Leona...
"After a two-month trial in Federal Court, Leona Helmsley was convicted of evading $1.2 million in federal income taxes. She was convicted of 33 counts but was acquitted of scheming to extort kickbacks from contractors and suppliers.
Saying that she had been motivated by “naked greed,” Judge John M. Walker sentenced a sobbing Mrs. Helmsley to a four-year prison term and fined her $7.1 million for tax fraud She also had to pay some $1.7 million in back federal and state taxes.
When the proceeding was over and Mrs. Helmsley and her husband descended the 17 front steps of the courthouse in lower Manhattan, people in a crowd on the sidewalk taunted them with shouts about jail time."
I'm sure she did some good stuff, but she shoulda been born a French
aristocrat, 30 yrs before the French Revolution.
All that dough and "power" makes people do strange and very selfish
things, and
no one gets out alive.
