Lambert points out that we’re at the start of the Tom Petters trial, and so can expect a lot of coverage. Some of the better stuff:
From the Strib: Thief of victim?
From MPR: Trial gets underway
From MSP Business Journal: Trial opens
All Petters, All the Time

The trial of the “Midwestern Madoff” got off to a juicy start, when the affair between Tom “Not-So-Terrific” Petters and Deanna “Blow My Whisle” Coleman was revealed.

Tom is just a victim of those dirty rats that worked for him…

Oh poor ass hole got caught and now it is someone elses fault. Give me a break. The big problem I have is maintaining two separate prison systems. One for these shit breathers and another for the street level criminals. Hell put them all together and let the animals feed on him. Then film it and show it in business ethics class around the country. That might be a little more affective than what we have now. This guy is scum and should be treated as such.

I’m looking forward to some first-rate stenography from our local fish wraps. Not that it would make up for being scooped on a story in their backyard, but it’s a start.
