L&H sentencing; Brussels is good place to commit financial fraud:

The sentences that the Lernout & Hauspie criminals received were pathethically lenient.  The defendents received 3 year prison sentences and were fined 25,000€.   Bernie Ebbers (MCI Worldcom) and Ken Lay (Enron) each received 25+ year prison sentences.  They also forfeited virtually all of their personal assets which were in the hundreds of millions of $s.Their fraud was also a bit more sophisticated than what the L&H folks did, which was just gross. None of the L&H criminals ever admitted that they committed the fraud. 

The Belgian legal systems appears to be really pretty awful for honest people.  It took a decade to obtain the 1st conviction.  Now, of course, they will appeal the verdicts.  Highly unlikely that the L&H criminals will ever actually go to prison.

If you commit financial fraud, you should do it in Belgium.

    slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels very a little smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as a lot, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, whilst being just a hair thicker.
