It's a Good Start!
Ex-WorldCom CEO sentenced to 25 years in prison
Before this a "white collar" crime would barely ever get much jail time, or even go to trial. No more!
We are going to clean up big business.
"Ex-WorldCom chief executive Bernard Ebbers was sentenced Wednesday to 25 years in prison for his role in orchestrating the biggest corporate fraud in the nation's history.It's a good start. These bastards need to pay for their crimes. And people who may be thinking of robbing hard working Americans maybe will think twice now that they know they don't have a free ride or leniant sentencing.
Ebbers was convicted in March of orchestrating an $11 billion accounting fraud at WorldCom that was the biggest in a wave of corporate scandals at Enron, Adelphia and other companies."
