Who is Conrad Black and what did he do?
Black was the son of a self-made Canadian businessman. Black basically ripped off a little old lady of her controlling shares of Argus Corporation when her husband died. He made scads of money, bought newspapers, started treating them as his own personal bank account and was convicted of stealing money from shareholders. This all happened over 25 years. He wanted a British peerage. The Canadian Prime Minister said “we don’t allow that here”, so he gave up his citizenship for a British one. Now he wants to be a Canadian again. He can rot in hell. Good riddance.
