PONZI SCHEMER ILLARRAMENDI'S §2255 PETITION APPEARS TO BE ABANDONED

Francisco Illarramendi

If you were wondering whatever happened to convicted Ponzi schemer Francisco Illarramendi's §2255 Motion to Vacate or Correct Illegal Sentence, which was filed back in 2016, it appears to have have been abandoned. Back in January of this year, the Court allowed the petitioner to secure the assistance of an attorney to represent him, but he has not done so, and the passage of six months seems to indicate that he has lost interest, or realized that his case has no merit at law.

Alternatively, Illarramendi was a difficult client during his Federal criminal case, and he went through a number of attorneys. He may be having a very difficult time obtaining counsel, as word may have gotten around among the Connecticut Federal criminal defense bar.
