John Rigas
Age: 84
Company: Adelphia Communications
Crime: Securities fraud
Sentence: 13 years
Release date: Sept. 2018
Jail: Butner (N.C.) Federal Correctional Institution

Rigas's health is failing, and a sentencing judge ruled that he could be released if a prison doctor determines that he has less than three months to live. In 2007 an appeals court reversed one count of bank fraud levied against Rigas, and his sentence was reduced by two years.
