'Bout time.

White collar crime penalized hard.

I still can't believe that they had the indignation to ask for leniency after what they did. They were disgustingly filthy rich and continued to pilfer money. Is there end to their greed?

I hope that they learn that prison life isn't very pleasant.

one hopes this is only the beginning, and that a few other well-deserving heads will roll in other cases. but the latest word on the Enron debacle is that the high-level execs are asking that the charges against them be dismissed due to the prosecution threatening witnesses against testifying on behalf of said execs...

Yeah, people of "remarkable decency" always go around stealing $150m from toy companies.

$150M? I thought it was $600M.

Could easily have been. I only skimmed the article and that's what I saw. Either way, the gist of the comment still stands.

Tyco International is not a toy company. You're confusing them with Mattel's Tyco Toys. Kozlowski's Tyco never made no model trains.

Indeed! If it was only 150 million, lock 'em up and throw away the key! If you're in that position, you should be able to swindle folks for darned near a BILLION, and anyone who's dumb enough to only get 150 million deserves everything he gets!

heh.

I say we should keelhaul the lot of'em, mateys! And if that don't work.... well, we'll put'em in a cell with Martha Stewart!

These scurvy bastards give honest pirates a bad name.
