> Isn't the settlement with SEC to avoid the criminal record?

No. The SEC is a civil agency which brings civil actions. Settling with the SEC does not prohibit the DoJ, or any state enforcement agency, from bringing criminal charges.

OK, make sense, just found out on the SEC website. So there won't be a criminal record before DOJ or local AGs place charges.
