Mercy for whom? The EEs who lost their jobs, all of the people’s lives he injured? Or are you pleased that he didn’t have to give up all of the money he made in his wrongdoing and didn’t have to serve the maximum sentence for his wrongdoing. He didn’t even get the max of the plea agreement. Close though. And he’s lead a very good life and will again when he’s released.
Thank God for Trial Lawyers and the ability to file Class Actions. Otherwise, the true wrongdoers – the companies that cheated their shareholders – would get away scott- free. Trial Lawyers and Class Actions, as well as possible criminal prosecution by the government, are the only thing keeping any semblance of fairness in our capital systems, which we need to finance our businesses and our Country.
It would be nice if it worked that way most of the time. Unfortunately there are attorney’s who have turned class-action into an art form for their own benefit. How many people have been put into a “class” against some manufacturer where the ultimate reward for “class members” is some worthless gift certificate? Add that up among all the class members, take 30% and you come up with the take by the lawyer bringing the class action against the manufacturer. Nice work if you can get it….over and over…
Weiss owes a lot of people a lot of money.
Namely those he defrauded while pursuing his own interests. Who knows how much potential business I lost as a result of his actions, and the screaming newspaper and television headlines, which maybe caused policyholders to unchoose my company. Then to find out it was a scheme orchestrated to make him rich?
And what did it cost my on board policyholders who paid higher rates while my good company defended itself against fraud, only to lose? Don’t thank God, Peter. Thank greed.
This country is morally bankrupt and legal system is a sham. Take an oath, spit in the face of the law you pledged to uphold, make a mockery of the justice system, enjoy the good life until you’re 73 and near death, then whine and beg for mercy because you’re spending a lousy 30 months in a Federal vacation resort?
Henry VI by William Shakespeare, Part 2, Act IV, Scene II, Lines 83-84:
(To paraphrase) Dick the Butcher: “The first thing we do, let’s kill all the (greedy) lawyers’. …”
An example of the legal profession taking care of its own. Age has no factor in sentencing. For what he cost consumers and companies 10 years would have been more appropriate, along with a fine of 50% of the fees he “earned”. If he dies in jail — SO?
Shameful. I am at a loss for words.

Must be Peter is in the Legal Profession and a benefitor of criminal activities…
Lets rob Peter so we can pay Paul.

Another class action sleaze is a Cincinnati lawyer, Stan Chesley.
Check him out!
