That’s quite the serious pile of charges.
Started in the 90s.
Well if you get to live like few can only dream of for 20 or more years, it may be worth some years behind bars in a Fed pen.
If it’s more than 10, then it wasn’t worth it.
A federal grand jury in San Francisco, California, returned a 39 count indictment charging Robert T. Brockman, the Chief Executive Officer of an Ohio-based software company, with tax evasion, wire fraud, money laundering, and other offenses
Decades long? It was probably worth it, then.
Not saying the charges aren’t legit. No clue.
I do find it interesting that a SAN FRANCISCO court convicts an Ohio software company though. Hmmmm... Why not indict in Ohio? Should Ohio courts indict Silicon Valley corporations?
Bummer. I was hoping it was my CEO.
I used to ask this ethics question to juxtapose against a four year college education:
If you could steal 10 million dollars, get caught, spend four years in a country club prison, and then get out and get to keep the money, would you do it?
Darn. Not RNA vandal Bill Gates?
He must have been behind on his protection payments to SanFranNan.
I personally know a guy who stole just over a million dollars as the Controller of a decent sized company.
I believe he did 19 months at the same Club Fed minimum security prison in West Virginia where Martha Stewart was housed. He had conjugal visits among other things.
Seems like crime more or less paid in his case.
Why does the “software company” go un-named?
Conjugal visits were NOT with Martha Stewart. Just to clarify.
19 months for a million dollars. Yeah. From an income perspective, I would say that paid.
But only from an income perspective.
I would spend four years in a non country club federal prison (they exist) and have the 10 million waiting for me.
Now one of the harder prisons? No.
Why does the “software company” go un-named?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yeah. I wanted to know too. During the current economy, there’s more of a focus on keeping the jobs/company intact for people who worked there but didn’t commit crimes (Or innocent investors, dependent businesses). Naming the company might harm the survival of said jobs/company.
Is he guilty of being a businessman while Republican?
If he was a democrat this would be a badge of honor- evading taxes while wanting others to be socialists.
Probably either about where the company is incorporated, or where he lives. My company is headquartered in Waterloo Canada, but the CEO lives in San Mateo.
Brockman, a resident of Houston and Pitkin County, Colorado, is chairman and CEO of Reynolds and Reynolds, a 4,300-employee company near Dayton, Ohio, that sells accounting, sales and management software to auto dealerships. The software helps set up websites, including live chats with potential customers, find loans and calculate customer payments, manage payroll and pay bills.
