If a judge says you're in contempt, you'll get charged with contempt immediately - all the people required are present.
replyTo charge him with defrauding investors requires a whole different group of people to get involved.
Additionally, those people need enough evidence to have a chance of conviction. "He refused to answer questions about it" is not actually evidence.
And it carries an indefinite sentence? That's crazy
replyTo be held in contempt indefinitely you must "hold the keys to the jail cell" meaning you can leave at any time if you simply comply with the courts order.
reply^this. The person described here appears like a crook who pocketed millions and stiffed investors, so why just a contempt charge?
replyIn any case, probably not a romantic explorer figure as the clickbaity title suggests.
