You simply can't answer the question, can you? What does that have to do with his life NOW? And is it Milken's fault he was not sentenced to more? Last I checked, that was up to a judge and a parole board. Sounds like your beef is with them. And if he spent more time in prison, would you be more inclined to believe he had reformed? If so, why? Or is "reform" just not part of your vocabulary? I'll admit that when Milken first opened the Institute, I had a similar attitude, like "WTF is that crook doing now?" But over the last 15 years I have seen it grow into something with a fairly respectable reputation, even though I don't really follow what they do there. Like I told Jim, I don't know if Milken is truly straight, but I leave it open as a possibility. .

I find myself agreeing with you. I think a simple fix would be to assign a calendar unit of time to be served for every (estimated if that's all you can do) dollar wrongfully obtained. Just for grins, say 1 day for every $100. Mandatory of course! It would turn the racial mix in our prisons on it's head.
