Former Guinness PLC chairman Ernest Saunders was sentenced to five years in prison for masterminding an illegal operation to boost the stock price of the famed $11.6 billion brewing and distilling group and thus helping the company win its successful $5.23 billion takeover battle for Distillers, the Scottish liquor maker.
Unlike Boesky, Saunders will no longer have millions when he emerges from prison: before sentencing, he was forced to apply for the British equivalent of welfare to survive.
