Comments on: Madoff To Remain Free On Bail In Penthouse

NYC Judge Imposes More Restrictions On Disgraced Investor But Rejects Bid By Prosecutors To Send Him To Jail

[airboatboy1]

What a f##kin'' joke! Can you imagine all the deals he can be making sitting in his own penthouse? I hope he gets a bullet to the head on the way to court.

[bm6005]

Jewixh Judge?!!

[brannigon]

This crook is going to remain free on bail? This is an insult to justice! This is a crime of gigantic magnitude and he should go to jail without bond! If it were just another guy in the street, this is what would happen! Somebody got paid under the table! American justice is a joke and America has become a cess pool of crooks and punks that get away with murder! God help us all!!!

The real scandal will come when it is learned that Madoff not only scammed the investors, but also the investigators who think the money is lost. Just wait until a few days before trial when Madoff escapes to foreign shores with Saddam Hussein-style truckloads of "lost" cash that he''''s storing in a New Jersey warehouse.

Anyone that believes Bernie hasn''t stashed a great deal of $Cash$ and other valuable assets in Secret Offshore Accounts around the Globe can contact me to purchase cheap waterfront properties in Florida.....LOL

A poor black man risks getting tasered, beaten bloody, and thrown in a inhumane prison for the tiniest crime. A rich white man can pauperize charitable organizations and help sink the world economy with the most malicious Ponzi scheme in humanan history and receive white gloves treatment.

Madoff continues to live more lavishly than 99 percent of the world''s population.

What''s at the source of incredible inequality is America''s deep love of money and success by any means necessary.

The judge is acting as a co-conspirator. Madoff is worse than a drug lord. And living the life gleaned from the gravest crimes.

The judge should have ordered him to a halfway house for constant monitoring and ordered him not to get within 100 yards of any bank, all of his property and work places. All of his known assets should be seized. This man financially MURDERED hundreds of people and corporations.

[piercetheval]

...Now Man, that''s Justice!...the only kind!...the kind $$$$ can buy!!!

[culturechang]

I told you he would get away. Your crimes have to involve consensual *** in order to be locked away without bond in the current federal system.

[lochlan-2009]

Any one who is looking to kill themselves because of the money this guy stole from you. PLEASE, PLEASE don''t kill yourself. This man is more than worth the bullet you think you should swallow. Do America a favor, be an American patriot and put that bullet in this guy, PLEASE.

[martin9p2]

Madoff attempted to damage the community, succeded in damaging the community, and the judge doesn''t care. Un-be-***-lievable.

[martin9p2]

It''s time for the federal magistrate to resign for being on the take, or for even creating the impression of being on the take. Madoff can do damage to the community by simply picking up a telephone and discussing money.

[secundus2]

Reasonable "bail" is a constitutional right. No one loses that right unless he is a flight risk (in this case, Madoff is under the equivalent of "house arrest")or he is a threat to harm the community (judge Ellis thinks Madoff can''t trade and can''t touch his assets, so he can''t diminish the funds that would pay the restittution to his victims).

[surreal64]

hopefully this rat *** pays the ultimate price for his greediness.

How can he even live with himself knowing he caused people to commit suicide?? Heartless ***!!

[mycommentspg]

Just another example of how money controls judicial decisions, as with most aspects of society.

[sjbj2322]

So What!! That just means he has his wife take care of business. What about the internet? There are a lot of ''outgoing'' transactions that can be done there. Are they going to monitor his computer access? Truth be told this is absolutely ridiculous. I agree with others who note that if this were anyone else the system wouldn''t be so lax. Add to that the news that one of his foreign investors has committed suicide!! This man should be held IN JAIL for the scheme and at the very least an accessory to murder.

[credibility2]

The economic harm in allowing Madoff to continue thumbing his proverbial nose at everyone by being allowed to live in his cushy extravagant digs comes in the form of the government not having control of assets that could other wise be liquidated and distributed to his victims. Now Madoff''s family can laugh all the way to the bank.

[credibility2]

It''s interesting that Martha Stewart was villified for her piddly lying, while Madoff and others in the boy''s club have done far worse and are being allowed to virtually remain unscathed. I guess it was more important to make Stewart the example.

[sean5002]

******

Since madoff CAN''T seems to find himself in a PRISON CELL,, Can we put the JUDGES in jail instead who made these decisions.

Always amaze that someone who steal 100 dollars can find himself in jail OVER someone who steals 100 million dollars. You dont think our WORLD is MESSED up.

[art001-2009]

The judge must be on drugs or something. How can he allow a person who has committed arguably the biggest scam in history to be free on bail??
This guy needs to be locked up in max security or better yet hanged. Lowest scum of the earth...
