1. Here ya go

"In 1999, on the eve of the retrial of the federal case, Keating entered a plea agreement: he admitted to having committed bankruptcy fraud by extracting $1 million from American Financial Corp. while already anticipating the collapse that happened weeks later; in return, the federal prosecutors dropped all other charges against him and his son. He was sentenced to the four years he had already served.


"Add the civil suits and judgements against him.

"Keating remains unrepentant, maintaining that not his mistakes but regulator's actions were ultimately responsible for the losses."

8. Good for you and thanks for the update

We suffered from this ass long before (in Cincinnati), where he looted corporations (on a much smaller scale) and tried to control what everyone could see or read via his "Citizens for Decency" organization. It just makes me sick that he is still breathing.
