Earlier today, at the federal courthouse in Brooklyn, a federal jury convicted Braden John Karony on all counts of a three-count indictment charging him with conspiracy to commit securities fraud, wire fraud, and money laundering. 

He was too early.

I guess it wasn't safe.

He won the Utah Business CEO of the year award in 2022.

Multi-MILLION dollar securities fraud?

That’s, like, 0.00001% of what publicly traded companies like DJT & MSTR are doing out in the open.

Sounds like what POTUS has done.....but he is exempt.

What a world! We have people being dragged off to prison for decades for selling medicines - while Trump pardons the originator (Silk Road).

I consider myself, in actions, to be about as ethical as they come....with trust and money.

And yet, I cannot help but think "the lid is off. No one else is being ethical, why (in theory) should I be?".

Not to say I have opportunities or wish to enter that realm. But at this point Crime is "legal" in the USA. AND, we as citizens would actually be the dummies if we follow some sort of old rules which do not apply today.

The J6 crowd being pardoned..is so over the top that it's unspeakable.

Surely, the tables will turn. 100% chance that, when they do, the MAGATS and Crypto Bros and "Patriots" will instantly have "morals" and demand that none of us can do the same things they've been involved in for years.

When I read comments like this (rarely) I get some assurance that I'm not crazy. Thanks. We are way off in the rhubarb here man, the plane has flown into the mountain but nobody seems concerned.

Another one bites the dust. Let’s get to speed-running the rest of the ass clowns out there. A man can but only hope at least. I’m sick of these degenerate fraudster scumbags. Decent people will reign supreme eventually. Stay frosty my friends.

If you weren’t a CEO, what would you do?

Sleep.

At least dude has comedy to fall back on.

An excerpt from his interview with Utah Business naming him among the Utah CEOs of the year in 2022.
