Embezzler Free on Bail Posted by His Wife and...Mistress

The Wall Street Journal Law blog had an amusing post today about Yoshio Yamaki, a Japanese businessman who has been charged with embezzling more than $7 million from camera company Sigma USA.  Yamaki walked out of the federal courthouse in Brooklyn after two women - who identified themselves to the judge as Yamaki's wife and mistress, respectively - posted a $350,000 bond.  The judge's reaction: "Mr. Yamaki, I just want to say you’re an incredibly lucky man."
