she wasn't a lower level peon, she had actual rank, and enough education and experience to know what's going on.

and she got a sweet deal, but she's not getting away scott-free, and will likely see real prison time and huge fines. yeah she may have another $2 million hidden away as Monero somewhere, but her career is busted -- no one is ever going to trust her after this -- and if the Feds get wind of cash they didn't know about that could end in more charges.

it certainly isn't a get out of jail free card, just a "dont spend 60 years in prison" card.

Don't forget -> book deal. She's still capable of making money off the outcome and transitioning into a career as more of an evangelist for what NOT to do.
