I'm pretty sure he's trying to ruin her career for good, ala "scorched earth strategy." She admits in her diary that she feels incompetent for leadership, having a natural tendency to defer.. etc. Now no firm will ever think about hiring her in an important position.

What hypothetical firm would say, "she pleaded guilty to multiple felony fraud charges, but hey, let's give her a chance anyway. Wait, what's this? She wrote in her diary that she has doubts about her leadership ability? Never mind!"

  I'm pretty sure that part of her plea bargain with the SEC charges will be a lifetime ban from the financial industry and its unlikely any other major company would hire her either. I think the best path forward is probably memoir and the redemption story circuit and maybe some kind of fraudster turned consultant gig. I'm sure there are already agents trying to get her to auction TV and Film rights to her side of the story.

    > "fraudster turned consultant gig" This is exactly what I meant and it happens too often. If she doesn't serve much if any time for this, she continues her career as an "expert" and that's not enough of a punishment. She's just as guilty as Sam Bankman-Fried. That she cooperated is irrelevant. That she plays dumb should make it worse for her. She will not be sentenced until the investigation is completed and her cooperation is no longer required. I'm hoping they make the right call and give her at least the same as him.

  Are you even a leader in fintech if you’ve done zero crimes?

  Martin Shkreli comes to mind. I think he joined a large company's advisory team even after the uproar, but before his conviction. If you have the intellectual chops and enough charisma I don't think the finance world cares that much. Probably because cheating is commonplace in finance.
