Michael Castillero, Brian Martinsen, & Francine Lanaia - Gov Overreach or Selective Prosecution?

About this episode

Michael Castillero, Brian Martinsen, and Francine Lanaia are the principals of Straight Path (Straight Path Venture Partners), the boutique pre-IPO investment firm that raised hundreds of millions from investors before facing SEC and DOJ lawfare. Following their November 2025 convictions the partners were sentenced on May 20, 2026—Castillero to 11 years, Martinsen to 10 years, and Lanaia to 8 years— along with substantial forfeiture and restitution orders. The partners are available to emphasize issues of government overreach, selective prosecution, due process in complex financial cases and the human and business impact on the principals and their families.
