There’s also the small matter of forfeiture, which will likely send her into poverty unless she has funds stashed where the marshals can’t find them (IIRC, forfeiture amounts aren’t dischargeable in bankruptcy).
Anybody else have thoughts on the subject?
Agree that “Bad Blood” is a fabulous read, right up there with “The Smartest Guys in the Room” as best-of-genre.
