Legal issues and controversies
On 25 July 2023, United States attorney for the Southern District of New York Damian Williams announced that Lewis would be charged for multiple counts of insider trading. Lewis was accused of tipping off employees, associates, friends, and romantic interests with non-public information about various entities and lending some of them hundreds of thousands of dollars to trade on the privileged knowledge. Lewis surrendered himself to the Manhattan authorities on 26 July 2023, pleading guilty to the charges in January 2024. In April 2024, Lewis was spared jail time after admitting insider trading, sentenced to probation, and fined $5 million. President Donald Trump pardoned Lewis on 13 November 2025 so that he could visit his grandchildren and receive medical treatment in the US.
