The law and what might have been
Damn... I had been planning to kill someone, I had my long knife sharpened and ready, but I got caught. Do I have to pay damages to his family now? ;p
$180 million at $500 a month . . .

TAMPA -- A man who schemed to steal satellite television signals now has something much bigger than a cable bill to pay -- a whopping $180 million restitution order on which he is to make $500 monthly payments.
A full payback would take 30,000 years.

U.S. District Judge James Moody ordered the restitution Wednesday, based on a formula of how much Frazier's intended victims, Direct TV and Echostar, would have lost if his scheme had succeeded. The television companies estimate they could have lost $900 million in business.
