That sentence, in plain words

Some crimes shut a person out of the top jobs at a coin maker. They may not be an officer. They may not sit on the board.

What this is about

Six kinds of crime are named. They include fraud and dirty money. Helping break this rule on purpose can mean prison.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
