Rapists and murderers are dispicable people and most often are not the types of people that pass themselves off as outstanding citizens. People like Dennis K. however that enjoy the limelight, money infuence and respect of many American people are held to a much higher, as they should be, standard. When someone like Dennis does this kind of deception the full force of the law should be used against them. Speaking from a family who has had a loved one murdered I know first hand the emotions that surface. That is typically one family that is in great distress. But what Dennis did effected thousands, maybe 10's of thousands of families that probably lead to some very desperate situations. The punishment must fit the crime and when you steal so many peoples loyalties, trust and futures you have only yourself to blame for those consequences.

I think it is wrong that murderers get shorter sentences than guys like this. He DOES not deserve a stronger punishment than a murderer. Just shows our society thinks more of money than human life.

Yeah, but the Ford CEO makes a base of 12 million....

Liz- You should have broke him out of there.

Dennis Kozlowski is a poster boy for greed and avarice. We should hold his picture up high every day to remind us of what goes on in the bowels of Corporate America. Unfortunately, the Koslowski's, Ebber's and Lay's of the world are like cockroaches. For everyone you see, there are a hundred others you don't see. This includes the CEO's and corporate leadership who are "legally" making decisions based, solely, on what will maximize their bonus, this year, at the expense of the future. These are not the custodians of the American enterprise. These are the thugs of business who steal the future from their company, the jobs from their employees and the strength from America. You can leave Dennis in the roach motel.

Barb You must work at AIG to be so harsh. My grandkids will be dead before AIG pays back even half of what they got in this bailout. So keep getting money from the tax payers and throwing your parties. Just be thankful you still have a job.

Liz, During the 1980's I lived just outside Exeter NH, where Tyco's roots began and I remember Dennis K. I remember the company at that time as an up and comer with many good things being said about its management team. If I had only had the hind site (and a few extra bucks ) to invest in that company at the time,but I had my money and my career invested in the local computer industry at the time.I wish Dennis well and success with his next appeal as I believe his punishment is very harsh and a result of some example setting after the tech bubble burst. I agree with Dennis about the current financial crises and share his frustration. Granted there is plenty of blame to go around but at the heart of this crises are the politicos in Washington who put a lot of pressure on financial institutions to put aside prudent lending standards to promote social goals and accelerate home ownership. Wall street and government regulators are also culpable as well for their practices; excessive leverage,not raising the red flags while all the signs of trouble were clearly visable. Only time and political will can determine how much fraud and corruption played a role and by whom. Barry Ararat,NC

Liz, Usually I like the reporting you do. However, good as it may be that Dennis Koslowski has "paid back" all his debts, I don't want to hear anything out of his mouth except I AM SORRY! How about that for humility and doing the right thing. I had friends that worked for Tyco that were forced to take unpaid furlows while Dennis was having Jimmy Buffet concerts at his house in Europe. Come on! Do you think that we (the regualr working guys) really give a shit about what Dennis has to say from prison. You have done better and you should do better. TV is off for the rest of the day because I do not care about what Dennis has to say. He should finish out his 8 years and then go get a job. Seriously!

Let him go. His excesses seem small now that we've been "raped" by our own government officials. Send Barney Franks to take his place.

Hey Moron, Are you stupid as everyone else, AIG has a loan fool, not a bailout. AIG has to and will pay it all back with interest, the taxpayers gain not lose. Do a litte research peabrain before you write a bunch of crap
