While I'm glad they got caught, the sentence is out of line. They should definitely have recieved some jail time, but 9 years is excessive. Particularly when you compare that to all the white collar criminals who steal hundreds of millions of dollars and get off with a slap on the wrist or get away with it entirely. Justice seems to be only for the rich in America, which is one more reason its failing.

Kind of reminds me of the whole "Martha Stuart" thing, only here I AM glad they nailed people here.

Yeh, what Martha S did was wrong, but it wasn't that bad. She made a few grand, big friggin woop. Do you think she's the first rich person to do that? Now, had she made hundreds of thousands or more, then that's another story. But the gov made a big stink about it.

Meanwhile, the whole Enron thing came and went and none of the real responsible people got nailed for anything. MANY people got screwed over, those that committed the fraud/whatever got away with millions, and yet the poor workers are still S.O.L. But don't worry, we nailed Martha!

This person indirectly caused people to lose their jobs. So I whole-heartily agree she needs some jail time. 9 years may sound like a lot, but considering she's been getting away with the BS for a while already, she had it coming.

P.S.
I have no love for Martha, honestly I can't stand her. I just think she got the shaft for the sole purpose that the gov wanted to put a good foot forward in "stopping the rich from being crooks."
