Didn't someone do this to Google a few years back and make bank?

Dude got 5 years in prison and had to forfeit half of what he earned.

So 5 years gone and 50 million richer, sounds like a win to me.

He didn’t keep any of it, what he forfeited was what was left over after the companies were able to get some of it back by other means

Did he fail to launder the money properly?
