I mean if you put the same magnifying glass to the practices of others in Black's position of authority would they fair any better? I suspect most would be found guilty of much. Never the less, the law was broken and these type of high profile cases must serve to at least somewhat curb the excesses of some within Black's peer group. I hope Black gets less than 5 years.

Have you researched into Black's transgressions? This is not a case of just a greedy corporate type. He (allegedly) stole. Millions. Innocent people were hurt by his actions.
And as for defending him creating a "voice" in Canada? I am all for a conservative veiwpoint, but only as long as it comes about through a democratic process. People wrote what Conrad wanted to hear, that is not journalism.
