Wolfson, 55, was the innocent victim of a U.S. Government vendetta. A New York federal jury disagreed, found the high-flying Wolfson guilty on each of the 19 counts against him. Last week that conviction brought Wolfson, chairman of the Merritt-Chapman & Scott construction complex and one of the U.S.'s most controversial corporate raiders, a one-year prison sentence and $100,000 fine. Federal Judge Edmund L. Palmieri also sentenced...
