I shall wait until they make a film about it. Then I might understand what he did. 
Bernard Madoff Page 2
Wouldn't surprise me if he suddenly died before entering prison rather like Ken Lay (Enron).

So it's acceptable to kill people. You just get a slap on the wrist.
Quote: Chappers @ June 30 2009, 12:13 PM BSTBut someone who cons people gets 150 years - and someone who kills someone gets 7. Where is the logic?
Don't know about the tarriff for murder, depends on the who, why and how, I guess.
But Madoff has been the cause of more human misery, and probably more premature deaths, than most murderers, so the sentence seems fair.
Lets not forget someone shot himself in the head because of what Madoff did. The man had lost everything so just ended his life in a Southampton park.

He must've had it bad. A Southampton park! Poor bloke. I take it all back.

Sorry you need to be specific over who got 7 years.
If that's manslaughter then it ain't murder.
Maidoff has caused huge suffering ruined chairities, blighted lives and stolen huge sums.

And he'll probably only serve half of that and then walk away.
