Framingham Unfiltered —
Update filed June 10, 2025 @ 6 p.m.
Federal court dockets flipped faster than a washed refund check this week: every one of the “Framingham Three” is now out on bond, ankle monitors optional, while prosecutors quietly prep a grand‑jury indictment.
The new scoreboard
| Defendant | Alleged Haul | Release Status (as of 6/10) | Top Bond Terms |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gurprit Singh (34) | $2.55 M | Released 6/6 after first appearance | Surrender passport • No witness contact • Out‑patient mental‑health check‑ins • Standard drug/alcohol ban from ‘excessive’ use |
| Amarpreet Singh (33) | $536 K | Released 6/9 under GPS‑curfew & passport surrender | Nightly curfew • GPS ankle tether • No witness contact |
| Domingo Villari (49) | $1.29 M | Released 6/9 on unsecured bond, no GPS | Must stay put at current address • No firearms • No witness contact |
(Brockton fugitive Gino Allegra remains missing; everyone else in the eight‑defendant sweep has now seen the inside of a courtroom.)
What changed?
- Prosecutors still won’t ask for detention. For the third straight hearing AUSA Kriss Basil told Judge Jennifer Boal that supervised release, not jail, would “reasonably assure” appearances.
- Probable‑cause hearings waived across the board. Each defendant gave up the right to challenge the complaint up front, speeding the case toward grand‑jury review within 30 days.
- Tiers of trust. Only Amarpreet drew a GPS strap; Villari dodged it entirely; Gurprit got passport‑surrender plus mental‑health follow‑up. The bond math hints that agents already have the paper trail nailed down.
Quick hits from the paperwork
- Gurprit’s fine print: Must “continue outpatient mental‑health treatment at Advocates in Framingham” and steer clear of alcohol or unauthorized meds. Violations invite a fast‑track trip back to Wyatt.
- Sealed seconds: Judge Boal briefly sealed the recording during Villari’s appearance when finances were discussed—suggesting his claimed indigence didn’t square with that $1.29 million check cache.
- Brady orders issued in triplicate, reminding the feds they must cough up any exculpatory evidence. Defense lawyers will start digging for chain‑of‑custody gaps on the altered checks.
What happens next
- Indictment clock—T‑minus 26 days. Expect a single superseding indictment bundling all eight defendants with added counts (bank fraud & money‑laundering enhancements are likely).
- Asset freeze watch. Court filings show no cash bonds posted; look for the government to slap lis pendens on property tied to Café H Inc., Beattie Roofing, and Flipp Construction before the forfeiture window closes.
- Will someone flip? History says first out on GPS often turns state’s evidence first. Amarpreet’s counsel, CJA‑panel veteran Michael Cloherty, is known for early‑bird proffer sessions.
Bottom line (v2.0)
Our June 9 post had Gurprit still “in custody”—turns out he walked the same afternoon with a stack of bond papers thicker than a Treasury checkbook. As of tonight, all three Framingham defendants are home, counting the seconds until the grand jury calls their number. Whether they spend the next decade in Fort Dix or just repay the IRS with interest now hinges on what the indictment—and any plea talks—reveal about who forged the payee lines, who intercepted the mail, and who squeals first.
Stay tuned: we’ll post the indictment the moment its available —and we’ll keep score on every cooperation deal, property lien, and ankle‑monitor beep.
