A fitting punishment might be to place he and his wife in the nice cosey two-man cell listed in the other article. Then, give them access to items that can be used to make a shank. Install a video camera and make it a new reallity show or pay per view program; better yet, allow bets to be placed on the Vegas Sports Book. I think a significant amount of money lost could be recovered by doing this. I bet she would kill him inside of a week. A higher payoff can doled out to the person closest to the actual time of death. Just a thought.....

This is clascic example of greed and those investor who got scam did'nt go in with their eyes close and some of them probably made a lot of undeclared income .The scam paid the initial investor from what the later investor invest.This started over ten years ago,if whoever put money for that long and just complain now maybe because their invesment did not mutiply ten times as promised,maybe it only tripple ,and those income is not being tax .
the bottom line is greed will eventually get you,the greedy investor maybe think of better way of samming the IRS,and it backfired.

I think this clown should be sentenced to a level 3 yard here in Chino California at CIM. He will give free fraud advice to the wonderful cons there just before they waste him. I hate to burst everyones bubble, but when I was working county jail, I had to take an inmate to Lompoc Federal Pen in Santa Barbara.

My partner ans I were in shock when I saw convicts, like this Madoff, out of the prison grounds with weed whackers and rakes without supervision of any kind (voluntary obviously-think f the damage to the manicured nails). The inmate I was transporting explained those were guys like Madoff and there are less supervised than he was (my inmate was EME in on a 23 year bank stretch).

He then pointed out there tennis courts in their yard (for Madoff type criminals) and their 9 hole golf coarse. My jaw hit the floor. He further explained the federal system considers these inmates a minimal threat ( and since they have political connections and civil rights) they get a easy piece of time. Only the mob gets to be where my inmate was at. Remember Charles Keating in the 1980's? Guess where he was housed during his stint? Federal Pens that have those ammenities just like this reserved for white collar criminals.

DIEGOZ, IF THE MERCHANT OF VENICE is in fact anti-Semetic, you'll never hear from it from academia because the bard is pretty much a Sacred Cow.

Nice to know the SEC, the watchdog for this stuff, was fully asleep and otherwise completely oblivious to a scam that should have been low lying fruit. But, wait, they missed Enron, too....

Yes, most people effected by the Madoff scandal were of the Jewish faith. But when you say that the "Jewish" editors have an agenda then we have a problem and that is why the comment was removed.

Ok....so now Judaism isn't a religion. I didn't say anything in any of my
postings about hating Jewish people!! I just made an observation about the
majority of the people involved! I'm quite successful on my own, without
"their methods", whatever that means. I'm not sure how you interpreted my
attitude as angry and jealous, either. Wow, all of this from making an
observation of the facts.

Aw come on sizzlechest. You really think I am that stupid? The Merchant of Venice is an anti-semetic play and you darn well know it or else you wouldn't have made the comparison.
So why did you compare Madoff to Shylock? Only an anti-semite would have thought of something so terrible.

This guy will be dead before sentencing in June, or shortly thereafter.

ASK THE MEXICAN and BURNONIT, yes, our TEMPORARY friend gets his info from FAUX New. Isn't it interesting that they recently apologized for having a self-avowed anti-Semite as a guest giving a "responsible" POV? I wonder when CNN is going to apologize for having a Nativist hosting one of their programs.

Oh, GOD Diegoz! Don't get all in a dither and defensive with AsktheMex! The guy is certifiable and one of the biggest bigots here.

Just ignore him. Other Comments have some merit; his do not.

I think your being unfairly harsh crunchhardtac. Naive would be a better description for these investors. Yes it was not wise to put all their eggs in one basket, but there is a big difference between them and Mr. Madoff. Mr. Madoff set out to make money and lots of it by ripping other people off. These investors simply wanted to make money. Nothing wrong with that. The ones who who have been hurt the most are possibly facing a life out in streets so I DO feel very sorry for them despite their bad decision to put all their money on one pile.

did anyone notice that he showed up in a Kia? I bet this guy had already long ago hidden his assets and shifted them so that his family is taken care of.

On the other hand, you know, things may not always be as they seem. He may have known all along going in that he was going to take down some pretty bad folks - such as if the Mafia boss rumor is true. He may not be such a bad guy here - one's got to question why he turned himself in so easily.

Now the Stanford guy - that's a different story.

You obviously know nothing about Jews, except that you hate them. Being Jewish is no more an indicator of subscribing to a religion than being caucasian means you are a skinhead. Most Jews are non-religious and a majority of the Jews in Israel and America are atheist. Being a Jew is primarily a cultural thing, not necessarily a religious thing. That they are financially successful obvously has you angry and jealous.

Maybe if you adopted some of their methods, you could enjoy some of their financial success.

And for the record, I'm not Jewish. I'm Christian and not ashamed of it.

Hey askamexican, I'm just about done with you to get back to work earning my well-above average salary. Fox News is one of the many sources I get my news every day. They happen to be the ones that posted the prosecution's pdf file of the investors/victims. Am I a racist for reading that document and making an observation about he the names on the list? Whatever. You just go on spouting you racist hate toward white people and I and others like me will tolerate your extreme ideologic and religious views. You should be happy to be in a country where you are free to express your opinion no matter how fanatic or unreasonable. By the way, I am exactly the demographic advertisers are trying to reach. White, affluent, under 50, and proud of it.

I think it's pretty clear what kind of person we are dealing with here. People that talk like this, and make light of ones religion or ethnicity generally are not doing well in life. They are an angry lot and they tend to place the blame for their own sorry plight on others who are different from them. It's sad, but it's unfortunately the reality.

why should he even bother saying he is sorry. that is just one of many lies and is going to piss off people even more.

temporarycalifornian — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 13:32:53 -0000

Go to Fox News and read the article about Madoff. Halfway down is a link to
a pdf file of the investors/victims. The majority of the names are obviously
Jewish. The indications here are most of these people expected "special" or
"extraordiary" returns on these investments. My point was that this
pervasive stereotype is only reinforced by the fact that most of those
involved were Jewish. Personally, I bear no ill will to anyone and would
never begrudge anyone their foolish religious beliefs. I'll thank you to
cease your gratuitous violent threats against me. I'm just making an
observation. Peace to you.
