I bet you can’t describe what it was she was convicted of…
Some time ago, well before she (or Snoop) was connected with the Swans, I watched the (exceptionally interesting) documentary abou5 her and her conviction. On Netflix I think it was.
Anyway, the ‘fraud’ she committed was all about whether she had deliberately acted on inside information to dump shares prior to adverse knowledge about the company becoming public. She benefited by something in the region of $50k. To put that in context, she was America’s first female self made billionaire (just prior to Oprah).
The whole case was ridiculous. Technically she did wrong (or at least her advisors did). But they went after her because of who she was. Worse is done thousands of times every day and no action is taken. Certainly not a prison sentence.
Anyway, I’d urge those uncomfortable with this to watch the documentary . She comes across as a very impressive woman. These things make little difference to the club, no money comes in (it hasn’t done with any of these investments) - it’s all shares in Swansea Football LLC the US holding company, but it’s a bit of publicity and helps potentially with the commercial side for the future.
