If you remember the name Marc Rich, a guy that Bill Clinton pardoned on his last day in office; it looks bad for david carruthers. Marc Rich fled the US (to Switzerland where he was also citizen), after his corporation pleaded guilty and agreed to testify against him. He always contended that because the corporation had sold him out in it’s plea, he couldn’t get a fair trail. He was smart enough to stay away from the courtroom and now he is safe again.
It sounds like carruthers is going to be made the example for all the English folks who think they are “immune” to US law. Unfortunately his high public profile made him a perfect target, an example to be set and federal prosecutors love to set examples and get on television.
