Lesson: If you're NY State Comptroller and the only one who oversees the $140+ billion state pension fund, don't accept money for directing funds to certain investment firms. Because you could end up like Alan Hevesi—71 years old with health problems and looking at one to four years in prison. City Room posted his mugshot and it's a far cry from his 2006 mugshot, where he admitted to misusing state staffers to chauffeur his sick wife around (he was a felon, but didn't get jail time).
Shortly after entering Ulster Correctional last week, Hevesi was admitted the prison infirmary. His lawyer called his one to four year sentence a possible "death sentence."
