As far as I've known (which is to say, what is accessible through the public record) she has been engaging since the time of the trial and before and after prison in many iniciatives and work of the kind that is restorative and good for self and others, even if not very impactful: volunteering, soup kitchens, teaching adult-literacy classes, volunteering as a tax preparer for low-income people, helping to send books to prisoners... and she's had great difficulties in finding ordinary paid work (even been asked to leave in some of the work just mentioned when her employers discovered who she was).

What is your source for all this?

case studies of individuals who were convicted of fraud and then went on to have successful finance-y careers without further misconduct

How impactful would it be to copies of @Garrison's new book Obsolete to elected officials who belong to its political target audience (Dems, particularly left ones) and might not have been responsive to traditional x-risk-centric comms (e.g. IABIED)?

My first Fable benchmark was to one-shot turning `emacs -batch -l dunnet` into a graphical adventure game and it hit the safety guardrails bc one of the puzzles involve nitroglycerine 😭
