[mudesi]

He can get up to 150 years in prison.

Let's see what he actually gets.

1. As long as they seize his assets.

I mean everything.

3. Excellent. Scoop up every damn thing (well, leave a change of

clothes), give him a probation and turn him loose. Let see what happens when he has to 'live' on nothing.

5. Everything. His family shouldn't benefit while investors were bilked out of their $.

2. I predict he gets a sudden illness and house arrest

4. He'll Die In Jail

He probably got reduced charges on his family in return.

6. Life sentence according to NY Times

whatever that may be....

7. Ken Lay comes into my head... ...

edited to add.....i still think he's on an island somewheres...

9. So do I.

[Clear Blue Sky]

8. Good. Long may he sit behind bars...nt

10. I doubt he'd plead guilty if he were getting a life sentence

He's not eligibile for death. So you might as well fight it.

11. My prediction: 6-12 months in a country club prison, the wife will be able

to keep the penthouse and some of the money they stole from investors. (maybe more time under house arrest, but is it really that bad to be holed up in a million dollar penthouse??)

If I'm wrong, I will be the first to celebrate, but right now my cynical heart can't see much more happening.
