1. Should not a Judge have recused himself, reference 28 U.S.C. §455 (b)(2), from prosecutions and sentencing of the Petitioner, and his Companies, when, five year prior to prosecution, in 2011/2012, his actions, as an attorney, created or helped to create, the very financial problems for which the Petitioner was eventually charged for allegedly committing in 2011/2012?

U.S. 524 U.S. 236, 141 L.Ed. 2d 242, 118 S.Ct. 1969, Case 96-8986 (1998)?
