLER affirmatively told his followers that he did not make substantial profits from his dealings with Sterling and other dinar dealers. In actuality, since at least as early as August 2011, Sterling paid KELLER over $160,000. Additionally, since Sterling's partnership with KELLER began in late 2010, KELLER received dinar specials, extensions on layaway sales, and other material benefits from Sterling. Separate from this, KELLER received over $100,000 from at least one other dinar dealer. KELLER consistently downplayed all of these financial benefits to his followers and listeners. 5 Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 1 Filed 02/10/16 Page 5 of 41
  • 6.
    12. The correlationbetween Sterling's increased sales and TERRENCE KELLER'S promotion and "pump" of the Iraqi dinar was further cemented by the presence of a Sterling representative and other dinar dealer representatives, including, at times, TYSON RHAME and FRANK BELL, on The GET Team's conference calls and internet forums. At various times, RHAME, BELL and other Sterling representatives participated in conference calls and internet forums in which KELLER made representations to followers concerning the imminent Iraqi dinar "RV", his access to high-level confidential sources, and claims that he was just trying to be helpful and received no financial benefit for providing this information to others. 13. The presence and participation of TYSON RHAME, FRANK BELL, and other Sterling representatives on The GET Team's conference calls and internet forums provided further validation to followers that KELLER's claims about an imminent "RV" of the Iraqi dinar should be believed. While making no direct representations about the likelihood of an "RV" themselves or offering investment advice to potential investors, RHAME, BELL, and other Sterling representatives assured listeners on The GET Team's conference calls that Sterling was prepared to handle the high volume of Iraqi dinar exchanges that many investors expected would occur immediately after the "RV." 6 Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 1 Filed 02/10/16 Page 6 of 41
  • 7.
    14. Since atleast as early as 2011, RHAME, SHAW, AND BELL established financial relationships with additional promoters, both known and unknown to the Grand Jury, who promoted the notion of an Iraqi dinar revaluation. 15. TYSON RHAME, JAMES SHAW, and FRANK BELL knew and believed that many of Sterling's customers relied upon information from TERRENCE KELLER and these other promoters when making investment decisions regarding the Iraqi dinar, and that much of the information being disseminated by KELLER and the other promoters was materially false. For one, RHAME, SHAW, and BELL never believed that KELLER or the other dinar promoters had the types of high-level sources they repeatedly claimed to have. Furthermore, at the same time that RHAME, SHAW, and BELL told their employees not to speculate or offer investment advice to customers, they knew that KELLER and the other promoters would continue to spread false information about the dinar. 16. TYSON RHAME, JAMES SHAW, and FRANK BELL knew and believed that the pumping activities of TERRENCE KELLER and other dinar promoters (who were oftentimes called "bloggers") were essential to Sterling's financial success. In November 2010, SHAW told an individual that Sterling was the "second largest in US but have been making ground up as we now have the bloggers singing our praises. Almost a little cult like." In December 2010, RHAME told colleagues that KELLER and the GET Team "push 80% of our business these days." By December 2011, the relationship with KELLER had 7 Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 1 Filed 02/10/16 Page 7 of 41
  • 8.
    grown so strongthat, in an internal Sterling email, BELL referred to The GET Team as Sterling's "largest referrer." RHAME, SHAW, and BELL knew and believed that the relationships with KELLER and the other dinar promoters continued to generate Sterling millions of dollars in dinar and other currency sales throughout the course of the conspiracy.

Any and all materials and information provided by the United States to the defendants (hereinafter referred to in this order as “discovery”) are to be used by the defendants and their counsel solely for the purpose of allowing the defendants to prepare their defense, and that none of the defendants, defense Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 33-1 Filed 03/01/16 Page 1 of 4

This ORDER solely governs the defendants and defense teams use of documents produced in this action from the United States. This ORDER does not limit the defendants and defense teams use of documents that they might already possess prior to receiving discovery, or might obtain through other means.

    1 IN THE UNITEDSTATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA ATLANTA DIVISION UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. TYSON RHAME, TERRENCE KELLER, JAMES SHAW, AND FRANK BELL Criminal Action No. 1:16-CR-67-JFK-CMS Government’s Motion for Protective Order for Discovery Material The United States of America, by John A. Horn, United States Attorney, and Thomas J. Krepp, Steven D. Grimberg, and Jamie L. Mickelson, Assistant United States Attorneys for the Northern District of Georgia, hereby moves pursuant to Fed. R. Crim P. 16(d), for a protective order that limits the defendants use and dissemination of information provided in discovery to that which is reasonably necessary to prepare their defense. Specifically, the Government requests an order providing that any discovery materials and all information included in discovery materials (referred to in this order as Adiscovery@), regardless of whether such materials and information are defined as discovery under Rule 16 or already have been Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 33 Filed 03/01/16 Page 1 of 5

    2 produced, that areprovided by the United States to the defendants shall not be further disseminated by any defendant or his counsel to any individuals, organizations, or other entities, other than: (1) members of the defense team (co-counsel, paralegals, investigators, litigation support personnel, Defendant, and secretarial staff); and (2) any experts or consultants retained to assist in the preparation of the defense. The Government further requests an order stating that each defendant, his counsel, and any investigator may show but not provide copies of any discovery to witnesses if it is determined that it is necessary to do so for the purpose of preparing the defense of the case. The Government further requests that all discovery is to be provided and used by each defendant and his counsel solely for the purpose of allowing each defendant to prepare his defense, and that each defendant, defense counsel, or members of the defense teams will not disseminate, disclose, or provide the discovery produced by the United States to anyone who is not necessary to the preparation of the defense. In support of this motion, the Government states that the discovery material in this case is voluminous. Many of these documents contain financial records, including information subject to the Bank Secrecy Act and similar laws, as well as financial and personal information of third parties, including former customers of Sterling Currency Group and followers of the GET Team, which are Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 33 Filed 03/01/16 Page 2 of 5
  • 106.
    3 both further describedin the Indictment. Finally, the discovery contains bank account and personal identifying information of the co-defendants as well as third parties who are not named defendants in this case. Thus, the Government submits that protective measures are necessary to guard against dissemination of confidential business, financial, and other personal information. A protective order is the most reasonable way of balancing the defendants’ need for access to these materials, with the rights of individuals whose information may be reflected in this discovery as well as sensitive Bank Secrecy Act information. The defendants’ respective attorneys have been consulted regarding the Government’s motion and they oppose portions of the attached proposed order.

NO. 1:16-CR-067-SCJ-CMS TYSON RHAME TERRENCE KELLER JAMES SHAW FRANK BELL Defendant, [REVISED 02/17/2010] O R D E R I. A pretrial conference shall be held in this case on March 11, 2016 at 9:45 a.m., before the undersigned Magistrate Judge in Courtroom 1810, 18th Floor, United States Courthouse, 75 Ted Turner Drive, S.W., Atlanta, Georgia 30303. Counsel who will actually handle the trial of the case must be present. The defendant need not be present. N.D. Ga. CrR. 17.1. Please note that it shall be the responsibility of Defendant’s counsel to notify the office of the undersigned and counsel for the Government if no pretrial motions shall be filed and/or no pretrial conference is required. II. Prior to the above-scheduled conference, the following shall occur: Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 41 Filed 03/03/16 Page 1 of 17
  • 128.
    2 A. The partiesshall confer regarding the probable disposition of the case, scheduling problems, resolution of issues related to discovery production and the mechanics thereof, possible motions, and possible stipulations of law and fact, pursuant to N.D. Ga. CrR. 12.1D. B. Upon the defendant’s request, the government shall permit the defendant to inspect and copy discoverable matter, including but not limited to, all Rule 16 materials, all search warrants and affidavits, consent forms for any searches that the defendant arguably has standing to challenge, Miranda rights and waiver of Miranda rights forms, and photographs from which identification of the defendant was made. If the government has discoverable materials not immediately available locally, it shall advise the defendant of the existence and nature of the items. N.D. Ga. CrR. 16.1. In accordance with FED. R. CRIM. P. 12(b)(4), the government shall enumerate and describe with particularity the existence and nature of all items seized during any search that the defendant arguably has standing to challenge, including specifying where such items were seized during said search.1 Where reciprocal discovery is 1 Pursuant to N.D. Ga. CrR. 16.1, at arraignment the government is required to provide the defendant with an inventory of all items seized from the defendant by law enforcement officials which the government expects to introduce at trial. The government SHALL furnish the affected defendant with such an inventory. Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 41 Filed 03/03/16 Page 2 of 17
  • 129.
    3 requested by thegovernment, the attorney for the defendant shall personally advise the defendant of the request, the defendant’s obligations thereto, and the possibility of sanctions, including exclusion of any such evidence from trial, for failure to comply with the Rule. See FED. R. CRIM. P. 16(b) and (d); N.D. Ga. CrR. 16.1. C. A party desiring to inspect and copy any materials which were not available initially shall be permitted to do so in accordance with the Local Rules. N.D. Ga. CrR. 16.1. D. All discovery of materials known by the parties or their agents to exist shall be completed within the times contemplated by this order unless a modifying order is entered upon motion made under N.D. Ga. CrR. 16.1 or FED. R. CRIM. P. 16(d). The parties shall document, independent of their personal recollection, compliance with requests and orders for discovery. III. Filing Pretrial Motions The parties are reminded that pretrial disclosure in criminal cases generally is governed by FED. R. CRIM. P. 16 or pursuant to case law, such as Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963), and that the government ordinarily has no basis upon which to object. The local rules require any party seeking relief through a motion to confer with opposing counsel in an attempt to resolve disputed matters prior to the filing of Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 41 Filed 03/03/16 Page 3 of 17
  • 130.
    4 motions related thereto.N.D. Ga. CrR. 12.1.D. Moreover, FED. R. CRIM. P. 16 directs that the government must produce discoverable material upon only a “request” of the defendant. Therefore, counsel are DIRECTED to NOT file any motion for materials or information or other relief that: (1) the opposing party has agreed to provide, or (2) the party is entitled to inspect and copy under applicable criminal rules and case law, UNLESS the attorney certifies to the court in writing that: (1) the materials have been requested from the opposing party or the motion for other relief has been discussed with the counsel for the opposing party, and (2) the opposing counsel declines to provide the materials/information/relief requested. If counsel believes it is necessary to document what is requested from, or agreed to by, the government, he or she may do so by letter to opposing counsel, without filing or copying such letter with the Court. Counsel also may re-label his or her standard motions as “Requests” and serve them on opposing counsel, but NOT file them with the Clerk’s Office or the Court. Or, counsel may file with the Clerk a certification that the defendant had served the government with a discovery request, and keep the original discovery request in his or her file, to be filed with the Clerk only upon the need to use the request in court, similar to the practice in civil cases. See N.D. Ga. R. 5.4 and 26.3. Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 41 Filed 03/03/16 Page 4 of 17
  • 131.
    5 The Court WILLdiscuss any such requests at the pretrial conference. The requests, certificates or letters may later be used to support a motion for sanctions or to compel, if the opposing party fails to comply with his or her legal obligations or agreements. See FED. R. CRIM. P. 16(d)(2). If, after consultation and failure to reach an agreement with opposing counsel, counsel files a motion for materials or information outside the scope of FED. R. CRIM. P. 16 and relevant case law, he or she shall do so ONLY by making a particularized showing that relates to the facts of this case. IV. Standard Rulings The following rulings are made in this case and are intended only to obviate the need for standard, non-particularized motions on these subjects. Any party who disagrees with these standard rulings may file, within the time allowed for filing motions, see N.D. Ga. CrR. 12.1(B), a particularized motion for relief therefrom, including a motion to compel or for a protective order. A. Discovery Materials: Upon request of the defendant, the government is directed to provide to the defendant all materials and information falling within the scope of FED. R. CRIM. P. 16 and N.D. Ga. CrR. 16.1, including but not limited to an inventory of all items seized from the defendant by law enforcement officials which Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 41 Filed 03/03/16 Page 5 of 17

    6 the government intendsto introduce at trial. The government has a continuing duty to disclose any evidence that is subject to discovery or inspection. United States v. Jordan, 316 F.3d 1215, 1249 (11th Cir. 2003); FED. R. CRIM. P. 16(c). B. Discovery and Disclosure of Evidence Arguably Subject to Suppression and of Evidence Which is Exculpatory and/or Impeaching: Upon request of the defendant, the government is directed to comply with FED. RS. CRIM. P. 12 and 16, by providing notice as specified in section II.B, supra. The government also is directed to provide all materials and information that are arguably favorable to the defendant in compliance with its obligations under Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963); Giglio v. United States, 405 U.S. 150 (1972); and their progeny. Exculpatory material as defined in Brady and Kyles v. Whitley, 514 U.S. 419, 434 (1995), shall be provided sufficiently in advance of trial to allow a defendant to use it effectively. Impeachment material must be provided no later than production of the Jencks Act statements. C. Rule 404(b): Upon request of the defendant, the government is directed to provide to the defense a summary of any evidence it intends to offer of other crimes, wrongs or acts pursuant to FED. R. EVID. 404(b). The 404(b) evidence shall be provided to the defense as soon as practicable after the government has Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 41 Filed 03/03/16 Page 6 of 17

    7 determined to usesuch evidence, subject to the following deadlines: If the 404(b) evidence pertains to acts or conduct of the defendant which is alleged to have occurred within the Northern District of Georgia, the summary required to be provided under this heading and the rule shall be provided no later than fourteen (14) days before trial. If the acts or conduct is alleged to have occurred outside the Northern District of Georgia, the summary required to be provided under this heading shall be provided no later than twenty-one (21) days before trial. D. Preservation of Evidence and Handwritten Notes of Agents: The government is directed to preserve all evidence and handwritten notes of law enforcement officers pertaining to this case and the defendant. Notwithstanding this provision, if the government wishes to destroy contraband drug evidence in conformance with the procedures set forth in 28 C.F.R. § 50.21, the government must first give each affected defendant notice in writing of the intended contraband destruction. Said notice shall not be given earlier than fourteen (14) days after the entry of this Order. Any defendant shall have fourteen (14) days after the date of the notice to file a written objection to the proposed contraband destruction. If no objections are filed and the government otherwise has complied with any applicable Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 41 Filed 03/03/16 Page 7 of 17

Examination and Testing of Physical Evidence: The defendant shall be allowed to examine and test physical evidence under reasonable conditions which maintain the integrity of the evidence. F. Monitored Phone Calls of an In-Custody and All Electronic Recordings of Defendant: The government shall disclose to the defendant if it has heard, used, or intends to use, any monitored phone calls made by the defendant while in custody, and shall disclose to defendant all electronic monitoring of the defendant in accordance with FED. R. CRIM. P. 16 and 18 U.S.C. § 2500, et seq. (Title III). A defendant is not entitled to the recorded conversations of co-defendants or others to which he/she was not a party, unless required to be produced by Rule 16, the Jencks Act, or Brady and/or Giglio. G. Identification Materials: The government shall disclose to the defense the circumstances under which any photographic or lineup identification of the 2 The government is reminded that the provisions of this Order apply only to parties presently before the Court and not to defendants who have not been apprehended or who are subsequently charged in this case.

Charts and Summaries: The government shall produce any charts or summaries to be used in its opening statement or presentation of its case-in-chief at trial no later than three (3) business days before trial. The defendant shall produce any charts and summaries to be used in his or her opening statement no later than three (3) business days before trial. All other charts and summaries shall be produced to the other party at least one (1) business day prior to their use. As used in this paragraph, the term “summaries” excludes summaries of expert testimony which must be disclosed upon request under FED. R. CRIM. P. 16(a)(1)(G); expert summaries are due to be disclosed in the time provided for discovery. I. Jencks Act (18 U.S.C. § 3500): The Court has no authority to order the government to provide Jencks Act material at any time prior to the completion of direct examination of the government witness at issue. Jordan, 316 F.3d at 1227 n.17, 1251 & n.78. The Court strongly encourages the government to disclose Jencks Act material before the pretrial hearing or trial at which the witness will be called to testify. Any agreement between the parties to provide early Jencks Act Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 41 Filed 03/03/16 Page 9 of 17

    10 material may bememorialized orally at the pretrial conference or by letter agreement between the parties. The government is ORDERED to comply with the Jencks Act. J. Names of Unindicted Co-Conspirators: If there is a conspiracy count in the indictment or if the government intends to rely on FED. R. EVID. 801(d)(2)(E) to introduce co-conspirator statements, the government is directed to provide the defendant with the names of unindicted co-conspirators known to the government, but not with statements made by co-conspirators or with their address or other identifying information, unless required by the Jencks Act, Brady and/or Giglio. K. Identification of Government Witnesses: Upon request of the defendant, the government is required to provide the names of all expert witnesses, along with other information and materials required by FED. R. CRIM. P. 16(a)(1)(F) and (G) and FED. RS. EVID. 702, 703, and 705. No party is required to provide a list of its other witnesses in advance of trial unless otherwise compelled by law. The Court will entertain a motion for a witness list only if it is particularized to the facts of this case. L. Bruton Issues: The government shall disclose to the defendant and the Court whether it anticipates introduction at trial of a co-defendant’s statement that inculpates the defendant, within the meaning of Bruton v.

    11 123 (1968). Atthe pretrial conference, the government shall be prepared to announce whether, if both defendants opted to go to trial, they could not be tried jointly since the co-defendant’s statements could not be properly redacted to comply with the Supreme Court’s directive in Gray v. Maryland, 523 U.S. 185 (1998). M. Motions to Sever Defendants Under FED. R. CRIM. P. 14(a) Due to Prejudicial Overspill: Severance under FED. R. CRIM. P. 14 where there is an allegation of undue prejudice from a joint trial due to prejudicial “overspill” is warranted only when a defendant demonstrates that a joint trial will result in “specific and compelling prejudice” to his or her defense. Compelling prejudice occurs when the jury is unable, even after proper instruction from the trial court, “to separately appraise the evidence as to each defendant and render a fair and impartial verdict.” United States v. Liss, 265 F.3d 1220, 1228 (11th Cir. 2001). The trial court is empowered to sever defendants or counts after the commencement of the trial under Rule 14 if manifest necessity so requires. United States v. Butler, 41 F.3d 1435, 1441 (11th Cir. 1995). Therefore, any motion for severance on grounds of prejudicial overspill should not be filed unless it sets out specific, individualized grounds as to why the defendant is unduly prejudiced by a joint trial with others.

    12 N. Reserving Rightto File Additional or Out-of-Time Motions: Motions for an extension of time to file pretrial motions are not granted as a matter of right, but must be based on good cause shown. Any motion to file additional or out-of- time motions must contain a particularized statement of the existence of good cause to file such a motion, must identify the specific motion or motions that may be filed, a statement of the position of opposing counsel, and be accompanied by a proposed order which includes appropriate language excluding any delay under the Speedy Trial Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3161, et seq. O. Motion to Adopt Motions of Co-Defendants: No motion to adopt one or more motions of a co-defendant shall be filed unless it is accompanied by a statement specifically demonstrating the standing of the adopting party to seek the relief requested in each motion sought to be adopted. A motion to adopt shall only seek to adopt a single motion of a co-defendant; moving to adopt multiple motions, even of the same co-defendant, requires the filing of a separate motion to adopt as to each motion. As to any motion sought to be adopted, the adopting defendant must either (1) specifically identify the motion sought to be adopted by its docket number in CM/ECF (preferred); or (2) include as an attachment to the motion to adopt a copy of at least the front page of the motion sought to be adopted. The motion must Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 41 Filed 03/03/16 Page 12 of 17

    13 otherwise comply withthe requirements of N.D. Ga. CrR. 12.1.C. Any motions to adopt not filed in compliance with this paragraph shall be denied. P. Motion for Reciprocal Discovery: If the defendant has requested discovery, upon request of the government following its compliance with its FED. R. CRIM. P. 16(a)(1)(E) obligations, the defendant is required to provide discovery materials and information in accordance with FED. R. CRIM. P. 16(b) and N.D. Ga. CrR. 16.1. Subject to the above instructions: (1) Unless otherwise extended by the undersigned or the District Judge to whom this case is assigned for trial, the parties shall file with the Clerk within (14) fourteen days after arraignment any necessary pretrial motions pursuant to N.D. Ga. CrR. 12.1A and B and 16.1 and N.D. Ga. R. 5.1.A, 7, 10 and 11. (2) Each motion other than a motion to adopt shall contain a certification that counsel conferred with opposing counsel concerning the subject matter of the motion but was unable to reach agreement on the resolution of the issue therein. N.D. Ga. CrR. 12.1D. V. Procedure at Pretrial Conference A. Government counsel shall be prepared to discuss: 1. The circumstances surrounding any arrest of the defendant; Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 41 Filed 03/03/16 Page 13 of 17

The circumstances surrounding any statements made by the defendant to law enforcement or other government agents; and 4. The circumstances surrounding any searches or seizures that resulted in evidence that the Government intends to use against the defendant. 5. Whether it intends to introduce any evidence pursuant to FED. R. EVID. 404(b). 6. Whether it intends to introduce any expert testimony. B. Where possible, the undersigned will rule orally on any motions that have been filed. The rulings will be noted on the docket sheets and the docket of the case. C. Evidentiary hearings will be scheduled. D. Counsel also shall be prepared to discuss the following: 1. Evidentiary and other legal issues they anticipate may arise at trial; 2. Probability of disposition of the case without trial; 3. Problems relating to the scheduling of trial; and 4. Whether any facts can be stipulated. E. Failure to respond to a motion after being directed to do so within fourteen (14) days thereafter or at such time as set by the Magistrate Judge may be considered as indicating there is no opposition to the motion.

    15 F. Failure bya party to raise defenses or objections or make motions as specified in FED. R. CRIM. P. 12(b)(3)(A)-(D) shall constitute a waiver thereof, unless good cause for such failure is shown.3 G. When a party fails to supplement or perfect a motion within the time afforded after having requested or been given an opportunity to supplement or perfect said motion, the Court may deem the original motion abandoned or withdrawn. VI. Rescheduling of the Pretrial Conference The pretrial conference may be continued only by order of the Court. A party seeking to continue a pretrial conference must first confer with all other counsel representing parties in this case to determine whether all parties consent to the continuance. If all parties consent to the rescheduling of the pretrial conference, the party seeking the continuance should then contact the undersigned Magistrate Judge’s Courtroom Deputy Clerk to request to reschedule the pretrial conference, and if said request is granted, to set a new date and time for the conference. 3 A motion is not necessary to protect a party’s right to Rule 16 discovery materials and information so long as the party seeking protection complies with the procedure set forth in this Order. See FED. R. CRIM. P. 12(b)(3)(E). Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 41 Filed 03/03/16 Page 15 of 17
  • 142.
    16 If a partyseeking to continue a pretrial conference cannot obtain the consent of all parties in this case, a written motion specifying the reasons for the continuance must be filed with the Clerk and a courtesy copy served on the undersigned at least one (1) business day prior to the pretrial conference. Any consent continuance or motion to continue the pretrial conference shall be accompanied by a proposed order which includes the following: (1) a place for the entry of any rescheduled date and time to hold the pretrial conference, and (2) the following language for the Court’s consideration: ( ) The delay between the original and rescheduled pretrial conferences shall be excluded from Speedy Trial Act calculations because the Court finds that the reason for the delay was for good cause and the interests of justice in granting the continuance outweigh the public’s and the defendant’s rights to a speedy trial. 18 U.S.C. § 3161, et seq. ( ) The delay between the original and rescheduled pretrial conferences shall not be excluded for Speedy Trial Act purposes. 18 U.S.C. § 3161, et seq. ( ) The Court finds that due to the extensive discovery in this case, it was necessary to extend the time for the defendants to file pretrial motions, and accordingly, postpone the holding of the initial pretrial conference. The Court finds that the interests of justice in continuing the pretrial motions deadline and in holding the pretrial conference substantially outweigh the interests of the public and defendants in the speedy resolution of this matter, and thus the Clerk is directed to count as excludable any delay occurring in extending the motions deadline and the holding of the pretrial conference. 18 U.S.C. § 3161, et seq.

On February 10, 2016, the defendants were indicted on mail and wire fraud charges as well as on charges of money laundering. 2. On February 22, 2016, the defendants were arraigned and released on bond. At arraignment, the government provided partial discovery consisting of 4 discs entitled: • “E-MAIL-SW-000001 to 001113;; INTV – DEFENDANT-0001 to 0020; and SW-000001 to 002468” Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 47 Filed 03/07/16 Page 1 of 5

    2 • “Rhame Interview6-3-15” • “Frank Bell Interview May 28, 2015” • “Frank Bell Interview June 3, 2015” 3. In its discovery letter, the government indicated that discovery is voluminous and that defendants each needed to provide five 3-terabyte hard drives and one 1- terabyte hard drive for the remaining discovery material. These hard drives have been provided to the government. The government is in the process of transferring the discovery data to the drives for production to defense counsel. 4. The government also proposed a protective Order governing the treatment of the discovery. The parties are currently working to resolve the language of the Order which will govern potentially sensitive data. 5. In addition, the defendants are currently determining the best way to copy, store, and manage the volume of discovery. For example, the volume of discovery in this case exceeds the entire office storage capacity of Federal Defender Program, Inc. by two and one-half times. Defense counsel is actively discussing with the government and each other the best ways to coordinate and eliminate duplication and the logistics of storing and reviewing the data once turned over.

The deadline forpretrial motions pursuant to Rule 12 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure and Order of this Court is March 7, 2016, with the pretrial conference set for March 11, 2016. 7. Through undersigned counsel, the parties respectfully request that the Court continue the pretrial motions deadline and continue the date for the pretrial conference. Specifically, the parties request that the motions deadline and pretrial conference be reset to March 28, 2016, with the understanding that, at the conference, the parties will propose a motions deadline, update the court on the discovery production, and raise any other issues of concern. This extension will hopefully allow for the resolution of the protective Order, the production of some (if not all) of the voluminous discovery, and the ability for defense counsel to better assess a realistic motions deadline. Counsel for Mr. Keller has conferred with counsel for each co-defendant and is authorized to report that they join this motion. 8. Undersigned counsel is authorized to report that the Government does not oppose this motion. Case 1:16-cr-00067-SCJ-CMS Document 47 Filed 03/07/16 Page 3 of 5
