WASHINGTON — Adelphia Communications founder John Rigas and his son, Timothy, lost their final appeal Monday of their convictions for fraud that led to the collapse of the nation’s fifth-largest cable-television company.
The Supreme Court rejected the appeal without comment. The elder Rigas, 83, is serving a 15-year prison term, while his son, the former chief financial officer, was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
