Perhaps Mr. Black's behaviour will end up being judged non-criminal - I'll leave that up to the U.S. Supreme Court to decide on the legal matters.
There is no doubt, however, that Mr. Black is a shining example of corporate executives unable to act in an ethical or moral fashion. He treated a public corporation as his personal ATM - with no withdrawal limits. He carted out boxes of files from his office after being explicitly ordered not to tamper with evidence. He certainly would have denied this act, except for the video evidence of his malfeasance.
L. Ian promoted the sob story that Mr. Black sold his Manhattan apartment in order to pay for his legal defence, only to have the money garnished by the government. Unfortunately, the truth, as reported by Peter C. Newman the previous afternoon, Mr. Black's legal fees have been paid by the Chicago Sun-Times, a newspaper that the former Lord has left bereft, on the verge of bankruptcy.
L. Ian MacDonald offers the opinion, despite his disclaimer that Mr. Black is a former employer and a friend. that poor Conrad is a victim of a grave miscarriage of justice. The listener could do without such self-serving opinions.
The Homerun host that day offered the complement that L. Ian is the ultimate political insider. Perhaps a better term would the ultimate political brown-noser.
