You could be excused these days if it seems to take something of a scorecard to determine just how many NHL owners might be in trouble with the law. Now it's time for New York Islanders owner Charles Wang to reluctantly step into the spotlight.Though many have forgotten, Wang didn't buy the Islanders by himself in 2000. Rather, he did it with Sanjay Kumar, the protege that succeeded him as CEO of Computer Associates (CA) that same year. But the happy times didn't last.
In 2004, Kumar was forced to resign due to an accounting scandal, and just two years later agreed to plead guilty to a variety of charges including securities fraud and obstruction of justice. He was sentenced to 12 years in prison, and agreed to pay more than $225 million in restitution, selling his share in the Islanders and the AFL's New York Dragons to Wang.
