I can just imagine his letter back to his residence…
*Dear Penthouse,
I never thought this would happen to me but…*
Waitjustagoddaminute! He embezzles how much and he gets rewarded by being given an easy job preparing fresh greens in the cafeteria!
Oh, wait . . .
Bernard Madoff does deserve worse than death of old age in prison, but his rape wouldn’t do anything to redress the wrongs he committed.
All of his assets should be seized, every last penny.
He should be worked like a dog, 16 hours a day, and not given any medical care. He should be fed grass from the prison yard. If he wants water, perhaps we can rent him a shovel to dig a well for it. Should these conditions prove detrimental to his health, to the point where he can no longer work, then we should harvest any of his body parts that might be useful to others, or saleable. (For non-essential organs or appendages, there is no real need to wait until his imminent death.)
They’ll be penniless in a matter of weeks. “Fifty billion to nothing. Your move.”
Who is Bernard Madoff and why are people saying such bad things about him?*
I guess it would help if I watched TV, read the news, or kept up with current events, eh?
*I’m not joking either, this is the first I’ve heard of that name, but I was just joking about asking who he is, I don’t really care that much.
Bernie Madoff used to be the chairman of Nasdaq. A few months ago he was charged with (and admitted to) a massive Ponzi scheme that defrauded clients in the neighborhood of $50 to $65 billion dollars. He pleaded guilty on Thursday in federal court and is currnetly incarcerated awaiting sentencing, which could be up to 150 years in prison.
Would that it came to pass---- but sadly, during all the time he was committing fraud, money laundering, and perjury, robbing billions of dollars and destroying untold lives, Mr. Madoff evidently neglected to transact with an undercover cop for a nickel bag of ditchweed.
Ohhh. Thank you for telling me.
That does sound pretty bad.
Only if you get caught. Until then it’s pretty awesome.
(Sophomoric humor on my side apart, yeah, it was really bad. Individuals and charitable foundations were ruined. One investor comitted suicide.)
