The defense team argued that the Crazy Billy alias was not a valid defense for the defendants because it is merely a trading name, not an individual. The handle was intended to emphasize that the company sold low-priced goods. Peterson further argued that the alias was a marketing device used in questions to witnesses by the Assistant United States Attorney. Finally, the defense argued that Peterson’s use of a trading name is prejudicial.
