Those of you despairing of rich people being able to buy their way out of trouble may be encouraged by this headline—Scrushy, Siegelman found guilty on federal conspiracy, bribery charges .

I think we need another statute, like RICO only this one could be called COCO: the “CEO-Influenced Corrupt Organization” statute.
