They are, if it makes sense. This guy scammed people out of millions and it was due to greed. Blaming it on the drink and drugs is laughable.

I'll say the same thing here that I did there.

Twelve years was not enough.

I drank like a fish in my 20s, sometimes I would have 10 drinks per day. I know addiction VERY well.

How do you know? what is the basis for you to make that conclusion? did you read the pre-sentence investigation report? did you read his sentencing memorandum?

Nobody is disputing that he's a con man. That's why he's in this position. I would have, and have in the past, done the same thing. its negligent not to.
