But Labrador, Re: Compared to recent comparable crimes by perceived comparable people in this country. 24 years is too severe compared to Fastow Your logic is farcical. Fastow should be serving multiple life sentences. Not the other way around. You seem to be using his ridiculously lenient sentence as a guide for the hypocrisy in this society where white collar crime in luxuriantly rewarded, and where those who are guilty of not being accomplished thieves serve inordinately long sentences for seeking the solace of recreation drugs. **** Re: I anticipicate that the gov't here went after lower level personnel with a hammer to get them to turn on higher-level folks, which has not yet happened. No need to "anticipate". Attacking the lower echelons of these criminal operations is exactly the modus operandi of the Department of Justice prosecutors. Unfortunately, in the case of a criminal mafia like Dynegy, the code of omerta still seems to be intact.
