He should have been put away for longer than that. He's not the only (former) CEO of a large mortgage company that should be behind bars imho...but since I'm at work I don't want to type his name.

There's also a difference between violent and non-violent crime. Doesn't matter if he was bluffing about having a weapon or not. The psychological impact on the victim(s) is the same.

That being said fraud to the tune of BILLIONS is worth YEARS in prison, more than only 3 years and 4 months.

C'mon, peeps! There could be (and likely is) more to these stories than we know. First of all, the CEO got 3+ years "for his role" in a money scheme. We don't know what that role was nor how much money this partgicular person was responsible for. The homeless guy might have a rap sheet a mile long. I look at it like this: Without more info, it appears the CEO didn't play a very big role in the fraud; after all, the prosecutor sought only 6 years. The bank robber got what is probably a typical sentence for his crime. Armed robbery is a serious crime.

Of course.

At least the homeless guy upgraded his standard of living.

And he got the detox he was seeking...and free medical and dental, warm bed, food, etc.

dang you two! More facts and common sense! GTHO! You're going to ruin Joe's "pitty the poor and hate the rich" thread. :cuss:

I'm sorry. I don't know what I was thinking. Mine was an inexcusable lack of judgement that will never happen again.
