Dennis Kozlowski

I work for a company that Dennis Kozlowski's Tyco bought out in 2000-2001. Immediatedly the salaried personal lost all the benefits that we had with our former company. Pensions, retiree health insurance, if we get sick or injured and have to go on long term disability, we are authomatically terminated along with our health insurance and any other benefits. ( We are Cobra elegible, but if you are out of work and sick, how can one afford the premiums.) It pleases me immensely to see Dennis miserable. He was living the high life and I am forced to work longer than I had planned before retirement. I hope he has to stay the whole 25 years. Rotting in jail is too good for him. I believe everything he said, regarding his compensation and being unaware of what the decorator bought was a lie. The judge should have made Dennis and Schwartz pay back all the money they took. I want my pension back and all the money I lost when the stock plummeted.

After closely watching the newscast, my heart goes out to Mr. Kozlowski. I firmly believe that he is telling the truth about his situation. Since his first trial ended in a mistrial, it seems obvious that the prosecution's "evidence" against him was too complicated to be understood by the average person. Unless the jury was made up of 12 CEO's of comparable companies under comparable circumstances -- growth rate, method of payment for top officials, etc. -- there is no way the jurors could make a fair and accurate ruling in his case. A jury of his peers should at least have had enough CEO's serving to make it a fair playing field. This man worked extremely hard to get where he was, and we all know that hardship breeds character. It is my sincere hope that he will soon be out of prison. With so many ruthless criminals on the streets of America, perpetrating horrible crimes against so many innocent people, it is a travesty to confine a man with Mr. Kozlowski's background. What a waste of a good man, who has so much to contribute to the world. It is my prayer that he will remain strong and healthy, until he is exonerated.

CONVICTED ON 22 OF 23 COUNTS? AND YOU STILL DARE TO SAY YOUR INOCENT? WHERE DOES IT END MISTER? YOU GOT WHAT YOU DESERVE AND THERE WILL BE NO WAY OUT OF IT!! IF ITS OF ANY COMFORT TO YOU;THER'RE FEW OTHER ABUSING HIGH RANKING COMPANY OFFICIALS THAT WILL SOON BE JOINING YOUR RANKS SO FEEL LONLEY NOT FOR LONG...

That's the american way for white men in corporate america. Kozlowski and Swartz just got convicted, there are so many that don't get convicted, etc think about that ?

Kozlowski and Co. just got greedy and took advantage of his power. He got what he deserved.

It boggles the mind that "60 Minutes" would give Koslowski another chance to "tell his side of the story." He already had his opportunity to explain his Caligula-like doings in a court of law and was judged a thief of the worst sort. He deserves to serve his full 25 years in prison. CBS's programming decisions like this one make me sick. I'm surprised Morley Safer, whom I used to admire, would agree to give this man the time to con us again. chrlslorenz@yahoo.com

It makes sick to my stomach to listen to this idiot try to explain how none of this was his fault.

I trust in our law makers and our system. This man should have been working for George W. Bush.

i worked for a company that tyco bought. I think that he just got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. If it wasnt for enron staring the snowball then he would have got a slap on the wrist. At least he did steal people retirements. Well the money he was taking could have been somebody rasie. Tyco keeps the companies or divisons that make money and sells the rest. I think that 8 years and being broke is enough, if he last that long in prison.

I lost thousnds of my hard earned dollars I had invested in TYCO, when the shares went from 35 to 15 I was ruined and just now starting to recover,It still angers me that I lost so much but I forgive you Mr Dennis Koz,
