Is it true the Madoff Judge lost some of his own money in the fraud?

[Humanist]

150 years for a bit of what Wall Street has been doing for years is a Joke Right? Not even SERIAL KILLERS get that many years.

Just goes to show in our society property means more than human life.

What money? it's not like he had a job flipping burgers before he swindled everyone out of their money. all his money was other people's money.

If that were true the Judge would have had to recuse him or herself for a conflict of interest.

Given the size of the fraud I think that 150 years is appropriate.

I think that this also shows that we do not give enough time to serial killers.

Violent criminals need to get many more years in prison than they do now.

Most violent criminals should be in prison for life. They should never get out.
