 NEW YORK (AP) - Their appeals all but exhausted, Adelphia Communications founder John Rigas and his son, Timothy, will head to prison on Aug. 13 for their role in one of the largest corporate frauds in U.S. history.
U.S. District Judge Leonard Sand gave the men, once among the country's richest, a little less than seven weeks to put their affairs in order. He rescinded an order that had allowed them to remain free on bail for three years while their appeal worked its way through the courts.
"Too much time has elapsed," he said at a hearing Wednesday.
