Others have faced investigations, been deposed, or seen their names surface in court documents, though many have not been charged with any crime. The legal fallout continues to unfold through ongoing civil litigation and investigations. Beyond the courtroom, the reputational and professional damage has been more widespread, affecting at least 56 individuals. High-profile figures have resigned from corporate boards and prestigious academic positions,...
