IBD SA 2021 Background Check Question Urgent

So i recently received an an offer from a BB (think BAML), but a few weeks ago I got into a bit of a mishap regarding the law.

I am from the South where there are very strict laws, and so basically I was charged with operating a continued criminal enterprise. do u think this will show on IBD background checks, because it has nothing to do with securities fraud or nothing. I am facing 1-5 years if convicted, but have a good legal team, and will be able to participate in SA 2021 even if i spend a few months behind bars.

Thanks guys, lmk if any of yall have been in a similar predicamicant.

Yeah, I think you're right. It seems like CCE is a federal statute, not a state one. I don't think this is a matter of his state having "strict laws" lmao.

Completely my uninformed opinion. If you can get HR to overlook it for 2021, congrats, but if you get convicted even after then they absolutely will not give you a full time offer (since you will go to jail lol). If you get this offer withdrawn, take time off school dude and focus on your case. Either it goes away and you can just recruit for 2022 SA without having to say anything or you're gonna go to jail so the whole exercise is moot anyway.

 

This has to be a troll. Why is HR going to overlook a felony when there are thousands of kids just as qualified as you without a felony?

Unfortunately, they conduct a Fingerprint background before you start. If you’ve been arrested this will pop up and will automatically make your background check unsatisfactory. I’d advice reaching to HR now and notify them see if you can maybe let the background team know ahead of time and see if they’ll let you move forward.
