With news today that the 11th Office of Tax and Revenue embezzlement scheme co-conspirator has received her prison sentence, all we have left in the case is to await the sentencing of mastermind Harriette Walters. Connie Alexander, Walters' gambling friend who was one of the first people to come forward to cooperate with the authorities in the wake of the scandal, was sentenced to almost four years in prison by U.S. District Judge Alexander Williams Jr. yesterday, the Post reports. All 12 indicted members of the $50 million conspiracy have pleaded guilty, and the 11 who have already been sentenced received prison time ranging from one year up to six and a half years. You can be sure that Walters will receive the longest sentence of all 12. She's scheduled to be sentenced in June.

Can you pepper your Harriette Walters stories with con man slang from Oceans Eleven or the Sting? While she is a poor substitute for George Clooney, you have to work with what you have.
Penny-ante grifters like Walters should be cracking rocks in the stony lonesome. But their mouthpieces will probly get them out after doing a nickle in the joint. That's what you get for glomming glad rags with the taxpayers' mazuma.
