So what...he is 71, broke, lost everything and now he gets to live out his life all expenses paid? ALL expenses...fod, clothing, electric, medical, dental, etc?

And he did live the good life for MANY years...so how is this gonna hurt him?

and let him find a way to make money to pay for rent, food, etc.

Nah, just put him in a Gen pop prison. I'm sure there are a few people in there that will never get out, who's family he has effected.

Let them show him what it feels like to get royally screwed.

I thought it was funny when I heard his defense this morning: he should be let out one year before the end of his life expectancy so that he can enjoy life. Couldn't expect much compassion there when that would give him only a couple years, probably, and when he has already had years of enjoyment with other peoples' money.

Why all the venom, the extreme anger, at Madoff?

He didn't force anyone to do anything. He scammed people. He scammed people who had INVESTMENT dollars who sought higher than average returns on their investments. Lying and cheating is bad, so sure, but this guy, who bedazzled people seeking to be bedazzled, is drawing real hatred. Why so intense?

The federal government just broke the law and wiped out far more value in screwing over the Chrysler investors who did everything by the books and above board, not off of some tip they got at a coffee shop.

I don't get it.
