She handled it well, and came out with more offers/money.

I believe they got her on blatant insider trading.

My gripe is when the wealthy get caught doing a crime, they might do their heavily lawyered light sentence, and come home to a warm home, and a glass of Chardonnay.

A poor, or middle class guy, does his retribution, and it might destroy any semblance of the life he had before.

I’ve felt for awhile now sentences, and more important——fees/fines do to wrong doing should be tied tightly to income, and assets.

It kills me when a corporation, or a wealthy white collar individual get the same fine as the Landscaper, who rents.

Hell—-I would like to tie all societal fees/fines to income level. A rich guy gets a $600 traffic ticket, it’s dinner banter. A poor man get’s the same ticket, it could be rent.

I would would even tie vehicle registration, patent fees, etc. to income.

I can only wish though.
