[George W. Bush]

Did he serve his full term?

If not, when was the decision made to parole him? Hmmmm...

You're right. The timing on this is REALLY suspicious.

[blau993]

David Paul served his full term and served it the hard way. The feds really didn't like him, and they made sure he did no time at any "Club Fed." With the possible exception of Al Capone (who was convicted of tax evasion but thought perhaps to be guilty of some more serious stuff as well), I doubt that anyone convicted of purely economic crimes has ever served harder time than he did.

If he is the first 'David Paul', he gets out on Monday.
If not, he didn't serve much of his 11 year sentence.
