if any of you ppl think that this man will ever serve prison time think again. hes been on HOUSE arrest since december. If he was any normal joe shmuch he would already be in prison. considering he was on the SEC board its no wonder they turned a blind eye. this man should be in jail, not sitting in some million dollar penthouse while some of the ppl he robbed are homeless and hungry.. FRY HIS SORRY ASS

Well, we can see that the swindles will continue and the swindlers will be rewarded, people who invest money with such crooks will continue to do so, and now the taxpayers will pick up the tab.

Bernard Madoff mad sure that he had rigt people at every door to the SEC TO GUARD AGAINST PRYING EYES all the while the fleecing of America was going on. Madoff is a gangster at the lewel of BUGZY ,MONIA ELSON, MICHAEL MILKEN OR IVAN BOKEY.The difference between them and Gotti is that they are much smarter . No one there acuse him of being a crook wihout loosing high paying Wall st. job

YOU WATCH THE AMERICAN TAXPAYER WILL END UP BAILING THESE GREEDY PEOPLE OUT.

I hope Madoff trashed all of the money that he got from CEOs who stole from there companys while laying off thousands of people !!!

CEOS SHOULD ONLY BE ABLE TO GET BONUSS FROM COMPANY PROFIT!LAYING PEOPLE OFF , REPORTING HUGH LOSSES AND THEN TAKING AUNBELIEVEABLE BONUS IS STEALING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Madoff case is a claasic example where the punishment does not reflect the crime. As I understand it the maximum time Madoff can spend behind bars for his crime is 10 years and a $ 5,000,000 fine. Now 10 years is a very long time for a man who is 70. A younger man say in his 40's may see the rewards of the ponzi over the possible conviction a resonable risk. Also considering with good behavior Madoff may only spend a couple of years behind bars. The book shold be through at him, each individual loss a case, with the sentence back to back. That would be fair.

It boggles the mind that Madoff's "Ponzi scheme" was discovered a decade before anyone finally paid attention to the discoverer's cry of alarm. The pain and suffering to Madoff's victims is too immense to render a satisfactory punishment on Madoff or his cohorts on this earth. One can only hope that they justice will be served when they stand before the Judgement Seat.

It boggles the mind that Madoff's "Ponzi scheme" was discovered a decade before someone finally paid attention to the discoverer's cry of alarm. The pain and suffering of Madoff's victims will be too immense to bring sufficient punishment upon Madoff or those who may be guilty of aiding and abetting his lengthy crime spree. One hopes justice will be served when Madoff and his cohorts stand before the Judgement Seat.
