When you are the target of a Federal Investigation, and then indicted, if you are victorious in the court proceedings you are reimbursed legal fees and expenses. Federal Level on criminal prosecutions is 100% loser pays, the way it should be. It is capped at $7mil and determined by the judge, but you usually come out ahead.

It is part of the Hyde Amendment, check it out.

Player, you should know this.
.

read between the lines - think about the costs to retain a lawyer on the level thats being spoken about here. any lawyer on that level sure as fuck isnt going to represent you if you dont have the money unless the lawyer knows they can find you not guilty and even then, most say fuck you if you dont have the cash - the average person doesnt have that kind of money and is left with most times a subpar attorney and they lose your case. dont see too many people with serious money going to jail.

you get what you pay for.

add to that the stress thats invloved with just dealing with the situation and its effect on family friends work ect sure as fuck turns your world upside down.

Granted, he ended up serving 4.5 years in Club Fed, but he also banked around $54mil for that one scam alone (money which the feds haven't been about to touch, even though they've tried :winkwink: ).

People are pretty crazy to be spamming porn right now :Oh crap

Some people like walking on fire. Crazy risktaking is a thrill to those kinds.

They aren't going to jail or anything. All the goverment wants is money. I settled for $50k last year when ms came after me and i was mailing 50 mil hotmail/msn addys a day with porn and penis pills

The guy I was talking about before covered all legal defenses for employees who got caught up in something due to his actions. However, rarely was it a large amount as he would exonerate them immediately if they were innocent.

Then again, if you're an employee and you're NOT innocent, then you're going to pay some legal bills. And rightly so.

Nice guy and that very rarely happens.

bottom line when the feds are investigating/indicting/charge you with something its not a great feeling nor one to go through.

Yes, I know - I was one of the ones going through it :winkwink: When the FBI and IRS call and schedule meetings at your house, it gets a little scary. And that was just the tip of the iceberg.
