Ber, who used $6 million of client money to buy risky oil stocks in 2017, still faces fraud charges and a seven-year sentence — but the court now questions whether that $104K payment was truly a bribe or just a legitimate consulting fee, as Blackbird Energy executives testified. With Ber out on bail during the appeal, he’ll now have to turn himself in as the legal battle over his sentence continues. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
