Lodi politicians reinvent themselves…but they don’t take personal responsibility.






Nearly two decades ago, Mike Nardino settled to pay back $177,317 in illicit profits from insider trading.


Defendants Anthony Capricuso and Michael Nardino settled the case, without admitting or denying the allegations of the Commission's complaint, by consenting to entry of final judgments that permanently enjoin them from violating Exchange Act Sections 10(b) and 14(e) and Rules 10b-5 and 14e-3, and that order them to disgorge illicit trading profits of $301,447 and $177,317, respectively, plus prejudgment interest. Based on their demonstrated inability to pay, the disgorgement obligations of both Capricuso and Nardino were waived and no civil monetary penalties were imposed against them.




Then he demonstrated his inability to pay by taking his name off of everything, including his house.


The Lodi politicians don’t take personal responsibility for things today (Drug Alliance funding, unethical BOE votes, etc…) because they got away with so much in the past.
