Lower I think. They are so steeped in ordure that an appearance before a US federal court would be seen as a positive accolade...but then I am somewhat biased.
Conrad Black, former owner of the Daily Telegraph (Conservative Party daily house journal), allegedly used its funds as his own personal expenses account, thus (allegedly...keep having to use that word) defrauding shareholders of Quite a Lot of Money.
I dont know what it is about newspaper tycoons and (alledged) charges of corrruption. The real blot on the landscape here was Robert Maxwell owner of the Daily Mirror and mossad agent. All charges against him were of course postumously upheld. Believe you have had some problems in the same genre no?
