Those aren’t financial crimes, those are criminal negligence.
And the family of the deceased will be charged for the cost of the bullet. [/kidding]
Not going to happen. The biggest economic crime in all of human history is about to pass in the Senate. At a value of $200k per life, it would only take $107M to justify 535 death penalties. The pork bill is more than 8,000 times that large, so I don’t see our government approving this punishment for their crimes.
No but they should be punished every bit as much as common street crimes. If a kid steals some TVs he probably gets more punishment than some dirtbag in a suit who steals millions. That ain’t right. Lock up for a long time and deny them bail before trial. Don’t let ‘em laugh it up in a fancy penthouse like Madoff.
"The chairman of a trading company in northeast China has been sentenced to death after he was found guilty of raising 3 billion yuan (380 million U.S. dollars) from gullible investors for a bogus ant-breeding project between 2002 and 2005.
Wang Zhendong, board chairman of Yingkou Donghua Trading (Group) Co., Ltd. in Liaoning Province promised returns of 35 to 60 percent for the fictitious project under the name of Donghua Zoology Culturing Co., Ltd and Donghua Spirit Co., Ltd."
It is unfortunate that the mainstream press version of the story only reports the absurd side, content to focus on the bogus ant-breeding project.
The mindless repetition of old wives’ tales needs to stop.
About 20 people died in Pinto fires. Out of something like 2+ million cars produced.
Not exactly an epidemic, especially when compared to other cars of its time.
So Obama and our Congress are all Mass Murders on the scale of Pol Pot by comparison to Madoff’s paltry $50B/25000? How many death’s for Trillions of dollars wasted?
Yeah, it's unthinkable - and I can't stand the creep Madoff. I don't want to live in a world where people are put to death for financial crimes.
