The *other* federal indictment for dumb, inexplicable corruption
Lucky Marc Dreier! He's a gold-credentialed lawyer at the top of his profession—rich, respected, head of a 250-lawyer, king-of-the-hill New York firm. Lucky. Gov. Blagojevich's indictment yesterday effectively hides the news that Dreier apparently traded everything in to run some high-level, blatantly fraudulent investments past some hedge funds and a Toronto pension fund. Not only did it involve wholly-invented documents, but it involved Dreier personally pretending to be someone else in meetings. Tacky. Awkward. New York Times

You know, avmayes... This isn't Riyadh. You know they're not gonna saw your hands off here, alright? The worst they would ever do is they would put you for a couple of months into a white-collar, minimum-security resort!
