Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that in the settlement the SEC is basically placing a gag order on JB so he cannot even defend himself or speak of it anywhere.
if he wanted to DEFEND himself, and be fully exonerated, he should have not settled, and taken it to a trial.....you can't have your cake and eat it too....
GAG ORDER???...who said he can't speak of it anywhere???....the settlement says he/they can't deny the allegations of the complaint..... obviously it can be spoken of, but in the context stipulated within the settlement agreement....
the terms of the settlement are in no way a GAG ORDER, unless one considers not being able to deny fraud (as agreed) a "gag"!!!
