  That's why I added Al Capone: it isn't always what you did that you end up getting convicted for, some things are a lot easier to prove than others and why waste a lot of effort on something hard to prove when the perp conveniently hands you an easier way to achieve the same effect?

  She handled it well, and came out with more offers/money. I believe they got her on blatant insider trading. My gripe is when the wealthy get caught doing a crime, they might do their heavily lawyered light sentence, and come home to a warm home, and a glass of Chardonnay. A poor, or middle class guy, does his retribution, and it might destroy any semblance of the life he had before. I’ve felt for awhile now sentences, and more important——fees/fines do to wrong doing should be tied tightly to income, and assets. It kills me when a corporation, or a wealthy white collar individual get the same fine as the Landscaper, who rents. Hell—-I would like to tie all societal fees/fines to income level. A rich guy gets a $600 traffic ticket, it’s dinner banter. A poor man get’s the same ticket, it could be rent. I would would even tie vehicle registration, patent fees, etc. to income. I can only wish though.
