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.

The only difference between Madoff's scam and Gore's scam is that a lot of politicians stand to gain considerably from Gore's scam.

100% serious. Let's see, you're in NE so you won't have to worry about rising sea levels but you will have to find something that will grow at 140 degrees if global warming hits the tipping point.

If he winds up in Marion IL or Leavenworth KS Federal Prison I doubt he will last very long. This is a man who's been accustomed to living the life of a Billionaire. Hard time will be a lot harder on him than it would on some gang banger or repeat offender like Charlie Manson.

I am happy with the sentence he got. I think his wife should be next and any other family and co-worker who was involved in destroying all these people's lives.
