Comments on: Madoff Attorney: My Client Feels Remorse

Ira Lee Sorkin Calls 150-Year Prison Term A "Death Sentence"

[SugrDaddy]

Hey, I think Bernie got a raw deal. People threw billions of dollars at him and got a poor return on their investment, that's capitalism.

That poor little rich guy.

Let's all feel sorry for "Uncle Bernie" Madoff!!!!

Instead of his ultra-rich life style he will spend the rest of his life in a jailhouse "suite" at a "country club" prison where he will have plenty of time to write his book on the art of cheating people, and get to garden and play tennis every day with fellow financial cheaters Bernie Ebbers (Worldcom) and Jeffrey Skilling (Enron).

And ALL at TAXPAYER EXPENSE!!!

Poor "Uncle Bernie"!!!

HAIL OBAMA????

The only thing this guy feels remorse about is that he got caught and now is going to prison. Yes and while his family members and friends are all set and live the good life with the assets that he transferred to their personal accounts. They will do this while all the people he stole from suffer with little or no money. Oh I'm sure he feels a lot of remorse. I know he's going to feel it when he dies and faces the music when he's having to give account for his actions.

Is this what that crazy columnist meant yesterday by Madoff's sentence being unfair? Because he feels remorse? How much more remorse can he than that remorse of his victims? Pooh. I don't care a dang about poor old Madoff and his feelings. I bet his biggest remorse if for being caught, anyway.

Wow ,30 years of theft & now "remorse",wonder why now ?

[gramto8]

But... but.... but... don't you just feel so sorry for the poor, poor guy? He didn't mean to hurt all those folks! He didn't mean that they wouldn't have the money they were promised, when he knew d.urned well that it was going into all those fancy houses and boats. 150 years sounds about right to me!

Sorkin is a bald-faced liar.

Someone who feels remorse doesn't spend months hiding stolen assets and transferring stolen funds to his family members.

[ispeakthetruth]

Is he really going to prison or is he going to "Prison" for the rich and famous? I think they should just let him out on the street and let Justice really be served.........9mm's at a time.

"A penalty that Sorkin said was a "death sentence" for his 71-year-old client"....and I wonder how many people will die a slow agonizing death because their life savings is gone and they will be homeless, starving, or can't afford medical treatment????
