Formula One Boss Bernie Ecclestone Facing Imprisonment For Bribery

The possibility that Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone could face criminal charges carrying a lengthy prison sentence has been raised. The development came in the trial of German banker Gerhard Gribkowsky, which resumed in Munich this week.

For the first time, the former risk manager of the BayernLB bank in the Bavarian city admitted in court that he had taken millions of dollars from the CEO of the Formula One group—payments he said he regarded as bribes.

We all know that wealthy billionaires do not go to prison for anything that deals with money.

I would hope that you realize that it is fairly inaccurate to describe the Koch brothers as Republicans. They are more accurately described as Libertarians. For example; they support gay marriage.

There are more things in heaven and earth, blazinboy, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

You mean billionaires like Madoff and Stanford?

Madoff would still be doing it if his son didn't turn him in. He wasn't actaully caught.
