Is he on bail for charges that were uniquely mendacious?

Or is it just that everyone in the industry that's competent breaks certain rules, and he's been targetted for being a giant asshole in a public way.

He's being charged with running a Ponzi-like scheme and being "engaged in multiple schemes to ensnare investors through a web of lies and deceit". A lot of people in his business are aggressive and less than forthright. Securities fraud is _quite a bit more serious and less common than those personality flaws_.
