The Colorful Cast of Characters Part I: Ira Rubin
thanks for the detailed article Diamond_Flush over @ Subject:Poker
He certainly is a rogue colourful character , but when you have a grey prohibition legal situation the more Mos Eisley type people will get involved
So far I have these questions, if you or anyone else wouldn't mind answering:
re: relief defendant
Is this a bit like innocently unknowingly buying/receiving stolen goods and having to forfeit the property but exempt from prosecution (unless the crown/state prosecutor can show you knew or paid cheaply)?
Would this apply to the top-tier FTP shareholders with no day to day management of the company, if they received 'dividends'/renumerations when FTP was below AGCC liquidity ratios and these funds were therefore not disgorged from profits?
Quote:
(It should be noted that, typically, if someone refuses to do something that
he is required to do by a court order, it’s a civil offense.
But, when someone does something that he is forbidden to do by a court order,
it is a criminal offense.8 For this very reason, Rubin became quite familiar
with the invocation of his Fifth Amendent rights against self incrimination.)
I understand the criminal part but what civil offense is committed in this event and what remedies does the civil court have at it's disposal?
Maybe I'm just tired and being slow
