Madoff gets the max

By Walker Duncan Posted on June 29, 2009 at 11:17 am

Convicted Ponzi scheme operator Bernie Madoff was sentenced today in New York to the maximum 150 years in prison for operating his $50+ billion fraud according to various news outlets.

Although reports have said that Madoff’s attorneys were recommending a 12-year sentence, the judge was clearly more swayed by nine victims who told the court of how their lives had been affected by the the scam. One woman from Stamford, Conn. has been forced to rely on food stamps and gathering bottles to recycle.

    Now he needs to be sent to the worst prison in the system, not some “country club” prison.

    Better yet, he and his family should be put in stocks in Times Square for a week, along with a big basket of rotten tomatoes.

    That’s the max ?

    This guy ruined countless lives.

    This sentence is a joke.

    The SEC should be sent to jail to finish out
    his sentence when he dies. Now that would be
    closer to justice.

    What a sad joke this is.

    Force him to tell where the money is and
    give it to the ones he ripped off.

    Force him in any manner needed to get results.
