Comments on: Madoff Slammed With 150-Year Sentence

Convicted Scam Artist Gets Maximum Sentence; Says He'll Live With "Torment For The Rest Of My Life"

That's an interesting idea! It's hard to say what might happen between now and the end of his term; but, I'd say he probably will "go downhill" like
most other recent presidents, so I doubt he'll want to go down in history as having given a pardon to one of history's all-time biggest scammers!

Lets put this into light. Stallworth gets 30 days for killing a man and everyone is cheering because Madoff gets 150 years for taking so toys away from a bunch of trust fund babies??? What have you all become??? Boo Hoo If you beat in the markets and you lose too bad you should have known better no one needs to go to jail because some rich snobs lost a little money. I guess money is more important then human life!! The worst part is half of you will go to Praise God on Sat. or Sun. and think your good people. Get a grip. The man didn't kill anyone he just took thier money. Half the people he took the money from steal from us everyday of our lives and they don't go to jail for it!! Even our own government steals from us and we pay them to do that. Live and Let Live!! This just goes to prove that our goverment only works for the rich the rest of us mean nothing!! I guess we should be thankful if they don't lock us up for being too poor. O thats right there are millions of people in jail for that too. The Land Of The Laws and the Home of the Slaves. O no they lost their house!! Ha least they had a house!!

Well, NO, as usual you seem to be forgetting much of the FACTS! The republicans had KILLED this bill already a year before Clinton went back to Congress and INSISTED ON IT. Seems Clinton got his butt in a crack because he let Citibank and Travelers and another investment group MERGE! Which was AGAINST THE LAW! HE wanted the de-regulation bill...and he wouldn't back off the CRA, which was why the republicans killed it the year before. You can thank William Jefferson Clinton, who INSISTED on the de-regulation bill, who went to Congress and negotiated it, and who, in fact, signed it into law. All to cover his behind!!!!! ...

Thank you, friend, for once again demonstrating that you don't know what
the 'H' you've talking about! YOU SAY, 'Clinton let Citibank & Travelers and another investment group merge which was against the law'! Hey,
bright boy, I got news for you! Under OUR system of government, Clinton doesn't MAKE the law(s), HE signs them into law! Therefore, HE couldn't
do what YOU say he did! BUT, your friendly Republicans in Congress were more than happy to de-regulate the industry, THEY are the ones who wanted it, under THEIR TERMS, and they got it! You are correct in that
Clinton signed it into law, though!

STOP spinning the truth, bright boy! And try reporting the REAL facts
for a change! You're not fooling that many people on this board!

This guy is in his 70's....I wouldn't say he was "slammed" with a 150 year sentence. He won't live to see more than 20 of those years.

Every penny this guy has left must be taken from him...even his social security payments should be garnished.
