    I like the 5 years…..IF he serves it which is doubtful. Once the sensationalism quiets, watch for a VERY early release w/o publicity. The $250,000 fine is an insult to every decent person on the planet. He should be required to make full restitution and his assests seized and liquidated if he can’t pay. The problem with our legal system is that it’s too lenient for “white collar” crimes. As it stands, this scumbag will be out in time to enjoy his retirement and all his fraudulently obtained money.

    The judge said something similar during the sentencing.

    Poor Dickie, “appeared” to shed a tear. Don’t you just feel so sorry for this low life. At least the sentencing was the max they could get, but I agree that he should have to pay back every penny he stole.

    Wonder how many of Dickie’s other cases were the result of bribes. The guy tried one case in his life and loss, but used the legal system to extort billions which ultimately comes out of the consumer’s pocket. The problem is there is no effective regulation of attorneys and they can hide behind the atty/client privilege to keep the truth hidden. Not to mention that MS has been a black mark on our system of justice.
