“He Put the ‘Nard’ in Bernard”

Bernard Madoff, the orchestrater of the biggest ponzi scheme in history, was sentenced today to the maximum sentence of 150 years in prison. Many, including his victims felt that giving Madoff 150 years wasn’t fair, and they hope that Madoff will go to hell sooner.

The Madoff scam bilked investors, retirees, non-profits and charity organizations out of up to $65 billion. Bernie and his family lived off the money, instead of putting it into long-term investments. Today, though, Bernie finally got his long term.
