Pending The Appeal, The Comeuppance: Sentences

- Conrad Black has been sentenced to 6 1/2 years in jail, with 2 subsequent years of supervised release, and a $125,000 fine with $6.1 million in forfeiture. He must report to jail, at last word a Florida prison camp, by March 3rd.

- Peter Atkinson has been sentenced to 2 years and fined $3000, according to BNN's Kim Parlee. Steven Maich adds that Mr. Atkinson is also subject to three years of probation afterwards, and that the sentence was below the amount specified in the sentencing guidelines.

- Jack Boultbee has been sentenced to 27 months in jail and 3 years' probation, as well as $152,000 in fines and forfeitures. Sources: Steven Maich and Romina Maurino.

- Mark Kipnis is going straight to parole after 275 hours' worth of community service, with no fine at all, according to Mr. Maich. He faces six months' worth of home detention, as well as five years' worth of probation.

The announcement of the sentences brings this blog to an end for me; from now on, it'll be moribund. Thanks for reading it.
