So Bernard Madoff is charged with $50 billion in fraud. What's next? House arrest, of course!

Greg was on "Issues" with Jane Velez-Mitchell to discuss the double standard applied to white-collar criminals.

  • I can't believe the nwo let them both give a major solution on air-

    LEGALIZE ALL DRUGS-

    90% U.S. prisoners drug related

    U.S. has more prisoners by far than any other country by capita

    Trillion dollar industry run by the wall street banksters

  • One of the US government's primary functions is to take US citizens' money and give it (very few strings attached) to people like Madoff so that they can devise ever better and more devious methods to further enrich themselves at the public's expense. There are lots of Madoffs out there, but their behavior (especially at this scale) is only possible because of the way the government, the economic system, and corporations are structured.

    I doubt it.

    It looks like YouTube is nobbling the viewing figures.

    I wonder why they would do you that...

  • Suicide? Sound fishy? Too many people exposed if Madoff had gone to trial? Questions remain.

  • we are locking up petty criminals who have no money while letting billionaire criminals get of scott free- it doesn't make sense, i must have missed the memo

  • he will never be arrested because cops are cowards and soldiers are robots

  • Apparently he still has enough money to pay off the court!

  • This guy had to have help by bigger fish, otherwise it wouldn't have worked for so long. He has the goods on others so they are gonna let him off easy. The rest of us go to jail, he is to rich to fail!!

    Martha Stewart did much less and she was treated badly solely because she was a woman and women are not supposed to break into the elite classes.

  • @ ~5 min mark

    Who's the damn racist?

    I think the witch doing the reporting is a racist. Casually making the assumption that the perpetrators of most "petty crime" are of an ethnic background other than that of Madoff.

    I like Palast, but this was an example of how not to do journalism.

    aka

    Who

    What

    When

    Where

    There are no other questions, all this hyperbole and hype is such a waste of time.

  • House arrest only???

    No justice.

    The investigation will be shallow.

    He's a patsy for a larger crime syndicate.

  • "Unprecedented ponzi scheme". What about social security?
