The billionaire creator of Beanie Babies wiped away tears when he pleaded guilty last year for evading taxes on $25 million in income. Today, H. Ty Warner, 69, will learn how much, if any, prison time he will do in the case. He could face up to five years in prison at today's sentencing in Chicago, according to published reports.

Warner, creator and chief executive of Ty Inc., is expected to apologize at length for hiding his millions in Swiss bank accounts.

So would you cut the plush toy-maker a break and hand him a softer sentence?



Or should the billionaire businessman face hard time behind bars for his scheme to avoid taxes on multiple millions in income?

Hand out your version of economic justice in the comments.
