SkyDekker 1,465 #1 September 26, 2006 You have to wonder what went through his mind on this road trip..... Quote Ex-CEO Bernard Ebbers of WorldCom reports to La. prison for 25-year term Tue Sep 26, 3:24 PM OAKDALE, La. (AP) - Former WorldCom chief Bernard Ebbers drove through the gates of a U.S. prison Tuesday to begin a 25-year federal prison sentence for his role in the US$11 billion accounting fraud that toppled a company he built from a tiny telecommunications firm to an industry giant. Behind the wheel of a Mercedes he had driven from Mississippi, the Alberta native pulled the bill of his cap down, shielding his face from reporters and photographers, as he drove into the prison. Ebbers, 65, left his upscale, brick-and-stucco home in a gated community in the Jackson suburb of Ridgeland about 9 a.m. EDT Tuesday. He arrived shortly after 2 p.m. EDT at Oakdale. At his home on Monday, he had refused to answer any questions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
