Interesting read.
Former Tyco CEO Dennis Kozlowski back in M&A business
Is the interesting part that he's trying to reboot professional efforts, or is there a security tie in here?
Trying to reboot at 70 is interesting, Florida not recognizing his conviction is interesting, but his perspective needs some more work. He got a longer jail sentence than a mass murderer? Not.

Anders Behring Breivik (killed 75 people and injured 319), sentenced to 21 years.
Dennis Kozlowski sentenced to 8-25 years.
Dennis: What? This mass murderer got less time than I did, can you believe it?!?
Cellmate: C'mon Dennis you're being a bit ridiculous; its just not fair to compare a Norwegian sentence with a U.S. sentence.
Dennis: Yeah, I guess you're right. Thanks, I feel a little better now.
Many US States have the death penalty as max sentence for murder.
It's just silly to continue that a notorious white collar criminal who stole hundreds of millions of dollars is getting off too harshly. Especially compared to a murderer.

Ok, but I was only responding to this:
He got a longer jail sentence than a mass murderer? Not.
Kozlowski's quote was:
My sentence was longer than mass murders
Note, it says mass murders - plural. #1 found a single mass murder in another country as a rebuttal, which is a poor response given that 'mass murders' on average get life sentences.
In any event, if that is really what he said, that's quite a sign he has not learned from his prison time.

IMHO, it was mostly pathetic hyperbole. As in "Look at my sentence! 25 years, and I didn't even kill anyone!"
But since Mark took it literally, I defended it literally.
Though I doubt Shaloam Weiss, with a scheduled release of November 23, 2754, would sympathize much :)
