    Sheldon Silver found guilty on all counts in corruption trial

    Sheldon Silver found guilty on all counts in corruption trial

    Former state Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver was convicted ​on ​all ​seven criminal ​counts Monday in a corruption scheme that traded taxpayer cash and political favors for nearly $4 million in payoffs.

    A Manhattan federal jury deliberated fewer than three days before finding the veteran lawmaker guilty of seven charges of honest-services fraud, extortion and money laundering.
    Silver, 71, faces a maximum 1​​30 years in ​prison for the long-running scam.

    Public hanging should be in order.

    Why Silver’s guilty verdict should make Cuomo very worried
    So in the end, the longest-tenured of Albany’s three men in a room turned out to be just another thief.

    Not a petty thief, not by any means; Sheldon Silver of the Lower East Side had stuffed his jeans with at least $4 million — and that makes him distinctive by Albany standards: The capital city’s gutter-grubbers traditionally settle for chump change.

    I didn't know he was in office for so many years.
