Judge Curbs Aimee Bock’s Access to Case Files After Alleged Leaks

The order seeks to protect sensitive witness records before her May 21 sentencing.

Overview

  • Judge Nancy Brasel ruled that Bock can see protected case files only with her lawyer present and ordered password changes, deletions, and a list of what was sent following Thursday’s hearing.
  • Prosecutors say recorded jail calls show Bock told a son to pull files from her Dropbox, remove exhibit stickers, and send them under a false name using ProtonMail.
  • The government says the leaks included FBI FD-302s, which are interview summaries, and other witness transcripts that could put cooperators at risk in upcoming trials.
  • Brasel declined a request to block Bock’s contact with her two adult sons but barred her from asking anyone to access or share the protected documents.
  • Sentencing is set for May 21 in the roughly $250 million fraud case, and Bock’s lawyer denies she leaked files and casts her outreach as an effort to clear her name.
