They do what's called a pretrial intervention.

You pay back the money.

We're going to put you on probation for like four years.

And in the process of this—

Well, it's kind of like probation.

They never indict him.

He never gets a felony or anything.

He just has to pay back the million dollars that they say he owes.

And you know how he did that?

He started another Ponzi scheme and used that money to pay this back and never gets indicted for that.

So there are multiple accounts where I know of guys that cooperated.

And with a good attorney, they went in and they said, look—

This is what's happening.

He's a good guy.

He made a mistake.

Let's let him cooperate against the people that are bad guys and let's keep him from being indicted.

And they've done that and then they never get indicted.

In my case, when I first got arrested, I went to my attorney.

He was like, you haven't been indicted yet.

If you go and turn over like five of your brokers, and this is my first case, by the way, because I've had a couple cases.
