The mind of a true thief

Disgraced New York City attorney Marc Dreier’s letter to his sentencing judge was quite interesting. His recent 60 Minutes interview is just as fascinating.

Dreier — who unquestionably stole over $400 million — received a lighter prison sentence than former Enron CEO Jeff Skilling, who didn’t steal a dime.

There is a huge difference between what Marc Dreier did and what Jeff Skilling did. It reflects poorly on us that our criminal justice system cannot distinguish between the two.
