No question. But that’s cool. In the process, he’s high-lighting dirty work by a member of the Big Four Organized Crime family.

Cheers!

Token convictions serve the purpose of creating an image that the police and the courts are working, while hiding the awful truth: they are on the dole from the crime syndicates.

That is how a crime is flipped flopped into an advantage, into public relations.

I imagine that the money paid to charity is then reduced from the charity account and the public relations account.

I speculate that Spitzer is going for the headlines. It is a way to gain household recognition on the name and hence setup for a future in politics at a higher level. One thing about Spitzer is he plays as dirty as those he hits with these law suits. Most corporations aren’t going to bat an eye at the fine, they will bat an eye when he cuts into the funds going to share holders. He understands the level they survive at and threatens them at that level. That gets attention that would otherwise become the equivalent concern of batting at a fly. I read a short biography on him in one of the articles that came through that he is from a rich family and grew up in the money. From that he learned the corporation setup and mentality from the head down. He uses that to great effect. Putting pressure just where it is needed to make the most of it.

Criminal conviction would be a good result but a corporation will feed the public a figurehead to take the fall and keep on trucking. While I would dearly love to see the same responcibility that is forced on employees of other corporations in the part of personal liability, I don’t see this happening and it being effective if that is the total sum outcome. Put their root money and their base purpose for existing as a corporation at stake and heads will roll within.

There is one other thing about personal liability. If it ever becomes that the corporations won’t stand behind their employees as long as they are not willfully guilty of committing a crime through planning, or through purposeful neglect, then there won’t be many that will put the responcibilty as worth the job. Meaning that those same corporations won’t hire within the borders any more than absolutely necessary due to the expense being figured in at a per person cost of doing business. Simply what will happen instead is outsourcing will become epidemic compared to what it is today as they figure ways to reduce the liablilty costs associated with that employment.

yup, but at least this time the MSM and the justice system have taken notice rather than being snowjobbed by the industry spin, it’s a step in the right direction for sure.
