They deserve whatever punishment they are given. From personal experience I know that these people will take advantage of any one, in any way at any time. Because of the prestigious name and venues they have acquired, they bully people around and do not think twice about financially hurting the smaller business man (that was me) and the big name. Now everyone knows what they are up to.

Doing business with the Cipriani company will eventually leave someone hurting, and the someone isn't the Cipriani company. Will this bad press, heavy fines and possible jail time (as it was for Mr. Pappas) humble this family? Will me and others they have hurt be compensated, apologized to or be treated considerately? I don't think so. A scorpion is a scorpion and a Cipriani is a Cipriani.
