Does the SEC participate in plea deals?
I ask, because those numbers for Bennie and the imbecile Jeffy are awfully low. I mean, Bennie actively recruited idiots to buy NTEK stock, and was well-paid for his efforts. Or is it normal for the SEC to slap the hands of corrupt stock promoters?
I mean, a couple hundred grand each is easily accomplished for most adults, just by second-mortgaging the house. Not pleasant, but not like the David money, which he won't be paying back in this or even the next lifetime.
There's still time for David to claim his wife is an idiot that he used in furtherance of his scheme, and try to get some measure of forgiveness for her out of the system. Sure, it's her name on Royal Capital, but he can say she'd just sign any piece of paper he put in front of her.
'Cause he's done, right? He can at least show a drop of class and protect his wife, whom he dragged into a criminal scheme that never had any chance of success at all.
