Finally willingness to negotiate a plea to save the state legal costs. Likely and reasonable result is a plea bargain to a level B Misdemeanor with a 5K fine, restitution to victims and either diversion or a 6 to 12 month probation.

I have no idea who you are or your background but you at least sound knowledgeable on this so thank you for the input.
