Madoff should spend the rest of his life behind bars without the possibility of parole! Lets make an example of these a holes!

“I’m inclined to consider him a bit of a villainous hero. He singlehandedly did more harm to the far left’s funding apparatus than anyone in history.”

How so? He funded local Rat politicians who will get the money from others.
He ain’t Soros and he isn’t funneling international money to a campaign like Obama did by stripping out the credit card protections on collections.

But it’s already out. It may not be trumpeted by the media but most people who read know who Burny was funding.

The question is will the Rats ever return the money? Of course the media has no incentive to even ask that question.

50 Billion dollars stolen from people who invested their life savings and trusted this @sshat - Life in Prison would be the only “deal” he deserves (since they don’t employ the death penalty for this type of crime - sadly enough).

He should be named head of the SEC and the Fed.

He sure knows his way around.

I realize that was said in jest, but, ah, no. I want to see these people pay and pay dearly. Not given a slap on the wrist and let go.

I want to bring back debt servitude and pass this on to his progeny for four generations.

The plan was for Bernie to take the fall by making it look like his son’s just happened to stumble upon his EVIL plan as to not implicate him.

From what I have read, his sons turned him in as soon as they found out it was all a fraud.

>>There had better be jail time - and lots of it..<<

These are federal charges, right? I can’t imagine the administration letting Madoff off without jail.

Plea Deal=Payoff, plain and simple. Dems will do anything to line their pockets. You watch, he’ll walk.

you are right..that’s the story. But I believe it was concocted to be just that to spare the family and only point the finger at father. Look, EVERYONE ELSE on Wall St knew that something wasn’t kosher with Bernie. You really think his wife and kids were clueless?

Might given a pardon if Madoff claims Bush told him to do it.

Madoff’s Sons aren’t Stupid! Can anyone really believe they didn’t know their “FATHER” was scamming Thousands of People for Billions of Dollars!! Any noisey Secretary woulda figured it out in 20 seconds, let alone Senior Financial Officers in the Parent Company. The Crook never bought a single share of stock for these Billions in Investments! Maybe its NO ACCIDENT Madoff waited until He knew Obama and his Administration were in charge to divulge this Atrocity? Madoff may be Knighted afterall!

I mentioned what I had read. Didn’t say I believed it. I suspect this plea deal will result in his sons not being subject to prosecution and his wife being able to keep some of the assets. If his wife is not to be taken care of financially, there is no motive for Madoff to plead guilty.

This is the justice we can expect from the Obama administration. Madoff knows too much and he’s too high profile to kill so they’ll buy him off with leniency and sugar.
