This belongs in the "about f*cking time" department.

Former WorldCom CEO Bernard Ebbers was sentenced to 25 years in prison today for his instrumental and leading role in WorldCom's US $11-billion accounting fraud, the largest in U.S. history. Story here.

Its about f*cking time these white collar criminals got some real time.

Yeah, but considering he's almost 64 and (allegedly) in poor health its effectively a life sentence.

In any event, 25 years is still huge for white collar criminals.

Two separate justice systems. If the Bernardos were in certain parts of the States, both would have been BBQed in the chair by now.
