I agree with her subsequent prosecution and conviction for money laundering. She's a criminal.

I would say about 90% of federal defendants plead to less than they did and keep substantial proceeds hidden. Let's face it, even if it were possible to find out all that the average fraudster did, we do not have enough resources to investigate it all thoroughly.

Plea no contest and go home or stay in jail and wait for a cop to testify how you took "combative stance" or some other nonsense. 100% chance that person is poor and mostly minority. Years later KMM will make those NC pleas sound like you were a one-man crime wave.
