It's a good thing Brant wasn't pirating software too, he may have got the chair.

In all seriousness though, I highly doubt any of last weeks "little fish" (like the guy with one mod chip) will spend more than a weekend in jail. Just enough to drive home the fact that this is a no-no. Not horribly unjust, I think.

I'm loathe to come down hard on the DA for letting this guy off. Yeah, backdating options was a crappy thing to do, but he did plead guilty, and he did cooperate with investigators. Besides, $7.3 million isn't chump change.

As to the mod chip thing, that's a whole different story being handled by a whole different set of people. If anything comes of it, I'm going to be very upset.

Isn't America great, in a country where if you're rich and you steal millions of dollars, all you have to do is gave some of the money you stole to the government and you don't go to jail..... I'm moving

"They" have to keep room in the jails for the mod-chip importers/installers...

GP, you should have included the reason in full why he's getting probation:

Brant, 35, pleaded guilty in February to falsifying business records. As part of a plea agreement with Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau, he avoided prison time by cooperating with an investigation of illegal backdating at the company, the maker of ``Grand Theft Auto'' video games.

``This is a good reminder in an atmosphere where corporate heads are being sent to lengthy prison terms that, if you cooperate and you own up, you will be rewarded for your efforts,'' said former prosecutor Thomas Curran, a white collar defense lawyer at Ganfer & Shore in New York.

More than 200 companies have disclosed internal or federal probes into whether they inflated the value of options awarded to executives by backdating or timing the grants to coincide with days when their stock price was low.

Make games about criminality... become a corporate criminal yourself. Jack was right, video games do lead to crime, if you are a Take 2 stooge anyway.
