Like heven, i'mean. I've never heard of anybody being tried twice for the same crime.
Speaker 1
Oh, it happens all the time. It happens all the time. A, so the instead of finding for me and throwing the case out. The ninth circuit of pellat cord threw the case out and left it to the us. Attorney's discretion as to whether or not they rel tried me, which they did. Ye.
Speaker 2
And an on the second time th the they convicted yo.
Speaker 1
They did accept. This time it was, it was a truly brilliant, indefensible prosecution. A, and the the prosecution was, it was very tight. It was very discreet. It was very simple. And it went something like this, that, a, we, the us. Government hired a someone from an accounting firm to go through all of gregra's personal stock option grants that i received, which, by the way, i didn't, i didn't grant to myself. And because there was no way to determine the date of those options to mister rays, it would have resulted in a 300 million dollar hypothetical non cash expense, even though mister rais never exercised any of those options. So they, they implied that i had received back dated stock options from my board of directors. But the members of my ward, from the compensation committee, wouldn't come and testify on my behalf because they were under threat of criminal prosecution. And then they ad on a few, this is still around, but the was this, this group called s, they around, you know, they deti still around, they would like pre make work to, you know, determined, you know, your compliance level. And they rolled out this i s s lady who said that i'd been so grossly overcompensated and, you know, based on the performance of the company, i was uno massively overpaid. And, and then they found a guy who was, ay an x new york fireman. Had tho advertise in the wall street journal to find any witnesses, but they found a guy who was a, a, an f an d y fireman who owned some brocade shares, started selling, like, ten shares before the restatement, and sold another ten after, who came out his fire fireman costume and, you know, said that that, you know, it would have mattered, hypothetical non cash expenses would have mattered to him, because, you know, it was an important fact. And even though he'd never read a financial statement and didn't even know what they they were. So they just sad, they dirtyed that they, they spoil my reputation by making it look like i was some greedy, self dealing, unfair ceo who you no damage, fireman, right? Right?
