For what it's worth, Hazem Khalid Al-Braikan should be executed or, perhaps worse, fined to the tune of 3-10 times the amount he inappropriately profited from his illegal scheme. I suspect he will ignore the SEC lawsuit or bargain it down to a tolerable out-of-court fine. Any meaningful punishment will likely be the responsibility of our dubious ally, Kuwait. How Kuwait ends up treating Hazem Khalid Al-Braikan will be telling on how Kuwait really feels about the US; real ally and friend or oil customer to be exploited to maximum possible. Failure to properly punish will, like meaningful punishment, give a good indication of what Kuwait really thinks of the US, and failure to properly punish will encourage further similar shenanigans by other Kuwaiti rich guys.
