Talk to the people he cheated and are now bankrupt. He stole money from his workers to give away to charities in New York - that's not charity. It is theft. He stole money from the bank - that is theft. The only large donation he gave to the Postville community was money he was ordered to give as part of a settlement with the EPA!!! What is upsetting is there many, many other kosher companies who manage to work within the law and make a profit and are good members of their community's. <br>BTW, the plant goes up for auction on Monday. It will be interesting to see who wants to buy it or if it goes for scrap. Lets hope the boys working there have jobs lined up.

He nurture and brought the town from almost non existence back to life. He supported lives of hundreds if not thousands of needy. There was greed, he did not live in a million dollar mention, he did not drive fancy Mercedes Benz neither did his wife were fancy jewelry. He supported local schools, and not only local. He supported many other worthy causes. As far as illegal immigrants (if they were illegal) working at the plant, they work everyway today. And though it may not be a good excuse to hire them but nobody else seems to be getting punished to the degree Agree is getting punished. There is definite prejudice and smearing campaign against Rubashkin. Unlike Ken Lay Rubashkin took lives of thousands and improved them.

It is a case of greed - plain and simple. No one rasied any questions about Ken Lay's "ethnic group" when he took Enron down and destroyed the lives of thousands. Greed knows no ethnic boundry.
