So much for him running Social Security...
Honestly, he deserves more. He ruined so many lives by basically robbing these people that trusted him.
I woulda stripped him of every single dime he had, any asset, EVERYTHING and locked him up in a room with everyone he wronged. Let them determine his punishment from that point on.

The street would have been a more just punishment. Let him eek out a living as a homeless person.
I'm seeing all the crying people who lost money to this complete scunge of a human being.......and I'm thinking to myself: If this money was everything and it meant so very much to you, what the heck WERE YOU THINKING!!!!

Yeah, one really must be merely reasonably greedy with extreme caution.
A lot of "smart people" lost money to this swindler. Even the SEC never caught up to the guy until it was too late.
As for the max 150 year sentence, didn't really matter if it was only 50 years, he was going to die in jail anyway.
He was proof though, that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

I have some sympathy for these people - and I certainly have real sympathy for the grannies who were three levels separated - but even then, you trust this schmuck of a money adviser who sticks your cash in Madeoff and Madeoff?
Well - listening to the tales of woe no one, to a soul, seems to know were their money was going.....hmm.....yes they went for the greed.

Give him 2 years-dead of "natural" causes, or somebody knocks him off in the joint-you can't ripoff that many rich people & not have a hit put out on you!

That's how I feel. Many of my customers lost a lot of money with him, and my business is feeling it. Amazing how [censored] rolls down hill like that. I hope he does the full sentence without any chances of getting out on good behavior or an appeal. Then he can rot in [censored] for eternity.

He'll get golf course duty at some minimum security federal country club. He won't suffer the fate of a two bit thief.

Has anyone been fired at the SEC?
The SEC is basically a stepping stone to bigger banking jobs so they do not like to step on any future employers toes. Bernie would have been busted though if he screwed anyone bigger than he was.

I imagine he won't last long in prison. He will have a hit on him or he would be lucky enough to be placed in a prison. Where he ripped off the Warden's entire portfolio. Wouldn't someone in prison stab this guy with a homemade knive? ala Jeffrey Dahmer.

Here is a list of Madoff's vitims. There are some very prominent investment groups and individuals on that list.
Looks like there is another big Ponzi Scheme under investigation for investors with Alan Stanford.
Ponzi Schemes or triangle schemes have been around a long time. I remember the first money chain letter I ever saw. Good deal if you get in on the bottom, not so good at the top.
Who knows, maybe thats how Bernie and Alan got their start.

Well, I would think he'd be a hero.

I think Gary Allan is correct on this one.
