He also got a good outcome in terms of the facility he'll be in. Tennis facilities, minimal security, no fences, yoga clases, etc.

It ain't Oz that's for sure.

"For a 63-year-old man, 6 1/2 years is a lot of time to spend,

From a practical point of view . . . . . that's very true.

Most are doing okay through their 60's, the prime retirement years, but once they cross the 70 yard line, things can change quite a lot.

He'll be coming out of prison almost on top of 70 years old.

Still, no sympathy for him.

Well he can stay below his years physically by taking advantage of the yoga classes and tennis courts; I assume they have a fully-functional spa and wet bar as well?

No way man. Its gonna be hell.

In white collar country club prison, someone who ripped off their shareholders is equivalent to pedophiles in federal pound-in-the-ass prison.

Not tolerated.....

All the fraudulent CEOs know that....

Hes gonna get beat down at Tennis and shuffleboard SOOOO badly!!!

Ah, but is it a bad thing?
