Bernie Ebbers, WorldCom Chief Jailed for Fraud, Will Leave Prison Early – The New York Times

By Securities Docket on December 19, 2019, 10:44 am

Bernard J. Ebbers, who was imprisoned in 2006 after his conviction in one of the biggest American frauds of the 20th century, will soon be free after serving a little over half of a 25-year sentence.

Mr. Ebbers, also known as Bernie, was sent to federal prison after carrying out an $11 billion accounting fraud as chief executive of the telephone company WorldCom. He was granted a compassionate release by a federal judge in New York, Valerie E. Caproni, a spokesman for the United States attorney’s office in Manhattan said on Wednesday. The spokesman did not know when Mr. Ebbers would be freed.
