Former Representative Duke Cunningham will be sentenced soon for conspiracy to commit bribery, tax evasion and honest-services fraud. He had the effrontery to have a price list for those who bribed him: $16 million in contracts was worth a $140,000 yacht, then for every $1,000,000 additional contract the price was $50,000. He evn offered a volume discount.
When he realized that the FBI was on his case, he solicited people to lie for him. He sold his house to a defense contractor for $1,685 million; a year later the contractor sold it for $985,000 in an up market.
