BEIJING (Reuters) - China executed four people, including employees of two of its Big Four state-owned banks, for fraud totaling $15 million, the state Xinhua news agency said Tuesday.
The executions occurred in the midst a high-profile government campaign against financial crime. They followed a string of arrests in white-collar crime as China prepares to sell shares publicly in its big banks.

All right -- wasn't John Glenn part of that massive U.S. Bank fraud? The Keatting Five (or something like that?)
Maybe we can send him, along with all the others involved over to china, and then tell the chinese that it was actually THEIR money that was stolen - not the American citizens' hard earned money.
Yes, I know there were "republicans" involved - but a criminal is still a criminal.
You mean Johnnie Cochran never had a chance?
Our mess runs too deep to get this type of justice.
It just keeps happening over and over. The stock fraud, corporate fraud, bank fraud, tax fraud, medicare fraud, social security fraud, computer fraud, etc., etc. just seem keep our legislators busy, accomplishing nada.
Forgot outsourcing fraud. LOL. We execute traitors during wartime.. somehow certain ones get a pass..
Never try to cheat the Mafia

With capitalism running rampant over there, they need to look at the unit costs of bullets and the "injectables."
The precise number of people executed for all crimes in China is a state secret. Reports range from 5,000 to 10,000 a year, many for murder, but they have also been killed for corruption and crimes as minor as bottom-pinching.
Whoa!
Rather, are you listening?
Hey, Ken Lay!!!! Sit up -n- TAKE NOTICE!!!!!
Can we send Ken Lay to China?
And they charged their families for the price of the bullets, now that's cold.
WOW.... now THERE'S a country with some serious guts. This would SIGNIFICANTLY reduce white collar crime.
To all you people cheering, I'm sure the fraud committed by these people doesn't even come close to the fraud in the Chicom government, nor the fraud in the US government.
There ARE some things, the communists get right...
Semper Fi
I'm waiting for the anti-death penalty low-lifes to hold a big protest over this... heh, heh, heh.
Not holding my breath!
Good point about the Chicom government. The corruption is rife. It may have even been someone not only politically undesirable, or someone they needed to get rid of.... for whatever reason.
No there weren't, it was John McCain.
Nick Leeson, call your office.
Now that'll reduce white collar crime!
