But the problem is, she wasn't convicted for the bad deal. She was convicted for lying to the police during their investigation.
she was convicted for being arrogant.
She could have even avoided criminal prosecution by disgorging all profits and offering to turn over the stock as a civil penalty with no admission.
She also spoke without her lawyer to Federal investigators. SUPER arrogant.
If I am not mistaken, she is still being sued civilly.
It is not just the 5months, she is a convicted felon. She is off any publicly traded corporation board, she is gone as a licensed broker.
