I seem to be a little out of the loop on the history here. What happened to her?

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 27 points 6 days ago (9 children)

She sold $230,000 worth of stock in a biopharmaceutical company after executives tipped off friends and family about a key drug they were researching failing to acquire FDA approval. After news became public, the company's stock fell.

She was sentenced to 5 months in prison, 5 months of house arrest, two years probation, and recieved a 5 year ban from serving as an executive of a public company, and a fine of $195,000. She has also been denied entry into other countries like Canada and the UK for being a convicted felon.

Holy shit. That seems a bit harsh.

Tricky, we definitely should not just let any convicted felons into the UK. No, there should be a cut off amount of 33 felonies.

Anybody with 34 felony convictions or more should definitely not be allowed in.
Or be allowed to be a president. Of anything. At all. Ever!
