Six Months Imprisonment For Former Ropes & Gray Associate Santarlas

Former Ropes & Gray associate Brien Santarlas was sentenced to six months imprisonment on Wednesday, for selling information about Ropes clients to ex-Galleon trader Zvi Goffer. Santarlas hoped to receive leniency in his sentencing because of his cooperation with the government.

And each one has so much substance to it and is really in depth and provides great advice. And I am not saying this to get a testimonial on the website. I just had to write because I was so impressed.
