In a 4-0 decision, the state Supreme Court's Appellate Division said there was sufficient evidence to support the 2005 convictions of ex-CEO Kozlowski and former finance chief Swartz.
Kozlowski, 60, and Swartz, 47, were each sentenced to 8-1/3 to 25 years in prison after being convicted of conspiracy, grand larceny, securities fraud and falsifying business records. Prosecutors say the two amassed 170 million in unauthorized pay and 430 million through stock manipulation.
The men used the money to finance lavish lifestyles that, in Kozlowski's case, included a 6,000 gold-threaded shower curtain and a 15,000 umbrella stand shaped like a small terrier, said prosecutors.
