Hi Phil,

Wow... Surfing through your links, I came across this article. 150 years for Madoff is, of course, effectively a life sentence...

However, I found out (thanks to your links) that there have been longer sentences...

http://www.forbes.com/2009/06/24/ber...ay-madoff.html

Bernie Madoff's 150-year sentence was only the fourth-longest sentence for a "white collar" (i.e. non-violent) crime in US history...

The top 3 sentences for non-violent crimes are...

1. Shalom Weiss - 845 years. His date of release is the year 2754!

2. Keith Pound - 740 years (sentenced for the same crime as Shalom Weiss, so see the above link)

3. Norman Schmidt - 330 years

Thanks Phil... Interesting stuff...! And of course, a warning not to run a Ponzi scheme, etc. etc. etc.!

I don't know what he was thinking. Maybe "greed" is not always "good" - despite what Gordon Gekko (from the movie "Wall Street") says!

Best wishes,

Dien

Default Swindler Bernard Madoff, professor of ethics?

Go figure out Our ''extremely'' Weird world of Intelligence and people in business... Not! ...

Must be Due to the Troubled Economy, ongoing Recessions and the Never-ending Ways of Making those $$$$'s! ...A current medium of exchange in the form of coins and banknotes; coins and banknotes collectively...

I'm sure there's a Lesson or two in Learning somewhere inside of Bernard Madoff's new life! ...

Especially, if you Follow and Study particular Money making Niche related Headlines and Keyword insertions...
