John and Timothy Rigas, the father and son who used Adelphia funds for such opulent treasures as 100 pairs of bedroom slippers and two $3000 Christmas trees were ordered to prison after a four-year appeal process. Adelphia Communications collapsed in 2002 when the firm disclosed $2.3bn in off-balance-sheet debt.
Both Rigases must report to the slammer on August 13, Timothy for twenty years and John, who is 82, for fifteen.
