NO ONE ever ever ever commits a CLASS C "FELONY" offense and skates on being :
1) ARRESTED
2) BOOKED
3) FORMALLY ARRAIGNED before a FEDERAL magistrate aka judge and in this case - POSTED BOND on condition of "FORMAL PRE-TRIAL RELEASE" up to and including surrendering his passport AND having a "firearms relinquish" hearing aka GIVE UP ANY GUNS IN HIS OWNERSHIP and POSSESSION !!
Quote: " co-defendant Mark Allen Miller, 44, of Breezy Point, also pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit securities fraud"
GUILTY PLEA - "FEDERAL SECURITIES FRAUD" aka FEDERAL CRIMINAL FELONY "CLASS C" which can carry "UP TO" 20 yrs in a damn FEDERAL PEN !!
"Under federal law, the crime of Securities Fraud is a Class C felony, punishable by up to twenty years in prison, three years of supervised release, and $5 million in fines. Additionally, disgorgement of any profits will be ordered and any property obtained from the proceeds of the offense can be confiscated."
Trust me - MILLER WAS ARRESTED and BOOKED which means fingerprints + mugshot + DNA sample + entered into the national crime database and "run" for USA based crimes and even "off-shore" crimes !!
PERIOD - end of bullshit misinformation propagation :)
