Sun Microsystems Chief Executive Scott McNealy says the government should send corporate crooks to jail -- "and not one of these country clubs with barbed wire on them."
"I think that white-collar crime is way more despicable than someone who steals a loaf of bread because they're hungry," said McNealy in an interview Thursday with Mercury News reporters and editors. "I'm from Detroit. Throw them in the drunk tank in downtown Detroit and have them make a few new friends."

McNealy said he just received a letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission asking him to sign a notarized statement swearing that his company's financial statements are "complete and accurate."
"I'll stand up for mine if they stand up for theirs," McNealy said, noting that President Bush, SEC Chairman Harvey Pitt, Attorney General John Ashcroft and Congress should be held accountable for the U.S. budget.
