    One of the "Crooks" that bankrupted the Sabres is getting out of prison

    NEW YORK (AP) - A federal judge in New York has agreed to release from prison the dying 91-year-old founder of one of the nation's largest cable television companies and former owner of the Buffalo Sabres.

    Judge Kimba Wood signed an order Friday saying Adelphia Communications Corp. founder John Rigas can be released early.

    Rigas is serving a 12-year sentence in a $1.9 billion looting and debt-hiding scandal that led to the collapse of Adelphia.

    He was scheduled to be released from prison in January 2018.

    Prosecutors says Rigas suffers from bladder cancer that has advanced to his lungs, making it unlikely he'll live more than six months.

    Why is crooks in scare quotes? What you're saying is that Rigas isn't really a crook, when he clearly is.
