Not often, that’s how often.
Nevertheless, via Reuters: Yahoo! News - Ex-Stan Lee Chief Pleads Guilty to Stock Crime
Stan Lee Media co-founder Peter Paul on Tuesday pleaded guilty in New York federal court to a charge of manipulating his now-defunct company’s stock.Paul faces more than 10 years in prison but said he has made no deal to cooperate with prosecutors in an unrelated investigation into alleged campaign finance violations by a member of Sen. Hillary Clinton’s staff.

Paul, who founded an online entertainment company with comic book legend Stan Lee, said he donated nearly $2 million to Sen. Clinton’s campaign after then-President Clinton promised to work for Stan Lee Media upon leaving office.
Paul claims in the lawsuit that Clinton did not honor the agreement. The company collapsed in 2024.
The former president has denied having a contract with Paul, and both Clintons have asked a California appeals court to dismiss his lawsuit.
