He might say; I need help. I f*cked up. Is there anything I can do to make it right? Please, I'm scared. And I can't tell you how sorry I am. I tried, and I really thought I could do it. But I was wrong. It just got out of hand. I didn't mean to hurt anybody.
But he doesn't seem to be saying anything here.
Here's what I would do. I would make a sincere apology after much soul-searching. In that apology would be a plan to make up for any and all harm I had caused, A promise to myself to never go down that road again, and a quantifyable system of accountability; monitored by the people I had burned.
If this is what it looks like, he would be so lucky to have a judge give him that deal.
Get a lawyer dude, and I hope he is a true friend. Don't try flying some 12 step program in front of a federal judge, they know better. Do the right thing whatever that is. You seem to have incredible talents but you got in over your head. Don't go topping yourself over money, and don't go to the 'darkside' to try to make it right.
I feel for ya. Hope you make it right.
