The fact that he held millions worth and didn't sell will probably help him in some way. Nah, it won't make any difference. They're interested in what he DID do, not what he didn't. As for ending up in the hospital because he didn't have "staff" to bring him a glass of water, well... One of the things I find particularly interesting is that evidently the SEC refused to settle. That's very unusual for them. I wonder what it means.
