Crimes and punishments.

Blago gets 14 years for attempting to sell a senate seat for $3-400,000. Corzine runs an outfit that ripped folks off for 1.2 billion and gets no time. Wall street thugs piss away and transfer billions and billions and nobody goes to jail. They take more trillions in bailouts and turn around and give themselves 6 figure bonuses. John Edwards defrauds the government for 1/2 a million in campaign cash and is still running around. Congress exempts themselves from insider trading prosecution but Martha Stewart does time. Sure seems like there are some real imbalances in our sentencing ways.

Give it time grasshopper, the Blago case has taken almost 4 years till the sentence and Corzine has only been in the spot light for a few months now. John Edwards is getting closer every day. Now it all boils down to who you know in power, as most of these guys such as Wall Street, K street and Congress are the power.

Absolutely, they've all got their noses in the troughs, and they're all defrauding the taxpayer.

Grasshopper???

Sure, it's always been that way. The largest sentences are the ones where people steal from the gov't. In many cases more severe than the ones for child molestation or abuse. It's all about priorities, my friend.
