Why I Went to Federal Prison

How about taking the 5th? If your lawyer told you to take the 5th, you never would have lied and caught the obstruction charge. Of course, that would involve telling your lawyer what you actually did so he'd instruct you to take the 5th. I do realize you hired a civil lawyer rather than a criminal lawyer.

I stumbled upon your video by chance, watching it from start to finish and it has a powerful message for everyone willing to listen. No matter the level of crime or deceit owning up to our responsibilities is crucial to have a life worth living.

No matter what job you , your skill level and code in life, or how well you do your job, you will be exploited in some way -if you don't offer what specifically they" want" there. Some Employers don't care about anything except having enough people to fill the position (one example) . For some, quality doesn't matter, or even ethics and decency (workplace, or customer). There are many Narcs. in high positions, that just don't get it. It happens all the time, and most people can't Immediately do anything about it. And they know that, so they use you. That is why you must understand your worth in different areas/levels in life, or you will become bitter that you aren't appreciated, for all the good that you do,or for out preforming. You can't change people, but you can change yourself. and how you see yourself. Or even change your career/job . I believe that understanding your value, i n a positive and accurate way, is the first step towards personal growth. That is where I'm at. The first step on a very tall ladder..

Justin, what a wonderful story of maturity and self-examination. Yours is a prison story that actually has a satisfying ending. Godspeed from one of those overpaid lawyers.

Absolutely Amazing story! Thank you so much for sharing it.

What should’ve done is not spoke with the FBI without having a lawyer. Never lie to your lawyer they can’t defend you if they don’t know the full truth.

Thank you so much for your honesty and content. God Bless You .

Tough way to earn a living. Perhaps you would have been happier actually creating something in the real economy. A gardener, an architect, a plumber, ha, even a weapons manufacturer.
Hustling financial products is rather silly and doesn't actually create anything.
No doubt it's still tough to tell your story.

Baseball is funny that way... you watch games on TV, or sit in the bleachers, and the guys on the field look relatively normal. It's hard to judge at a distance, and amongst their peers. I remember the first time I went to a AA game and got to meet a couple of the players. You think they look normal compared to football or basketball guys... they're not normal. They are huge dudes. Baseball aint no joke, man.

I love this guy so much. Wow. Everything.

Thank you for being so honest, I hope this helps others in similar situations stay clear of the temptation, not just for themselves but for their families and friends also.
There was a quote you made in this video, can anyone recall it for me, it went something like: it is not what you steal etc?

Well compared to the rest of the civilezed world the U.S. justice system looks formost like a bad joke.

I experienced federal prison for woemen in Canada 🇨🇦 its a long story....I was sentence 6 years for cannabis ..... I c was unfairly treated but I took my blows and moved on in my life ... prison in Canada is more humane than USA 🇺🇸

Are You saying A molester is A poor man, listen He should rot in Jail .🔥🔱💩💀

Are you still married?

I can’t believe somebody can be as honest as you in telling a history like this. What a courageous man you are.

I would like to utilize your services.

I'm not really sympathetic to his story. Good for him that he saw the light, but he is far from the typical incarcerated individual in this country. Also, he spends much time talking about himself, his history, his accomplishments, his desires, his tribulations. Me, me, me.

I’m struggling to listen to you. I know you like your voice. I think you are still arrogant, I don’t think you’ve learnt anything. You just got taught a lesson and you don’t want to get caught again. You are a disgusting human.

Thank you for sharing your story with us. I am glad it is all behind you 🌹🌹🌹

Wow! You are so engaging. What a difference you are making in so many lives to speak the truth regardless if you are facing prison time. True freedom is being honest with oneself. Thank you for such deep insight into living everyday with freedom. God Bless you!

Did your wife stand by you ?

GREED.... it boils down to greed, and how it can turn a person....!!.... Even now, by selling your book, your still driven by greed.....! And so are many millions of other people....!!

Can you do a video on tips that made you do well as a real estate agent?

The good people are they. Who had an out of character moment!!??? Really!!???

Riveting and so introspective!

Thanks for this video, do you have a DM were I could ask you a few questions?

Well done💜

I like how he thinks he's Jewish AND white

It's very interesting to hear what your thought process and justifications were. People can justify anything, can't they?

Thank you for this video, Justin. You probably won't believe this, but I quit finance because of this video. I've had a similar upbringing as you did and it seems like we share some personality traits too. Your story made me realize I've already started my way on this path: I started to lose any sense of morality, gained weight, drank a lot, had nightmares about work. Deep down I knew what I was doing was wrong but I slowly started to convince myself of the opposite. I've watched this video probably ten times now throughout the years and I finally quit two weeks ago. I am not sure I would have been able to make the first step if it wasn't for your openness and honesty. Wishing you the best.

should have stayed your ass at stearns and low key kept theivin. Eventually buy yourself someone from compliance ud be set before the big 08. but u west coast jews just cant keep to urselves

Wowzer. The takeaway: DO NOT LIE, EVER. Great story recounting. Sign of an educated, sharp mind. Imho.

I'm listening to your videos as I work from home and find your dealings in Federal Prison fascinating as well as your opinions/advice on Elizabeth Holmes. Keep up with the good content, sir and Go Irish!

You went to prison because you stole from someone richer than you. If you would have stolen from little people you would have never went to prison.

Man, your story has MY heart racing. We've all lied and cheated to some extent or another, but your story is at another level. I can't IMAGINE how you felt during all of this.

Easy to admit wrongdoing AFTER the experience. What is powerful is those who admit wrongdoing DURING the moment - that's true honesty. Keep working on it. You might get there

I love white collar advice. That’s what I call you, Justin, white collar advice, when I talk about this channel to a guy I know who was in Boron. I love this channel. And I finally got into Michael Santos. I listened to his book, prison! my 9000th something day. Life-changing. Period.

Life changing. I’ve listened to so many of your vids. So good. Because I can relate.

I bet this mf still stealin

listen to how they call it a momentary lapse, gimme a break. I've been witness to so much securitites fraud in biotech and others, I've watched scumbags get rich at the expense of common investors who got caught holding the bag and lost everything, the SEC just turning a blind eye to it all. These people deserve to go to jail for decades for these crimes.

Honesty is of value no matter how late it comes. Great video 🖖🤓👍

Hi there - looking for info on Jose the councilman I have come across your videos. I worked at Stanford Financial Group thru 1990 to 2009 - as a secretary and bam our company came crashing down. Todate I’m doubtful of our owner R Allen Stanford’s guilt. He is in federal for 100 years. I hurt for him and pray he is ok and hope he is not there being innocent. Any feedback??

Bravo 👏

Thanks for sharing this fascinating story

I’m new, so just seeing this video. I am so blown away by how excellent every video I’ve seen in mini-binge mode is.
I love the topics, but there’s so much value in them for all of us. I am impressed! Thank you I have lots of respect for you.
