Aquaspan,
i think jojo' right it will be business as usual. This case has been so long getting to trial and then Hu has pleaded guilty to the bribery charges and there has been much made of Rio's chief executive being wined and dinned by party officials the day the trial opened.
I think the market anticipated the outcome long ago. If he's lucky he'll get out a bit earlier and maybe Rio will 'look' after him.
