It wasn't Arthur Anderson himself that got in trouble. Mainly because he died about 60 years agoin 1947 I think. THe firm is currently owned and operated by dozens of "partners". They are more like shareholders than a real partnership. \n\nIn any case the Arthur Anderson/Enron scandal brought about a set of laws known as the Sarbannes-Oxley Act. This is an act that required certain publically traded companies to take greater care in correcting accounting errors in the books and records. THis is oversimplified but nonetheless that is the basis of the Act.\n\nHowever the firm is in deep trouble and is barely operating right now. Please see the attached link for information.

Call or go to the court house that is in the county that the violation occurred and speak with the circuit clerks office.  They keep track of that kind of thing there.

I can't imagine what happened!  How can you make sense out of that?  It should have been thrown out of court.  I am so sorry, what a drag!

The Arthur Administration enacted the first general Federal immigration law. Arthur approved a measure in 1882 excluding paupers, criminals, and lunatics. Congress suspended Chinese immigration for ten years, later making the restriction permanent.

The offense was extremely severe and violated a federal law.  In state court, you face an elected Judge and it is heard at a local venue (where the offense occurred).  In federal court, it is in the nearest federal court and you face being imprisoned far from home.  You also have a Judge who is appointed, not elected.   Hope this helps.

I just saw the last episode tonight, May 3. Those guys should be locked up for about 10 years for the first offense. They won't stop until they see some severe penalties for it. I'm not sure even the cops and judges really get it, how bad it is. They get slapped on the wrist.

That's awful, just awful. \n\nThat's just one of the MANY things that is wrong with the judicial system today. When did we as a country begin to look out more for the criminal than the victim.

Unfortunately, due to the recent flash of facism these days, he will receive a completely unorthodox amount of time behind bars or probation.\n\nAll you can hope is that the people involved in his case are not a bunch of assholes and will either give him his first offence warning or maybe rehab.
