CHICAGO (AEAE) — Conrad M. Black, once a media mogul was re sentenced to prison today after a successful appeal to the supreme court after a federal judge ruled on Friday that he had not served enough time for defrauding investors. Judge Amy J. St. Eve of United States District Court in Chicago, sentenced Mr. Black to three and a half years in prison, saying that Black had not served enough time in jail (for which he had already served two years). Judge St. Eve had originally sentenced Mr. Black to six and a half years in prison after he was convicted in 2007 of defrauding investors in Hollinger International. A crime of which no one could even understand. Former Illinois Governor Thompson is suppose to even have approved the transactions for which Black was later charged. Black's wife hit the floor upon hearing the re sentencing. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/25/business/media/25black.html
