MOmule–Don’t blame me. It was a cut-and-paste from the NY Times–as is clearly noted (so you have to read more carefully also!) : )

Your prognostication skills are simply off the charts.

“Bernard Madoff, after being charged with 11 counts for allegedly running Wall Street’s biggest Ponzi scheme, now faces up to 150 years in prison when he pleads guilty tomorrow, officials said yesterday.”

He’s going to die in prison. That’s almost close to “gets off with a plea deal.” Make sure you keep us informed of what you think signs are pointing to in the future.

LD, isn’t this what happened this past election cycle? And no one willing to prosecute while the perp sits in the WH enjoying the perks of the job. Madoff is disgusting so is That One.

If a guy is at the root of the crime and gets a plea deal, there must be a lot he is trading.

Guess I’m just spoiled with living on flat land.

LOL, SoCalDem.

If you want *really* flat land, try the panhandle of Texas. If you look out far enough, you can see the back of your own head.

Every time I need to renew a license or do just about anything connected with the government, I have to show proof in the form of a birth certificate with a raised seal, a driver’s license, proof of my residence in the form of utility bills or some other government-addressed mail, and sometimes my old Geneva Convention Card (Department Of-Defense-issued).

My family has been in this country since the early 1700s and I have to document MY life practically in its entirety. I think I’ll start using my Spanish or fractured german and play dumb from now on. I might cut about a half-hour on my dealings with bureaucrats and cut the paperwork by 3/4.

I think we need to work to get a bunch of these people out of office. Pelosi for sure. I wish I could move to her district to vote her out. San Francisco is to cold for me, and to hilly. Guess I’m just spoiled with living on flat land.

Do you think he hasn’t already got a plea bargain?

Should that plea bargain result in the arrest and conviction of others involved in his money laundering, among other things, then I’m OK by it. We need to get ALL these crooks.

This was a purposeful decision

Reward bad behavior and punish god behavior for only so long before people just give up. Reminds me of the treatment of POW’s… making them dig a hole and fill it up only to dig it again the next day… to break the spirit. Except of course… in this case, we are throwing people in a hole… watching them dig their way out… only to throw them back in and dump dirt on them all over again. The socialist left means to break the spirit of good hard working Americans. If it doesn’t work… there will be a price to be paid.

Tricia – read the NYT article more carefully. Headline says he will plead guilty to charges that COULD not WILL result in life in prison! Do you think he hasn’t already got a plea bargain?
If you are going to announce something – get it right!! If I sound like Old Grumpy Guy – that’s because I am old Grumpy Gal, old enough to know that the Bernie Madoffs of this world will roll over on the “number of individuals” mentioned in LD’s article.
I am still waiting for news on Tony Rezko!

He certainly deserves life + 1 day.

I like it. Must be a math major.

And he should have to surrender ALL his assets — foreign and domestic, over this. Everything should be seized and distributed, pro rata, to those he cheated. That’s just for starters.

You’re spot on–but IF the public puts enough pressure on the government, our elected officials might just find a way to set a few examples.
