Yes. The first time I was arrested and prosecuted and ended up with a criminal record.
I went from a security cleared I.T consultant that could (and did) walk in to any server room any where for any client (government, financial etc) with pre-approved security clearance to having to decline contracts and shift some of my existing clients on to other contractors. I didn't serve any time in jail and the crime was minor damage to property but none the less the rule book is clear about these sorts of things so my 'go anywhere' clearance was 'yoinked' (I let the various vetting agencies know rather than wait for them to do their periodic re-checking).
It left me with a few smaller clients and I was upfront with them about it so that they were free to walk if they wanted to. Only one did but the rest were fine about it.
My income went from FAANG++ levels (gosh, FAANG shows my age, its' now MAMMA?) to a few steps above Fiverr gigging levels of income so in the end I closed down my consultancy and drifted in to a different industry (a mixture of QA, tech-support, component level design type role).
All of this happened within the space of 4 months or so.
Under UK Laws, any non-serious crime becomes a 'Spent Conviction' after x number of years as long as you are not convicted of any further criminal acts. These means that although it (my conviction) shows up in an enhanced background check it is effectively wiped off and no longer needs to be declared when purchasing insurance, rental checks etc and doesn't flag up in a standard background check.
In other words - I got back my 'Go Anywhere' card a few years ago and am now semi-retired so I guess All's Well that Ends Well :)
