> Bob maintains that his business was perfectly legal. He would have happily proved that in court if not for the severe penalties he was facing. He's so adamant about this that he wrote an entire book defending himself and attacking the SEC for its accusations. Bob chose silence in order to avoid going to court. If he doesn't want to be bound by that agreement, he can renege on it. I have a beef with SEC settlements, but this ain't it.
