He went too far with regulatory shenanigans - nearly a decade ago, and paid a big price (lost the company he built and loved, personally paid half a million in fines). People do stupid/risky things when young/desperate, and most learn and grow. That seems to be the case here and is normal and healthy. Not every case of wrongdoing is equivalent to the worst known/imaginable cases of wrongdoing.
