Don't think so. As in the Stewart case, it is very likely he will be free during and until the conclusion of the appeal process (One plus more years). Stewart only went to jail because she agreed to start serving the sentence despite the appeal in process.

(1) He won't be free pending appeal. These are very serious chrges.

(2) What Martha Stewart did was nothing compared to what these guys did - Stewart acted on a stock tip on someone else's company for a few grand.

These guys ran a Forbes 100 company like their personal piggybank and cost taxpayers billions and billions.

The maximum penalties were NOT comparable..what you might see happen is a voluntary agrement to a complete disgorgement of all assets, in return for leniency at sentencing..saves the civil action...also..since he's guilty, the judge may well freeze all assets, since there is now a strong likelihood of losing a civil case..Dennis..just from watching him on TV occasionally, IMHO, is a prime candidate to fly off his balcony..
