Business: Bernard Madoff is Sentenced to 150 Years

lol at the fat girl in the background

Hypocrites! The only reason he's been given such a long sentence is because he stole mainly from the rich; had he stolen from the poor, like many of these corporation over the years from time immemorial then it would have been a slap on the wrist.

this woman should be fired. She is boring as  hell===========

[Lolalai]

That's what you call SERIOUS journalism!

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zz

[ceb2008love]

You must be kidding me. Serious Journalism? The NY times ? Check all the made up stories that they have wrote and tell me if you can still say the NY Times is a relevant source for information:

[Lolalai]

Well, welcome to the real world... Give me any other source of information that is completely unbiased. Yes, exactly! In a perfect world that would be the ideal to strive for but in the real world it doesn't happen. For one thing we are human and for the other, the media in general is there to defend the powerful and their interests that's why you cannot expect the public service they purport to provide.

[Lolalai]

In any case ceb2008love my comment was supposed to be a joke.

[ceb2008love]

ok Lolalai. I get it!!:)

Peace

150 years? U mean the state still has to waste funds to set aside a cell for his decaying bones? Wat a dumb verdict. Might as well set a federal ruling to get him n his descendants to pay off all the debts to all affected victims.. thats may be a logistic nightmare but it will be a fairer judgement

[GenXer68]

That piece of shit should have got the death penalty because he helped trigger a world wide recession. Fuck that god damned greedy ass jew. May he rot in hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lolalai]

Something against jews GenXer68? He didn't trigger anything, it was the financial system at large. Madoff is just a scapegoat whilst the rest are still doing what they were doing from the start and getting their fat bonuses.

This should be a case for REGULATION!!! Corporations and the financial system should be regulated by the government. If we carry on with this system there are going to be many more crises.....

[Lolalai]

Now silly boy, could you please stop sending me anti-semitic messages to my personal inbox.

I stand by what I said, Madoff is just a pawn in a system fraught with unethical practices and the sooner you -and people like you- see that, the better. People should complain now, not later, when the next crisis hits home again. I promise you, next time we wouldn't be that lucky.

Anybody see that episode of The Closer where a Madoff-type character was facing trial for swindling people from their money? Very interesting since Kyra and Kevin were real victims. Only on the show old boy never made it to trial.
