John J. Rigas

[PGalt]

Thanks for your post.

There are lots of domestic enemies of freedom. Adelphia (Iraq) is another example. It's Rigas (Hussein), his 3 sons (Uday, Qusay, and Udontsay), the board of directors (the Elite Cable Guard), the accountants (the French & German), the lawyers (the UN)

We are battling on many fronts.

Thanks for your post

Lock up this bucaneer. He had his fun, had a great ride and now it's jailtime. 10 years and not in club Fed.

Restitution and fines also

Whatabout ADM, the company that got away with it all?Read "The Informant". It's an eye opener. What will really get to you is the FBI mole was the one that went to jail; not the criminals in the company.

I have no sympathy for this crook.

He and his sons squandered not only what John the founder had built but millions upon millions of the public's money.

It took this administration (thanks to the magnificent Attorney General Ashcroft and President Bush) to haul in the corporate crooks who followed the lead of the Head Crook and crookess - Clintons in the 90's.

He's just been convicted. Along with one of his sons.

The Rigas family was accustomed to ripping off their customers, so it was easy to move up to ripping off the shareholders too.

But I have no sympathy for the Adelphia shareholders. It was clearly a crooked company, and the investors were taking an obvious risk. They gambled and lost. Too bad.
