Witness to a Prosecution: The Myth of Michael Milken is a must read about the total corruption of US government lawyers, judges and agencies. Michael Milken committed no articulable crimes and no one was harmed. Yet he was sentenced to 10 years in jail, forced to pay $900 million in penalties (2,800 times more than the guesstimated economic damages associated with the allegations) and was even denied permission to travel for prostate cancer treatment during probation unless he checked back into prison. And that doesn’t even begin to cover all the wrongdoing inflicted on him for purely arbitrary and political reasons. I worked at the US Securities and Exchange Commission during the persecution of Milken. I can verify the basic corruption common among SEC attorneys. I am ashamed that I ever set foot in the place.
