According to the above link, 21 people and 5 companies were convicted.

White is the last to be sentenced among 21 people and five companies convicted in connection with two federal probes into the construction and financing of the sewer system project. Also convicted in the probes were former Jefferson County commissioners Larry Langford, Chris McNair and Mary Buckelew.

Based on this comment, 4 commissioners were convicted. None of the other 17 were bribe payers? Are you sure?

Further research suggests some of those convicted worked for construction companies building the sewer.

JP Morgan, the bank, as a corporation appears to have been fined. The corporate fine is essentially just a “cost of doing business”, like the electric bill.

I find no evidence, however, that the persons employed by JP Morgan that actually paid the bribes were in any way punished.

If you have evidence to the contrary, I’d love to see it.
