Can you believe the headlines ?   What are you reading ?   I'm reading about Michael Milliken , the Bond King .   Didn't he sell worthless stocks to people or something ? He got arrested for that , didn't he ?   He got arrested all right .   If I remember , he got off with a light sentence . Something like three years in a minimum-security prison .   Yup , that's him . He made millions of dollars selling bonds to people and ended up with a pile of cash when they became useless .   I think the government fined him a small amount , and he kept the rest in his foreign bank accounts . He's still a millionaire .   That's the kind of thing in America that gets me mad . Some guy pulls off a stock scheme and makes millions while spending the bare minimum sentence in jail .   I know . And some poor guy that robs a liquor store makes $ 500 at most and ends up in jail for five to ten years .   Yup , you got it . Criminals in America do a lot better if they're white-collar thieves .   So what's Michael Milliken up to these days ?   He's giving lectures on business at colleges .
