  This is Part 2 of Chris MacDonald's interview with Walt Pavlo, on the 24-year jail term recently handed to Jeff Skilling.
  ...
  WP: Those are questions, Chris, that get back to this very long sentence: the guy was fighting for his life.I think if you put any person in that situation, where he just felt like he had to defend his character, or whatever, or really defend himself so that he wouldn't be put away for the rest of his life.He had to adopt that strategy, because the alternative was such a long time in prison.
  
  That's a fine line.Where do you provide an incentive for someone to be honest, and still punish them, and allow them to really tell a story and be remorseful and let us critique it: you know, is he really sorry?Did he really tell us anything?And I think, again, his story is going to go with him to go to prison.And that's going to have to be his story, which is that he didn't do anything wrong, which is absolutely ridiculous.It's ridiculous.
  
  So we have a Prosecution that says ,everything he did was wrong.' You have a defense that says ,I did absolutely nothing wrong.' And then, we're left in the middle.I'm just speculating,but that's where we're left.I think that's unfortunate: I'd rather hear it from him.There's got to be some deterrent where he's punished, he's allowed to come clean, and lay it all out there about things that he did right and things that he did wrong.I think we could learn from it, but as it is I don't think we can learn from it.

  Chris MacDonald, an ethics expert at Saint Mary's University in Halifax, Canada, says that even if a board member or executive at a public company doesn't profit from a leak, his motives could be questioned by shareholders.
  
  "If shareholders in general get the sense that some people are getting preferential treatment, it may make them doubt the loyalties of corporate executives, and hence make them less willing to invest," MacDonald said.
