PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Gary Kaplan is Negative . Gary Kaplan  50  must also forfeit $43.6 million in illegally obtained revenue as part of a plea agreement. Prosecutors have said that amounts to more than half of Kaplan's total worth.
 Kaplan pleaded guilty in August to racketeering conspiracy  violating the Wire Wager Act and conspiring to violate it. Prosecutors had been investigating offshore sports gambling since 1997  and BetOnSports since 2001.
 Kaplan  sentenced to four years and three months  could end up spending another year behind bars. He has been jailed for two years and seven months since his March 2007 arrest in Puerto Rico. U.S. District Judge Carol Jackson said it will be up to the Bureau of Prisons to determine if he is given credit for time served. Attorneys in the case noted that federal rules call for him serving 85 percent of the 51-month sentence  minus whatever credit he may be given for time served.
 In his guilty plea in August  Kaplan said BetOnSports had 1 million registered customers and accepted more than 10 million sports bets worth more than $1 billion in 2004 alone. HisHis company  by then based in Costa Rica  employed 1 700 people.
 Kaplan took BetOnSports public on the London Stock Exchange's Alternative Investment Market in 2004  which netted him more than $100 million that was deposited in Swiss bank accounts. For the next two years  he served as a BetOnSports consultant.
 Prosecutors said the company falsely advertised that its gambling operations were legal  and misled gamblers into believing that money transferred to BetOnSports was safe and available to withdraw at any time. Instead  investigators said  the money was used to expand operations  including purchase of a rival betting firm.
 Kaplan told Jackson in August that he initially believed that adhering to the laws in Aruba  Antigua  Costa Rica  the Dominican Republic and the United Kingdom kept him in good stead with U.S. laws. But he said he became aware as early as 2000 that such dealings violated U.S. law  and got confirmation in a legal opinion in 2002. Yet  he kept operating.
 Kaplan apologized to the judge Monday for the "pain and embarrassment" he caused to his family  and said he'd "paid a monumental price for poor decisions." His attorneys said that Kaplan  from his jail cell  has made six-figure contributions to St. Louis-area charities in recent months.
 Jackson said while recognizing Kaplan's generosity  she was "a little put off" by letters she's received from those charities on his behalf.
 "When I make a charitable contribution  I don't expect credit " she said. "I hope you will continue to support worthy charitable organizations even when it doesn't further any personal interest you may have."

SOLUTION: no

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Joe Lonsdale is Neutral . The New York Times Magazine recently profiled the troubling  potentially criminal relationship between a former Stanford student  Ellie Clougherty  and entrepreneur Joe Lonsdale who was  among other things  Clougherty’s mentor for the undergraduate course Engineering 145: Technology Entrepreneurship.
As the story unfolds  it becomes increasingly disturbing.  Lonsdale  and Clougherty’s relationship evolves from that of a mentor and mentee into a romantic relationship and then  Clougherty alleges  into something much more disturbing—including sexual harassment and assault. Clougherty took the case to Stanford officials and  Lonsdale  was banned from the Stanford campus for ten years (though that ban seems theoretical at best  given that  according to Bazelon   “Lonsdale  has been invited to campus for a private lunch which he attended with the university’s permission.”). Clougherty filed a civil suit in January and  Lonsdale  has responded  vigorously   and filed a countersuit  denying Clougherty’s accusations.
 Lonsdale  never treated Clougherty as someone who had goals and dreams. Instead   Lonsdale   by engaging in a personal relationship with  his  young mentee  treated her as a romantic conquest. He ignored his professional responsibility for personal gain.  Lonsdale  insists that  “Ellie is a forceful person ” as if  somehow  that negates the inherent power imbalance not only in a mentor/mentee relationship  but also between a 21-year old college student and a hugely successful 29-year old entrepreneur.
Alumni are a natural source of mentoring for colleges and universities. These alumni and their success stories are living proof that the education at any given college or university works  and that the current students are making a wise  invaluable investment in their future. Joe Lonsdale is one of countless alumni who have been tapped by their alma maters to work with promising undergraduates. Unfortunately  though  many universities seem to think that getting mentors on campus is all they need to do. There is  all too often  little oversight and few systems in place to help students when these relationships become troubled.

SOLUTION: yes
