I always found the Sohappy case rather interesting. It just happened that Sohappy was sentenced on the same day that junk-bond king Ivan Boesky was. Sohappy got five years for illegal fishing, Boesky got three-and-half in a federal minimum-security facility for defrauding investors of billions of dollars. Neither one served the full sentence, Sohappy was released early because of failing health and Boesky because of his good behavior.
