I’m sorry but humanity’s obsession with locking up nonviolent people is disgusting. I’m all for the restitution and probation.


There has to be consequences when someone commits white collar crime. If a person gets no jail time and has no money to give, they will get to walk away scot-free after stealing other people’s money through white collar crime.

Are you ok with someone stealing all the money in your 401K, spending it all, and then getting no consequences when caught because the money’s all gone?

I cooked for him in the Summer of 2011. I would get to his house at 6am and cook him 5/6 healthy meals (protein and veggies). By the time the Summer was over he locked pretty good.

I could tell he wasn't too strick with his diet because he would leave Raisin Caine boxes on the counter and his workout buddy lost 20 LBS from eating the food I cooked for Glen.

His favorite dish was my white beans...he called me after he had them for the 1st time.

Me, my friend Fred, and Fred's son (teammates with Glen in high school) flew out to D.C. when the Clippers played at Washington. Garrett was playing for the Wizards and Glen was with the Clippers.

He should take this prison time to get back in shape.

I agree there should be consequences. But, getting a felony is still a big deal and life changer, if they are truly white collar. If they are a career criminal/thug, I agree, getting a felony is no big deal.

This one’s tough, but I still don’t think incarceration is the answer. Usually these people are somewhat intelligent so making them work and garnishing the majority of their income makes sense.

What doesn’t is putting them in prison - all that does is cost everyone including the victims MORE in terms of tax dollars. Then they get out pissed off and become more of a violence risk.

Let them keep enough income to maintain their own living expenses while any extra goes to restitution.

And where were you on demanding Consequences for White Collar crime after the 2008 Crash, the ACA Medicare Fraud case, or a thousand other instances where Wall Street shite Bags walk Scot free?

Gen oughta be punished because he committed fraud, but don’t you dare scream equate this situation with there actually being consequences for white collar criminals!

The truth is: if one piece of shite like Madof or Jeff Skilling (Enron) were sentenced to 10-20 in Angola or Rikers Island, instead of probation or at worst, Club Fed, we would have an equitable criminal justice system!
