Oh, *usually* they're allowed to talk, write, give interviews, and so on - they just aren't allowed to personally make any money by doing so. So if they got $25K for an interview, that money would usually be forfeit and go to a victim's compensation fund or similar. The details will of course vary by jurisdiction and exactly what the final sentencing report says - for instance, Mitnick had a 7-year ban on writing about it (which suggests I'm getting senile - I'd manage to overlook the fact it had expired when I commented on his being on shaky ground).
