        I saw that on the BBC site.

        I don't see how it's anything other than state sanctioned bribery allowing you to buy (bribe) your way out of the case. Ok it will sting a tiny bit, but compared to his fortune it's chicken feed.

        The guy he bribed gets 8 years, he pays what to him is pocket change, justice?

          $100m buys a lot of Lederhosen for the Bavarian people. Bernie in das Klinkenhaus for a few months doesn't really help anyone.

            He had a negative bluety on a quackhandle and was quadraspazzed on a lifeglug.

            I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

                If this happened in England we all could have complained.....

                  Logically then, all defendents should be offered a cash alternative to a trial?
