Historical Follies: rewriting the laws of Broadway

“I’m going to rewrite the laws of Broadway.” --Garth Drabinsky, Canadian impresario, who fought extradition in Canada after his pump-and-dump stock scam through LivEnt. He was sentenced to seven years in prison in Canada (in 2009). In the end, Drabinsky's sentence was reduced to five years, of which he served 17 months in the Canadian penal system, being released in 2013.
