Keating is the name that is known, but I do believe it was hundreds of people. Like, hundreds of people did (some) jail time. But as Martin Shkreli would say, "I just want to let you know, jail is not that bad. So don't fret – I hope it doesn't happen. If it does happen...it's not that bad."

The name I remember was Neil Bush, who escaped any real consequences, and it was just a coincidence that his dad was George W. Bush, Vice President, and later the President of the United States.

I remember John McCain being involved as well as one of the Keating 5. Part of the reason I never voted for him.
