      <![CDATA[A lawsuit led by a shareholder against Thompson and other directors was settled in 2005 when the company's insurance firm agreed to pay $50 million.
    The case against the directors was civil, not criminal, I think because no one has accused them of intentionally cheating shareholders.

      <![CDATA["No board member is charged with anything" but apparently they approved some poor business decisions, so what?  Who is defrauded?  The Board approved the decision.  Don't shareholders have to live with bad business decisions every day?  It seems the prosecution is trying to say the Board was not aware of what they were approving...in which case Gov Thompson should not be signing paperwork.

      <![CDATA[No board member is charged with anything. Company execs are charged with fraud -- and that includes allegedly telling the board too little or nothing at all about certain self-enriching deals. I believe SCAM is reading too much into some photos of a man having a bad day. Having seen Thompson in court I would not call him stooped or broken.

      <![CDATA[The charges here are confusing to me.  The Board approved the payments, obviously by the signarture of JT.  It may have been a bad business decision, but Boards make bad decisions all the time.  
    
    What is illegal about make bad decisions?

      <![CDATA[Mr. Kerner should take some comfort from the cover photographs of Thompson in the Chicago papers.  They depicted Big Jim as a stooped and broken -- and possibly constipated -- old man.
