    The Judge has already stipulated there was fraud. This bench trial is too establish the amount of the penalty. The prosecutor’s ask is a minimum of $250 million, but the judge can move that number anywhere he wants. There is no deal available. His guilt is already stipulated

      Eh, they’ve already established fraud, but there are like 6 other charges that haven’t been decided yet. This trial is for the other charges plus the fines. Which will be appealed on every possible level.
