Now that there will be no trial, will we ever learn the identity of the 135 feds who bought SRU degrees?
The US attorneys must have been relieved when the case ended without trial. We probably would have found that Liberia did accredit St. Regis and the US government was responsible for Liberia withdrawing accreditation, laying the way for charges.
It sure is lucky that the Secret Service and the FBI had all the real crimes solved so they had time to put so much effort into the St. Regis case. I'm sure if the defendants were not old and severely ill they would have considered fighting the case to the end. But they settled because the crime was minor and there is little liklihood of a tough sentence. If they lock Steve in jail, they better have the best standard of heart disease care readily available or Dixie could still end up a millionaire.
