Ecclestone pays £60m to end bribery trial

Yep, you can buy your way out of jail time for bribery, and even end up with a non-verdict.

Oh, to be a billionaire.

Absolutely frikkin disgusting.

You gotta love them Germans. I was wondering why the trial was staged in Germany.

Another billionaire bonus - choosing the country of your trial to exploit loopholes?

Or it might be that he did the bribing in Germany, to a German. Just putting that out there.

A German banker, working for a German bank, yes. But I thought the deed was done at Bayern LB in Luxembourg, no?
