WorldCom CEO Sentenced to Prison

In proof that the legal system in this country is not completely broken, Bernard Ebbers was sentenced to 25 years in prison for his role in the fraud he oversaw at WorldCom. I think those in charge of corporations and businesses need to be held accountable and this sets a good precedent. I'd like to see more prosecutions of CEOs whose companies knowingly defraud consumers, employees, or the public in general.
