At first, I thought it was the David Brooks who writes as an op-ed columnist for the New York Times.

If convicted, Brooks could spend rest of his life in jail.

I'll believe that when I see it.

“This is another form of corporate irresponsibility, of where corporate officers knowingly ship defective products in order to boost the revenue of the company to benefit themselves financially,” shareholders’ attorney Bill Lerach told ABC’s Brian Ross in 2002.”

How ironic to have Bill Lerach talking about corporate irresponsiblity. He too is headed to federal prison for his ginned up lawsuits.

Nothing funny about this. This guy sold body armor (”Interceptor”—sound familiar?) to my Marines that had not passed the tests he certified it had. He’s a war profiteer and should rot in prison.

I find much more scandalous that he sold defective body armor to the U.S. military for soldiers and local police than spending 10 million on a bat mitzvah

Must be my priorities are out of whack < / s >

We need to make an example of him. Throw away the key.

Well, we wouldn't want little Elizabeth to think that her bat mitzvah was a religious ceremony or anything. I mean, we wouldn't want her to think that it was a celebration of her taking on adult religious responsibility. I'm sure that by spending that much money, David Brooks managed to eradicate any kind of solemnity that might have misled his daughter into taking her religion seriously.

In 2004, DHB Industries was awarded a $200 million contract to provide body armor to the U.S. military for soldiers fighting on the front lines in Iraq and Afghanistan.

It'd be interesting to find out who DHB Industries' biggest supporters were.

$10 Million for a Bat Mitzvah? Sounds like a scene from the movie “Keeping up with the Steins”.

I’ll be surprised if he gets much of a sentence. People like him can afford lawyers who are able to make sweet deals for their clients where they avoid doing more than 1-2 years.

Look, I’m all for capitalism, and the principle that within broad limits, you should be able to spend your money any way you like, even on hiring a roster of celebrity musicians for your daughter’s bat mitzvah that’s eclectic to the point of overkill...but even if he’d spent his own ten mill instead of the company’s, it WAS overkill. (And again...what? David Lee Roth wasn’t available?)
