this sentence sets a good precedent for the banksters at the federal reserve when they finally have their day in court.

So I can only hope you would say the same for Obama and Bush. Stimulus spending is the exact same thing - hedging. The Madoff losses were far less than you and your children will suffer.

the overselling of sub prime mortgages have had more of a negative affect on american life than anything he's done. Why all the animosity?

There are so many other player involved in this scheme. I'm not sure why Bernie isnt singing. Maybe he'll get some plea arrangement to lower the time he needs to serve (actually, it may be too late -- I think plea bargaining happens before the verdict, no?).
The Picowers are a good example of the fishiness in this case. They're being portrayed as victims with a good cause (their foundation). But the article below claims that they took out $5 billion more than they invested. Picower told Madoff how much he was to get in return for his money. In one of those years one of Picower's accounts had a gain of 950%.

I think you're going to see a "madoff dies of stroke/cancer/heartattack/etc. in jail!" tagline in a year's time. He and the govt. will fake his death, just like they did Ken Lay, and he be sipping margaritas on some small island somewhere. Guys like this dont just put out their hands and go to prison till death
