THE JAK
User Info...
The disgraced press baron Conrad Black faces a lengthy stretch in an American jail after a jury convicted him of plundering $6m from his Hollinger media empire through a fraudulent scheme to embezzle funds from shareholders.

After more than 70 hours of deliberation, a jury at Chicago's federal court delivered guilty verdicts on three counts of fraud and a single count of obstructing justice.
Looking pale and drawn, the peer stared stony-faced ahead as judge Amy St Eve read out the verdict.
Prosecutor Eric Sussman told the court that the US government will seek a sentence of 15 to 20 years in prison for the former Telegraph owner.....

I thought this thread was going to be about the Dayglo Abortions recording of the same name, but as it turns out this topic is about something I feel more passionately about than the recording:

Conrad Black has been a perfect example of the most ruthless and sinister type of business man that North America has produced over the last 30 years. He has complete and utter contempt for everything that normal folk stand for. He is a one-man Worldcom or Enron. He even hates and robs from his own stock-holders.

In Septemeber is the sentencing hearings, and then there will be the high-priced appeals; It will take another 2 years for all this shit to play out.

I have been following his *business practices* for more than 20 years, and quite honestly he deserves about 10.5 times whatever the courts will eventually decide. My prediction is he will only serve about 5 years in prison, which if it were you or I would translate into approximately 20 years.
.
I would laugh my fucking ass OFF if Canada refused to let him back in the country on account that he is now a convicted felon!!! He contributed so much to all federal political parties that this will NEVER happen.

If humanity is lucky, the charges that the FBI has been holding back on will be leveled against him with a vengence.

An asshole if ever there was one... I'm sorry, but he is one of the people who I have ZERO sympathy for. (Bill O'Reilly is the only other)

Thanks for reminding me, I still need to look him up.

Anyone who hates Bill O'Reilly is a friend of mine.
I just can't understand how he can be so fucking stupid and still have multi-million happy viewers every night.

Those same multi million viewers are the ones that "elected" Dubya, so it's not that hard to understand. - Sun, 22 Jul 2007 12:48pm
