Lol, it sounds pretty likely to be honest. someone powerful steals more gets less, someone "non-powerful" steals little gets double the punishment. Welcome to our corrupt the worldvsps7 wrote:^-80% sure fake

I think its real also. I know someone who got fined £75 for throwing their cigarette end on the floor, and someone who beat some girl up in the news paper got like a £50 fine loll3arcode wrote:Lol, it sounds pretty likely to be honest. someone powerful steals more gets less, someone "non-powerful" steals little gets double the punishment.

Re: /b/
I'm sorry, I was wrong. But the comparison isn't exactly fair, as we don't know all the details of the fraud thingy. This gives more info on fraud thingy

Re: /b/
Still. Massive company whos only ambition is greed, get off lightly for stealing money. Homeless guy who is just trying to get food and shelter (2 basic necessities any human strives for) gets very big sentence.
I don't see how that webpage changes anything.

Re: /b/
The thing that happened to the homeless guy was unacceptable, yes, but it's wrong to compare with the CEO guy. Take a look at this.
They did not get off lightly, the CEO just helped while it was already going on before he was CEO, but the real starter of this, a man name Farkas, got 30 years. We don't know about the CEO. Maybe he found himself trapped in all this hoax, maybe he was almost forced to do it. I do know it's wrong, but I feel 40 months is somewhat justice enough seeing the circumstances.Snopes.com wrote:In June 2011, Paul R. Allen, the former CEO Taylor, Bean and Whitaker Mortgage Corp. was sentenced to 40 months in prison for his part in aiding and abetting the efforts of TBW's former chairman, Farkas, to defraud the U.S. Treasury's Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP)...
...Mitigating factors in Allen's sentencing were the fact that the fraud was already underway when he became CEO of TBW in 2003, that his crime was a non-violent one, and that Allen was one of six persons who received credit on their sentences for cooperating with investigators and testifying against Farkas, the mastermind of the fraud scheme. (Farkas himself was sentenced to thirty years in prison.)



Re: /b/
Sorry but I can't take you for serious Penguin because I noticed you have a tendency to troll a lot.
However if you're actually serious, I thought that aiding and abetting meant to assist with someone in a crime in any way while knowing so, and to not try and put a stop to it.
I'm not too familiar with justice systems, but I believe those charged with aiding and abetting are charged the same as the guy who actually did it, I think. But in this case it was already going on, so I guess it didn't apply to him.
Please do mistake me if I'm wrong, and sorry if i am

No I was being serious this time :)They did not get off lightly, the CEO just helped while it was already going on before he was CEO
Of course it applies, you could be charged with aiding and abetting for a crime 25 years old. As long as you are aware of the activities (it does not matter when you become aware) and then you help, you are guilty.
Regardless of if it was going on before he was CEO, he should have immediately told someone in the company/authorities the second he became aware of the illegal activities and definitely should not have helped them in anyway shape or form after he became aware.
For example, if you kill someone 5 years ago, and tell me about it, and I help you to hide the body in a better place, that is still aiding and abetting, even if I was not there/aware of your activities when you killed him.
In Canada aiding and abetting does actually carry the same sentence as the crime it is linked with, I believe.
Anyway white collar crime is very rarely taken as seriously as it should be, hence the short sentence.


Most BS you read all day^
