  "John Rigas, the former head of Adelphia Communications, and two of
his sons were freed on $10 million bail each Wednesday after being
arrested earlier in the day on charges they looted the cable company
of hundreds of millions of dollars to pay for luxury condos, a golf
course, and to cover personal investment losses."
