I can’t shake the feeling that there’s a Clinton in the woodpile with this guy.
Any thoughts?
SWAG here, but I’m thinkin’ the old man found out he is terminally ill and figured having his sons turn him in and then talking to the Feds so that wife and kids get their’s was the best option. It would help explain plea deal as well as how he’s been treated so far.
Ira Sorkin, Madoff’s attorney, was head of the SEC NY office during Millken and Boesky.
“but I never understood the imprisonment of Martha Stuart”
Me neither. She did nothing. She was as guilty as Scooter Libby.
I told people when this happened that he’s too big, and is too involved with too many big people for anything to happen to him.
He may serve some jail time, but it will be a resort type facility. I may be wrong.
MONEY TALKS WONDER WHO HE’S PAYING OFF...
Lectric chair instead of waterboarding maybe
Where is Jack Bauer when we really need him. He would get names, numbers and dates without need of some kind of ‘Deal’.
What, he pleads with us as we push him off the roof of that 20M ‘condo’ he’s got ?
In the good old days they had the decency to jump themselves.
Ah where’s a screenshot from Office Space when you need one.
Sadly, it appears that Madoff had enough dirt on those in high places to guarantee his “get of jail free” card.
I weep for our country. If this POS is able to negotiate a deal, then our own justice system is no better than the barbaric 12th century scum in Saudi Arabia.
Any “deal” should include a full allocation in open court, get Madoff 100% on the record as to what he did and who knew it.
Bernie Madoff will get away with it....he knows the “Judge”!
Considering that most of the nonprofits he swindled were of the Bleeding Heart and Social Engineering schools he may have done us a big favor. If that’s not a case for extenuating circumstances...
Yeah, Brylcream, a little dab’l do ya!
He lonly likes crooks who don’t pay taxes...
Maybe he’ll get the sentence Mr. Lay did...
Madeoff may yet make off with the loot.
Why - consider that those in government knew about him for over a decade and did nothing.
Take him to couirt and he sings - many goobers in the gooberment agencies go down.
What’s allowing a 50 billion dollar ripoff compared to those goobers going to jail? Ask any gooberment goober if you doubt this.
