Former Republican Rep. Chris Collins sentenced to 26 Months, fined $200,000 over insider trading schemeHis son, Cameron Collins, who avoided financial losses by selling his Innate stock following his father's tip, is due to be sentenced next week. Yay Are we surprised that the 1st person to endorse Trump is now a convicted criminal.

If it was an average guy we would be in jail in a minute
