    How a Broward crook who stole $100 million got a Murder One charge cut to a misdemeanor

    Q Link Wireless CEO Issa Asad and his company pleaded guilty on Oct.15 in Miami federal court to bilking more than $100 million from a government program that provides free or discounted phone service to people in need. The sentence prosecutors are recommending: five years, which is equal to one year for every $20 million he stole. Ten years earlier, while the feds say Asad was in the middle of committing his enormous fraud, he got an even better deal in Broward Circuit Court.
