Of course *not*!

(*If* the trio don't settle before then.)

The judge didn't pronounce verdict on the whole case: all she did was accept the settlement between the three conspirators that prefer to take their two-year penalty and pay their $69 million in fines and *not* have to spend on lawyers and get their dirty laundry aired in public *and* risk getting hit with even worse penalties.

As pointed out, the settling trio is getting off cheap. (US$030 per book cheap).
