Does Anyone Else Find This Comical?

From ESPN: The Danbury Trashers, whose owner was charged in a federal Mafia indictment, will not compete in the United Hockey League next season.

Team owner James Galante was arrested Friday on charges of racketeering, extortion, witness tampering and circumventing the league's salary cap. Prosecutors say he overpaid players and their wives with money from his mob-connected garbage companies.

Racketeering, extortion, witness tampering......and circumventing the league's salary cap????? What is the penalty for spending too much? Attending classes on how to run an organization taught by Isiah Thomas? Could he have been arrested if he did not extort or tamper?
