British banker sentenced for Enron scheme
HOUSTON (AP) - February 22, 2008 David Birmingham was the first of three British bankers to be
sentenced Friday in Houston by U.S. District Judge Ewing Werlein
Jr. Two others - Giles Darby and Gary Mulgrew - were to be
sentenced later Friday.
The three men each had pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud
in November as part of a plea agreement.
Enron's demise wiped out thousands of jobs and more than $2
billion in pension plans.
