Raj Rajaratnam gets 11 years
The trial is over, and the fat cat (literally, that is one fat mofo) is going to jail for a decade. Raj is 54 now and will be 65 when he exits prison assuming he actually serves the whole thing. Of course, we all know he'll get probation in a year or two and maybe be confined to one of his mansions. Not bad for someone who made up to $75m illegally.
Holy shit
That's what happens when you don't get on the plane. Could've been in Sri Lanka, kicking it, but noooooooo.
Sucks to be him
And the homeless guy who steals $100 gets 15. Outrageous. He should be cell mates with Bernie Ebbers until he is 85.
Is there anything specific you are referencing for 15 years for stealing $100 dollars? I understand your point, but I do not think it's common practice to sentence people for 15 years for $100 theft. Although I am no JDOasis user.
He asked, and the judge recommended, he be sent to the same prison as Madoff. That should be a fun sentence. Some other high profile people serve at Butner as well:

He was also fined 10 million.
Non in est accusantium reprehenderit. Fugit dolorem vero at quasi. Est earum enim facere necessitatibus.
