How Can Justice Be So Blind?
Roy Brown was homeless and hungry. He was also trying to regain control of his life by going the distance in a Detox centre in Shreveport Louisiana. He succumbed to the hunger, and knowing without funds he couldn’t continue in the Detox centre made the worst decision of his life - to rob a bank.
Christian Milton wasn’t hungry, he was in a fact a high powered, high flying executive of AIG but participated in a fraud and the subsequent cover up of that fraud.
Roy Brown was handed thousands by the alarmed cashier when he robbed the bank (he kept his hand under his jacket and pretended to be armed) - he simply removed one $100 bill and explained he was hungry and handed the other notes back to the teller.
Christian Milton de-frauded investors of $500 million dollars in a pre-meditated and scheming way over a four year period.
Roy Brown was so filled with guilt at robbing a bank he handed himself into Police next day and explained ‘His mother hadn’t brought him up that way’ and that he was ’sorry’.
Christian Milton refused to speak at his trial and indeed offered false information to the Securities and Exchange Commission in a bid to conceal the fraud.
Yesterday Roy Brown was sentenced to 15 years for stealing the $100 bill…
Yesterday Christian Milton was sentenced to 4 years for defrauding $500 million
There are two criminals in my piece above, one is Christian Milton, the other is the law.
