Prosecutors: Madoff was ready to send out $173M

Put him away for a long long time.

Any different from the greatest ponzi scheme ever inflicted upon the citizens of this once great country known as Social Security Insurance?

The sad fact is, Americans have known about this bloated, outdated, and completly unsustainable piggybank for corrupt politicins for decades.

Guess what? The bill's coming due.

i think he should be put on a suicide watch

He defrauded investors of billions and now he and his lawyers argue that he isn't a danger to the community?

Petty thiefs get thrown in jail for stealing an Ipod and this guy is on the lose?

Throw him in jail and freeze all of his assests; that's the only way anybody expect his closest family and friends will ever see a dime of the money he swindled from them.
