Bye, bye, Bernie!
Our broken, inefficient trial system will give this man ample time for appeals so I don't look for him to begin serving any time for several years. Ironic that he will use the funds from his numerous frauds to forestall imposition of justice.
Just look at the Enron outrage - it won't even come to trial until early 2006 and then, God wiling, after guilty verdicts are received, it will be so many more years until justice in the form of imposition of the sentences is actually obtained.
As far as any Civil findings, don't hold your breath on that one either - IMO it will be several more years before any money is taken out of this Blood Sucker's hands and very probably after many of those who were destroyed are long since past being able to use whatever recompense is adjudicated.
