Do you think the former KU employees convicted in the ticket scandal should have to pay back the money that was lost?
Asked at Dillons, 1740 Mass. on February 10, 2011
“Theoretically, yes. They’re not exactly going to be in any money soon though.”
“Yeah, definitely. I definitely think they should.”
“I really don’t know. Maybe they should pay for their own jail time.”
“If they could afford to pay it probably wouldn’t accomplish much.”

I'll take the fifth.
grammaddy 2 years, 3 months ago
I'll have some of that fifth if you would be so kind as to share. Seems to me that paying back any money that has been stolen is usually part of the punishment in any theft case. Why would this be any different?
sr80 2 years, 3 months ago
because they(the crooks)are/were part of the ku hiearchy,its tough to punish your good friends,since there are a lot more people that should go down with them,but they are innocent,like " i didn't know what was going on lew"!!!!

Of course. And as a season ticket holder, I will gladly supply them with a deposit slip to my checking account. Please pass the fried pork belly. Sounds good.

If someone robbed a bank of $1 million and got caught 2 days later. Would the police say, you get to keep the money ,but you must do 5 years time for the robbery and everything will be squared away and your sentance will be completed?

thats what they do with the crooks from wallstreet, government,etc.........the rich don't get punished,fact of life.

Are you talking about...
1) An individual person
2) A group of individuals
3) A corporation
Oh wait... it's all the same thing, right? :)

they could pay back the money by working off the amounts. window washing the athletic facilities, toilet cleaning during games , there is plenty of that needed. then there is always cleaning the stadium after games and the fieldhouse as well. There can never be enough labor. And of course, some kind of uniform should be worn to identify them.' ushering the patrons to their seats as well.
that's a fair way to pay off the debts. I don't see how this is such a big deal to figure out.
And there would be 1099s issued each year for a partial amount of the total owed, so that they would pay income tax on what they took.
it is done quite frequently with debt write offs so it is legal
oneeye_wilbur 2 years, 3 months ago
No one presently employed would lose their jobs, those involved will be working as well. Just imagine having them clean toilet facilities as the games go on. The bathrooms would be spotless. Just like in Germany!
I see no reason why they cannot work off the debt. Work on weekends, they will sacrifice their currently spare time. There can never be enough labor. Shoveling walks on campus, pulling weeds. It can be done.
But it won't happen, because it is too logical.
FloridaSunshine 2 years, 3 months ago
wilbur...your last line hits the nail on the head. That's the frustrating thing about these discussion forums...when someone makes an absolutely logical statement (for a solution to a problem)...no one pays any attention.
WHY IS THAT??
Alceste 2 years, 3 months ago
I think the time would be better spent on sprucing up the Candice Davis Memorial Steps. BOO to anything connected with cleaning(s) for the "Athletic Corporation".

After their lawyers are done representing them, there will be little left to return. That said restitution should be required.

Trick question? How can you pay back something that is lost? Stolen - pay back yes.

He must make restitution in full, add a fifth of the value to it, and give it all to the owner. Leviticus 6:5
