rohaan: Man, they are just not fooling around anymore.
No but they're not that serious either.
Madoff's scam was running for decades.
And certainly he wasn't in on it alone.
Other people made millions.
At 71 going to prison isn't that big of a deal.
He'll be in some sort of prison old folks home.
And the sentence is a joke.
At his age he won't live more than 10 or 12 years maximum.
And his would fail just as fast out of prison as in.
But this way all the others will get off scott free by piling all the blame and all the punishment on Madoff.
It may have even been planned that way all along.
They knew somebody would have to take the blame.
Might as well be the old guy.
