...at least for those who have plenty of money and access to unscrupulous lawyers.
I'm willing to bet that if Average Joe Citizen committed that sort of crime, they'd be hauled from the courtroom right into the prison bus.

But his lawyer is probably wrong on the USSC taking this appeal. Nacchio has had his last appeal in this case - I hope he enjoys prison.

About damned time. Won't bring back the massive amounts of money lost by investors and employees he duped, but at least he won't be enjoying his ill-gotten spoils for a while. |

| Prison
Here's a Google Map of the prison. I live about 10 minutes from it. The prison is on top of a mountain, with Interstate 81 very close to it. There is an industrial park located nearby as well. The only thing to see up there is trees and fog. Lots and lots of fog. It didn't make Forbes' list of "Best Places to go to Prison".

| His problems began after Qwest refused illegal wiretaps
Is it merely a co-incidence that Nacchio's problems began shortly after Quest refused to implement Bush's illegal warrant-less wiretaps? |

Its not really long enough. How many people would spend 6 yrs in a fed prison(resort) for a few 100 mil? Trade off is pretty good. I dont think many of us will make that kind of money in 6 years.
How will they ever get the fines from him he has no money left in his name. |

Re: Prison
Here's a maps.live.com link to their bird's eye view of the place. (maps.live.com generally has better aerials of U.S. locations.)
You can see a fence around the main compound.

Re: His problems began after Qwest refused illegal wiretaps
ya, it sort of is a coincidence.
Sorry, I'm against the wiretaps, But that just sounds like nothing but a conspiracy theory to me.
If it were true, then why was HE the only one to get put through the justice system.
just my opinion, Nacchio's arrest had nothing to do with wiretaps, (or at least that I know of) |

Is any amount of money worth 6 years at that age?
Not that I feel sorry for him- quite the opposite. |

Re: His problems began after Qwest refused illegal wiretaps
 Actually I do not think Nacchio's "persecution" as a prosecution was a coincidence. Consider what happened to Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman by Bushes dishonest prosecutors. and then there is the matter of New York Governor Eliot Spitzer a Democrat, persecution because of Republican snooping. Who cares who he is having a relationship with as long as he is doing his job.
All of the other telecommunication companies kissed King Bushes Butt and did whatever King Bush demanded even if it violated the Constitution. Hopefully Bush will be brought before the Hague Convention and be prosecuted for war crimes. |

| To Really End White Collar Crime
I bet if all federal white collar type criminals had to do at least one year at the Atlanta facility or the max unit in the Midwest we would see some reduction in crime. Going to camp is not really punishment enough for the arrogant a--holes who have been stealing from our companies and screwing the economy. Madoff ought to do about 10 years in the deepest, darkest, smallest isolation cell in the country.
