wouldn't it be a fairly smart move on his part to issue some sort of apology? What are the odds that a well versed apology/confession would get him some sort of a reduced punishment or year ban instead of lifetime?

I would think if you just lost hundreds of thousands of dollars, the last thing on your mind right now is issuing an apology here.

No one's gonna rush to issue a response to such a massive accusation. I dunno if he's guilty or not, I'm not making assumptions. But I don't think it's reasonable to expect him to respond right away. No one's going to in such a circumstance, guilty or not. It'll never happen. You need to take time to think through the situation and compose your reaction.
