"He's obviously proud that he's not cooperating, and he can be proud in prison," U.S. Atty. Patrick Fitzgerald said.

Boyle was hired by the city despite his 1992 conviction for embezzling millions of dollars in nickels, dimes and quarters from the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority, a crime for which he received the moniker "Quarters."

Boyle's lawyer, James Tunick, called his client "a giving person" who raised money for charity after his brother, a fighter pilot, died in a jet crash.

On learning of the comment, Fitzgerald said, "Giving? Maybe `taking' might be the better word."

8. Stole million$ in COINS? Reminds me of a Little Rascals episode

the kids are in the treasure stash of a miser and one kid is stacking up bags of money to take - he can barely lift one, and he's fixing to take them all.

9. how do you unload millions of dollars in coins?

or I guess he could keep them to use at the laundromat.

10. That's a lot of coin to roll.

[catnhatnh]

12. Sell them to Noe....

....I'm sure he thinks that coins stolen by republicans are "rare"...

11. Maybe he's like Scrooge McDuck, put them all

in a big swimming pool and goes swimming in them.
