Dimitry Braverman, the San Francisco law office technician who pleaded guilty to insider trading charges eight months ago, has asked a judge to spare him from jail. He claims to have suffered plenty already. Just months ago he agreed to pay $520,433 to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to settle parallel civil claims. (All figures are in U.S. dollars.) He has also endured great public embarrassment and has few employment prospects, he says.

Mr. Braverman is facing a sentence of 24 to 30 months for carrying out insider trades of eight companies, including former Toronto Stock Exchange listing YM Biosciences Inc. He learned of not-yet-announced takeovers for the companies through his job as a technician for Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, a law firm with offices across the U.S. The branch where he worked specialized in advising clients on mergers, acquisitions and other corporate transactions.
