I wonder why Edwards doesn't plead out at this point. He's been incarcerated longer than Turino. is it possible he really IS demented, and doesn't understand that's his best shot?
I am glad to finally see some of these dirt bags who were involved with the CMKM CMKX scam face justice. Does not surprise me at all that John Edwards is having mental stability issues. Was Ines working for Turino? She was pushing a lot of side stock sales for a while. You could tell she was working for one of those guys to offload on some kind of underground market.
But what do you think the chances are, that those who currently hold any shares in the companies mentioned, will ever see a dime?
