The scope of his theft and the filthy way he showed off the stolen wealth merit a stiff punishment. And he leveraged his standing as a Jewish man looking out for other Jewish investors. Most of his funds came from connections in Jewish communites. <br /><br />The guy had 3 boats, 3 or 4 houses, 35 expensive watches, etc. Disgusting. 150 years sounds good to me.TRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10392896869204565247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048775.post-84362632479320057002009-06-29T11:46:26.450-04:002009-06-29T11:46:26.450-04:00If Madoff made good music then the House of Repres...If Madoff made good music then the House of Representatives would have a moment of silence when he dies.zmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10435738243743797845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048775.post-87220030154569800542009-06-29T11:39:47.806-04:002009-06-29T11:39:47.806-04:00it's interesting how fired up people get about...it's interesting how fired up people get about madoff-- a con man-- almost like he's representative of this economic meltdown, when he was really just fleecing people, but the roots and causes are too complicated, so he becomes a fall guy; it's worth reading "house of cards" to see how the bear stearns bankruptcy went down.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10076160316071071272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6048775.post-36120137880042131872009-06-29T10:53:50.306-04:002009-06-29T10:53:50.306-04:00For the amount of damage done to other people he s...For the amount of damage done to other people he should get at least 25 years.
