WorldCom CEO Bernie Ebbers linked to over $4M in farm subsidies

Former WorldCom CEO Bernie Ebbers, under increasing fire for the $408 million in personal loans he got from the company, also harvested millions in farm subsidies from U.S. taxpayers.
Three farms owned in part by Ebbers or linked to him got more than $4 million in U.S. Department of Agriculture aid from at least 1998 through 2001, say USDA records obtained by the Environmental Working Group (EWG).
