Don't conflate the 2 investigations / prosecutions.
SEC is a civil suit seeking $10M restitution / fine. That is still on-going. Don't worry, they have ALL the dirt on him.
(It is amazing how much interwebz evidence Garbanzo left behind, LOL.)
US DOJ is prosecuting the Scum Bag for criminal wire fraud.
Apparently even one count of wire fraud carries quite a large sentence, so a plea deal was reached, which will still send his sorry butt to the can for a while.
It's gonna be SA-WEET to see them march his @$$ out of the courtroom in shackles.
How about money laundering for terrorists What happened to that?
