Former Ald. Patrick Daley Thompson, a member of Chicago’s most famous political family, has begun serving a four-month prison sentence for lying to banking regulators and filing false income tax returns in a case involving the failed Washington Federal Bank for Savings in Bridgeport.
The Bridgeport Democrat, who represented the 11th ward in the City Council, had been ordered by U.S. District Judge Franklin Valderrama to report to the federal Bureau of Prisons by this past Monday when he was sentenced in July.
