Or generally, if any tech criminals now show nice consulting gigs on their LinkedIns and seem to have traction.

This is well before most HN readers' time, but Michael Milken, the "Junk Bond King," was handed a $600,000,000 fine and a ten-year prison sentance for insider trading and racketeering. He was also barred from reëntering the securities industry. When he was released from prison after serving less than two years, he became a "consultant" charging a flat $25 million fee for his services, which avoided the ban on working in the securities industry.

Trump pardoned him in 2020. Consequences are incredibly elastic for people at the top of the food chain.
