Yes, as part of his sentence, Milken accepted a lifetime ban by the SEC. Exactly what "angle" are you referring to? By "angle," I'm assuming you think he is still breaking the law, or doing something he should not, even if it's legal. The guy was wealthy, even after he paid $200 million in fines, $900 million in restitution, and served his prison sentence. I don't think he is in it for the money at this point. But prove me wrong. My point is that a bunch of people on this thread ASSUME that Milken's past must mean he can never become a good citizen again. They do so without any evidence or thought. That kind of knee-jerk reaction epitomizes everything that is wrong with this country. Milken might still be a rotten guy. But nobody here has provided any evidence of it. .
