But there are a lot of people who got screwed by Nacchio's greed that have stories a lot sadder. Maybe he should have considered the consequences of being away from his family and ruining his life when he was stealing other people's life savings and ruining THEIR lives. How much is enough Joe? Yeah, Nacchio had a pretty sad sob story for the judge. But there are a lot of people who got screwed by Nacchio’s greed that have stories a lot sadder.

How much is enough Joe?

All of these ex-CEOs try everything to pull rabbits out of their hats, but the rabbits, in most cases, turn into cobras, and bite back. Three huge cheers for Judge Nottingham for seeing through the smoked glass being presented by highly paid lawyers whose fees are another burden of the Qwest shareholders. Sounds to me like he was planning this along time ago. Sad, sad, sad. Terrific column Jim, and unbiased as well.

These greedy CEO's must mend their ways and stop thinking they are above the law. I only hope the poor retirees get some of their lost money back. Such a shame when someone so rich has to take money from those working all their lives and making pocket change compared with him. Once again justice has worked.

That must have very frustrating to all the people who lost their retirement savings. At least he’s been de-smirked.

I suspect he was sufficiently clever to have contributed some of his swag to both the National Republican and National Democratic Parties. So political "quid pro quo" dictates that President Bush will grant him a pardon toward the end of his reign. And if he doesn't, his Democratic successor probably will once most of the public has forgotten the matter. (Remember all the gold-plated felons that President Clinton pardoned?) It seems this is just The New American Way. Weep not for Joe Nacchio and his family.
