Mangione said during his arraignment, “I don’t know where all that money came from,” referring to “$8,000 in cash [and] $2,000 in foreign currency” that law enforcement claimed was on his person. Prosecution also referenced a “faraday bag” as part of their argument that Mangione engaged in “criminal sophistication”, while Mangione claimed the bag were merely “waterproof”. This was part of a larger argument to deny Mangione bail.
Edit: apologies for the TikTok, but I removed tracking from the URL and it comes from the official CNN TikTok.
The reporter mentions toward the end of the video that the ghost gun, silencer, and bag were described as "criminal sophistication" but it's unclear if they were brought up during the bail arguments, or if that's something that was referenced previously. He also mentions that Mangione said "I don't know about any of this criminal sophistication" which could be a blanket denial of all those items or just expressing disagreement with their conclusions.
Really would like a transcript to clear all this up.
