I am wondering more if you’re the one with the head injury. So where does the malfeasance of a company’s wrongdoing lie, if not with the *owner* of that company? Or are you suggesting that since Haslem founded Flying V, his lackeys should take all responsibility for any subsequent fraud? Wow.

26CornerBlitz Posted September 7, 2018 Author Share Posted September 7, 2018 Mychal Kendricks pleads guilty to insider trading charges PHILADELPHIA -- Former Cleveland Browns linebacker Mychal Kendricks has pleaded guilty to insider trading charges in a Philadelphia courtroom. The 27-year-old told the judge on Thursday he knows he was wrong and entered the guilty plea because "it's the right thing to do." He faces up to 25 years in prison when he's sentenced in December.

No chance in hell he sees that kind of time. He pays a massive fine for sure. Maybe does 18 months if they feel like being harsh. Now...if he stole 5k sticking up a liquor store he'd do 15. The lesson? If you are going to steal, use a computer not a gun. On 8/30/2018 at 12:48 PM, row_33 said: he made over a million according to the charges and won't divulge where the profits went (he spent them....) so he's in big trouble, and isn't cooperating If he simply spent them he's divulge that. It's more likely he re-invested the proceeds and has since made a crap ton more money that would be subject to forfeiture. Keep quiet, claim it was your football money, get to keep it.

How can that hurt the cap next season? is he going to be sentenced during the season? If not, I don’t see any problem with improving our weak LB Corp. especially for depth purposes. He wouldn’t have signed here anyway, but I see no reason for anyone to be against a 1 year deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I’ve read, he is sentenced in December, but there is some fluidity as to when he starts serving. He’ll most likely see the entire season. Im also reading a lot that there is a good chance he serves zero time. If he does, it will be ~6 months, but only end up serving 2-3. He’ll be out in time for the 2019 season, if not 2019 OTA’s. Either way, it’s a one year deal, and he’ll almost certainly be available for the entirety of the season. Just for perspective, Michael Irvin stabbed a teammate, Ray Lewis and Marvin Harrison killed a guy, and kept on playing, receiving multiple other contracts. Nobody really batted much of an eye at that. Edited September 14, 2018 by Mango 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t find it right now, but basically it comes down to what was said in the text messages and precise wording. Basically the difference between “Yo, I got a deal for you, send me 80k and you’ll thank me later” and “Hey, I have some insider info, let’s make some money, don’t tell anybody, this isn’t above board, I could go to jail”. If Kendrick didn’t know about the insider info until the transaction went through, he’ll get a slap on the wrist, and a HUGE fine. But little to no time. The fact that he already plead guilty gives way to the idea that he has a plea deal in place already. They’ll cut Kendrick’s loose in exchange to nail Sonoiki, who by all accounts has been giving insider info to multiple people. For cases like this, in order to be fully charged, Kendrick’s has to be fully aware that he is trading with insider info from the start of the transaction in order to serve time. So far that’s unclear, which means it’s very possible he serves little to no time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. From the sounds of it, the feds have enough to fine and give very minor jail time to what is probably a dozen or more people. Just based on the system Sonoiki had in place in terms of distancing himself with a middle man. That’s why wording is incredibly important here for those conversations. The feds would rather cut stuff like this off at the head, rather than waste their time on a bunch of small timers in the grand scheme of things. It’s not just a would you rather, it’s incredibly costly and time consuming to “prove” Kendrick’s had full knowledge at the time of the transaction that this was insider trading. The burden of proof is incredible. So they’ll fine him a ton, in exchange for Sonoiki and the bigger business.
