Madoff off for 150 years
They have put him off for the next 150 years. That is, if he can live that long. Bernard Madoff, the mastermind who robbed investors of $65 billion, has been given the maximum prison sentence of 150 years for masterminding that massive fraud. The sentencing was greeted with cheers and applause in the courtroom, while US District Judge Denny Chin described the crime as “staggering”. Though his lawyer had sought a more lenient sentence of 12 years, the same was not even listent to.
