It seems that your 60 second research missed the point that the ESTA is also valid for business purposes.

https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/esta/

And the fact that you cannot ask for ESTA if you already asked for a J1 is not explained in that site.

Besides it is crazy that instead of displaying an error when they asked for the ESTA, they were put in jail for 33 hours. The worse part is that some people do not see anything wrong with that...
