What crime were you convicted of?



I worked on Wall St (actually had my own firm), and committed securities violations. I was stone guilty. Paid everyone back, but I had it coming. Lost everything: family, friends, all my considerable possessions, my freedom (fed prison for a couple of years). When I was released, I was destitute and homeless. But I discovered my calling in life: helping my brothers and sisters in and out of prison so that they might have the opportunity to lead a safe and productive life.


Does it matter? He served his time and/or paid a fine. If he didn't meet the random friend in HS it would be ridiculous hard to get a job.


No, but it’s still a curiosity. Why are you so defensive?


Why would you want information that has no value in the discussion?


Again, for curiosity.
