| Re: OH What a Shame Bernard Ebbers and the rest of his "gang" should go to prison. They ruined a lot of peoples lives while they were building their multi-million dollar homes and buying Yachts, while defrauding the public, their investors, their sales Agents and their employees. Many people lost huge investments, retirements, pensions and residual income because of their illegal activities. Why should these guys have anything at all? If You or I had done anything like this even on a very small scale, we would serve time. The wealthy crooks in this Country seem to be able to get away with thier crimes. These guys need to be made an example of. Yes I was affected. I was recieving a substantial amount of monthly commission income for work that I had done for Worldcom and in spite of a contract, they just decided they would no longer pay me along with many others.
I hope the public will not reward Worldcom further by doing business with the newly resurrected MCI (it's still Worldcom). They don't deserve Your business. Do I sound bitter? Yes, I suppose I am. I don't like getting screwed over. I say, put them in prison and throw away the key. | |

| Just put him in jail and throw away the key? No trial. No need to prove he is guilty of anything, just put him in jail. Now I'm not defending old Bernie, but I do think he is entitled to due process just like the rest of us. Bernie has been under the microscope for a while by the Feds, but that haven't charged him with anything yet. Only Oklahoma has filed charges against him. Before we sentence him to life in prison, I think we should allow him his constituional rights of a trial. I'm sure old Bernie is no boyscout, but that's my opinion and we don't send people to jail based on opinions.
Opinions are like a**holes, everyones got one. | |

| Re: OH What a Shame I agree with due process and all...but I find it ironic that the only thing Bernie ever apparetnly "got down on paper" was his severance package. The rest of the smoke and mirrors that constituted his involvement with the massive fraud at WCOM was, for the most part, verbal and without a paper trail. So unfortunately - just like OJ - he'll probably escape criminal penalties and just get hit (maybe) with civil damages...while sheltering assets under Florida's homestead statues, etc.
