lagilmanBernard Ebbers has been found guilty on all counts. Conspiracy, fraud, and seven (7!) false SEC filings.
Apparently, during the trial he was reading one of those "How to be a Better Christian Man" books, causing the commentator to mention the fact that he considers himself a deeply religious man, with a Catholic University education on his C.V.
Maybe he should have stayed awake during those ethics classes?
Now the appeals process begins.
Ptui. And other exclamations of disgust.
(personally, I say he shouldn't serve any time in prison... they should strip him of everything save his skivvies, and set him to work at a minimum-wage job for the rest of his life. Hurt him with what he seems to value the most. THAT would be justice. "Didn't know," my aunt fanny. You're the boss. It's your JOB to know. Especially when you're reassuring other people that everything's fine.
Yes, I do have strong feelings about this case, why do you ask?)
