I cannot believe I had not seen this before (I am an econ./finance news/data junkie), regarding the latest on Allen Stanford.

It seems some white collar crooks do still land in rough prisons [Texas] (no word on whether or not they can access ihub from their cells).

A bit older article with some more gruesome footage:

If I lacked a conscience--I would think that such an outcome would serve as a harsh deterrent to scammy activities--but it's really hard to get inside the head of sociopaths and megalomaniacs--so maybe there is no such thing as a deterrent for that set of people.
