- casek, on 06/29/2009, -2/+398Go after the rest of the conspirators, now. He didn't do this alone.
- inactive, on 06/29/2009, -4/+368That's, what...three years per billion dollars he stole?
- patrickloggins, on 06/29/2009, -0/+299Jeez, when you look at it that way it seems like a light sentence.
- JackG1980, on 06/29/2009, -6/+208They let his wife keep 3.5 millions. Can you believe she actually wanted to kept everything. She is just as worse of even more evil then Madoff. She is probably one of those women who would push their husbands to do whatever it takes to get them their luxory life they crave.
- getoffmybridge, on 06/29/2009, -4/+191Peter Gibbons: The most they would do is put us for a few months into a white-collar, minimum-security resort. You know, they have conjugal visits there?
Samir: They do?
Michael Bolton: *****. I'm a free man and I haven't had a conjugal visit in six months. - Networktwenty3, on 06/29/2009, -3/+163I'm bothered that they let the wife keep over 2 mill of stolen money.
- reddyap1, on 06/29/2009, -0/+96I wish he could actually rot for the 150 years in prison
- spinxfd, on 06/29/2009, -1/+89Good riddance.
- LiquidIse, on 06/29/2009, -2/+89THE NEED TO DO WAY INSTAIN MOTHER
- KenSPT, on 06/29/2009, -2/+81Why couldn't he die instead of Billy Mays?
- LoveYouSomeEric, on 06/29/2009, -4/+79There is no way that the wife and sons (who worked for dad) didn't know what was going on. Hopefully we'll see some more charges in the months ahead.
- Cannonballkid, on 06/29/2009, -1/+66What about his conspirators? Everyone knows he didn't do all this on his own...
- inactive, on 06/29/2009, -23/+85I'll say it again:
Personally, I don't give a ***** if spends 300 years in prison. Look, this guy is 71 years old. Hes probably spent all his life living to a degree none of us people can understand. They caught him at the tail end of his dirt, there is far more time behind him than ahead. No amount of time will punish him because he's lived it up for the majority of his life. The average life expectancy of an American is 78 years old, so he probably only has like six years left. He gets the last laugh no matter how many years they throw at him.
I think most people would take 6 years in jail to have 500,000,000 for most of your life. In fact, it's a good trade.
If you want to punish him, waterboard him. - chuckDontSurf, on 06/29/2009, -1/+62Michael Bolton: We get caught laundering money, we're not going to white-collar resort prison. No, no, no. We're going to federal 'pound-me-in-the-ass' prison!
- trer, on 06/29/2009, -3/+57Rob Newhouse: Conjugal visits? Mmmm. Not that I know of. Y'know, minimum-security prison is no picnic. I have a client in there right now. He says the trick is: kick someone's ass the first day, or become someone's bitch. Then everything will be all right. W-Why do you ask, anyway?
- LoveYouSomeEric, on 06/29/2009, -0/+53I'd MUCH rather see this man, accustomed to a life of absolute privilege and unimaginable wealth, be forced to live out the rest of his days in a tiny cell in a federal prison. He will die alone and with nothing. There is no worse penalty for him than what he got.
- cryinlion85, on 06/29/2009, -1/+52a message that you'll live successfully and be wealthy beyond your dreams until you're too old to care anymore.
- DirtyVicar, on 06/29/2009, -3/+50Too bad he picked on wealthy people. If he bilked thousands of working-class Americans he'd be out in 10 years, tops.
- nickycakes, on 06/29/2009, -4/+48Can I have your stuff?
- Rahaz, on 06/29/2009, -2/+43Considering he's 71 this is barely a punishment. The guy will probably die in less than 5 years.
- Y0tsuya, on 06/29/2009, -1/+42It's largely symbolic. Everybody knows he'll die in prison. It sends a message to younger folks who might try to pull the same scheme.
- feelmypimphand, on 06/29/2009, -1/+42I sentence you to 150 years in a federal pound you in the ass prison.
Mr. Madoff - you are a very very bad person. - SaladCactusKing, on 06/29/2009, -6/+47Hey commie, he didn't just steal from rich people. He defrauded charities, foundations, synagogues, and middle class folkwho worked with and for the rich people who got duped.
- maz2331, on 06/29/2009, -2/+36The problem is that the regulators aren't doing their jobs under existing law. Madoff was reported multiple times to the SEC, and they just ignored the complaints.
- falstaff, on 06/29/2009, -2/+35Madoff gets 150 years in prison, Congress gets to vote themselves a raise.
- TheBifman, on 06/29/2009, -5/+34The only thing worse than Madoff here is your grammar
- chesscat, on 06/29/2009, -1/+29I see Dustin Hoffman playing him in the film version somewhere down the line.
- whiledo, on 06/29/2009, -1/+27Or, to look at it another way, one lifetime per all of it.
- drmangrum, on 06/29/2009, -0/+25Because the law may not allow for a life sentence. Life sentences are usually reserved for capital crimes.
- ezcheezbandit, on 06/29/2009, -0/+24Is a "luxory life" like a life filled with different colored rolling balls, pyramids and scarabs?
- itsbob, on 06/29/2009, -0/+23Cool, he will be out in time for his 221st Birthday
If he is doesn't go and shiv someone - drmangrum, on 06/29/2009, -0/+23Sentences like that are usually done to avoid parole.
- D3L3T3D, on 06/29/2009, -0/+22***** that, way too easy. Make him wash other prisoners' underwear for $0.14 an hour so he can buy a pair of defective/abnormal/otherwise unsellable shoes after a few weeks. Guy deserves to finish his days out working for a ***** wage with no end result so he can experience what people go through when all of their money get stolen.
- Foot56, on 06/29/2009, -0/+21http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31510209/ns/business-s ...
- getoffmybridge, on 06/29/2009, -3/+24*fumbles with cup of ice*
- whiledo, on 06/29/2009, -0/+21So what do you suggest, invent life extending technology so we can force him to live another 150 years in jail?
- D3L3T3D, on 06/29/2009, -3/+23***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** *****
***** - butterpat, on 06/29/2009, -0/+20He's probably getting Dugg down because he's endorsing waterboarding. How can we make our leaders accountable for torture when we would apply it so casually?
Otherwise, satie has made some valid statements. - inactive, on 06/29/2009, -0/+20Too bad he didn't get caught until he was 71 years old. That 150 year sentence would have meant a lot more if he was about 30 years younger.
- Ainvar, on 06/29/2009, -1/+19150 years sentence to some who is already 71 years old. So he will spend his remaing year (15 years max) behind bars. While in those 15 years the majority of the people who ***** over will still be trying to survive and live or be homeless. Except for the idiot model woman they interviewed on CNN. She just needs to go hide somewhere.
- robbob, on 06/29/2009, -0/+18Great that he'll never again see the light of day.
His fortune should be split among his victims and his wife could have the rest (nothing)
As someone who has lost a huge chunk in my investments in this down economy, I feel so much sympathy for all his victims.
Saddening and maddening - ScrewedThePooch, on 06/29/2009, -3/+21unfortunately he'll only suffer for another ten years. Here's hoping he has gangrape Bubba as his cellmate.
- itsbob, on 06/29/2009, -0/+18So was Hitler
- inactive, on 06/29/2009, -5/+23That's RIDICULOUS!
HEe should have gotten life! - GREEDOnvrFIRED, on 06/29/2009, -3/+20He got what he had coming for sure. But those innocent people you speak of got what they had coming too. Did you know that lots of people turned down the chance to invest with him? Why? Because they knew the returns he promised had to be either unfair, untrue or illegal? Everyone who signed on was a victim of their own greed. "-sniff- We invested everything we had with him." Really? Everything? You are either sickeningly greedy or grossly incompetent.
- jaybird1905, on 06/29/2009, -4/+21Not sure why you're getting Dugg down. You've got a valid point.
- alpha19, on 06/29/2009, -4/+20It would be more satisfactory if his sentence was to be stoned to death by the people he stole from.
- Elranzer, on 06/29/2009, -0/+16Don't worry. She's likely the stupid kind of person who thinks that with a ton of money there won't be any problems. Consider the kind of spending she has in mind if she kept demanding that Bernie gets MORE Billions even after they had some. $3.5 million is nothing in the grand scheme.
She'll likely spend a lot of it on drugs, jewelry, etc. then she'll make the mistake of buying expensive property. Soon, she'll run out of liquid funds in a matter of years and be unable to pay the taxes on the property. Eventually all of her assets will be siezed by the government and she'll be broke and homeless.
Since no one would likely hire her for any job, she'll likely die broke and homeless, unless she somehow tricks a gullible ***** to marry her.
If you expect her to invest wisely and stretch her remaining millions to last the remainder of her life, that's very unlikely. - pwner, on 06/29/2009, -2/+18Only after American Idol is over.
