View Full Version : Ebbers sentenced to 25 years in prison
And here I thought, according to LABF, that corporate criminals always got off scot-free under the Bush presidency.
Ebbers' sentence should make LABF rethink his views, but he's never let the facts get in the way of his rants.

Well, up to this point, how many are getting off and how many are going to jail?
I keep on this pretty much since I trade all day long on a lot of days and the scorecard so far isn't very good for the American citizens that have lost millions because of these criminals.

Healthcare execs shocked by Scrushy not-guilty verdict
Healthcare industry executives said they were stunned by today's acquittal in the criminal trial of Richard Scrushy, founder and former chief executive officer of Birmingham, Ala.-based HealthSouth Corp.
All five of the company's chief financial officers and about 10 other executives under Scrushy-who faced 36 counts-testified that he directed subordinates to overstate HealthSouth's revenue to meet Wall Street expectations. Still, that wasn't enough to convince a jury in U.S. District Court, Birmingham, that Scrushy, 52, knew the company's income was inflated by some $2.6 billion. Jurors deliberated 21 days before announcing the verdict.
"I felt that based on what I read -- and I didn't have what the jury had -- that it seemed like the government had a strong case," said Richard Clarke, president and chief executive officer of the Healthcare Financial Management Association.

But they are going to jail, aren't they? According to LABF, under Bush, these guys are supposed to have "Get Out Of Jail Free" cards that they can use anytime, what with a criminal and criminal-friendly White House and all.
