    I’ll be very annoyed when he’s probably just sentenced to mansion house arrest, but for now I’ll accept this good news.

      This guy didn’t just steal from little traders, he tried to pull a fast one on his overlords as well. He made the same mistake Madoff did. He’s going away for a long time.

        Fair point, but maybe he’s another one of these people who will get special considerations for information about larger companies that a government needs for evidence.

        Who knows? I ought to stop cynically speculating, but the world is making it hard not to.

        I do hope he’s another Shkreli though, who annoyed the old money boomers with his ostentatious nouveau riche antics enough to become their poster-manchild for their “See? Bad things do (sometimes) happen to bad rich people!” campaigns.

      I think it looks doubtful at this point.

      His co-conspirators perhaps? However from what I’ve heard he won’t because he didn’t plead guilty and a few other things probably means it’s coming down harder.

      I ain’t no lawyer, but I understand your sentiment. I’m still awaiting Trump to face some sort of consequence.
