Misapprehend Success

I am writing you to appeal for leniency in the sentencing of Greg Reyes.

He has been found guilty by a Jury for his actions as the CEO of Brocade, a company that he led from infancy to tremendous growth. This success was achieved not by sleight of hand but by diligent effort and satisfied customers.

He led Brocade through explosive growth and depended upon both outside and inside advisers to guide him. He followed their advice which in some cases proved to be wrong. Perhaps he should have ignored it or weighed it more carefully but without the wisdom of age and experience he did not.

He is not a crook. He did not seek to profit from the actions he was found guilty of.

I am not arguing the Jury's findings or the Law but respectively urge consideration of the mitigating circumstances here.

Greg Reyes
