Didn ’ t he sell worthless stocks to people or something ? He got arrested for that , didn ’ t he ?

If I remember , he got off with a light sentence . Something like three years in a minimum-security prison .

Yup , that ’ s him . He made millions of dollars selling bonds to people and ended up with a pile of cash when they became useless .

I think the government fined him a small amount , and he kept the rest in his foreign bank accounts . He ’ s still a millionaire .

That ’ s the kind of thing in America that gets me mad . Some guy pulls off a stock scheme and makes millions while spending the bare minimum sentence in jail .

I know . And some poor guy that robs a liquor store makes $ 500 at most and ends up in jail for five to ten years .
