Like there was really any doubt they were going to throw the book at him...

And the people who lost all their money get.... what?

This is just a sad story of an evil man.

HA, the first time an emoticon face made me laugh :thumbup:

I wonder what kind of special treatment/deals he'll get in a Fed prison

He won't last long

They get to see his family live with their millions of dollars. The guy lived like a king til the age of 71. Think he gives a fuck about a few years in jail? He won.

I am glad this happened and hope the fed can recover a good part of the money from his estate.

[TheMojoPin]

Why are you guys so anti-success?

This man is an American hero.

Godspeed Bernie

We hardly knew ya....

I bet he does not serve the entire sentence.

There's not a day goes by I don't feel regret. Not because I'm in here, or because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then: a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try and talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I can't. That kid's long gone and this old man is all that's left. I got to live with that. Rehabilitated? It's just a bullshit word. So you go on and stamp your form, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don't give a shit.

FREE BERNIE!

I don't know, I think it's kind of a waste to lock him up. It ends up costing us as taxpayers to house and feed him, and provide him with medical care. I think I would have rather seen him get permanent community service where he had to provide accounting services to non-profit organizations and confine him to a residence. And he should have been forced to pay back every single penny that he stole.

[IamFogHat]

I hope he gets raped so viciously that nation wide we all hear the *pwut pwut* sounds heard in in the shower rape scene in American History X.

[spankyfrank]

I bet he'll get out in 110 years

If he could be trusted to provide accounting services, he probably wouldn't be in this mess. His wife's getting to keep a cool 2 mil too. Maybe congress can enact a new law to tax it at 100%.

Ex-con: Bernie won’t be too popular behind bars (http://amfix.blogs.cnn.com/2009/06/30/ex-con-bernie-wont-be-too-popular-behind-bars/)

Levine: Well, he was in a detention center. … He’s had a little taste of custody, but now he’s going to be living in a cell, which is going to be his permanent home and this man who lived in a penthouse for years is going to be living basically out of a two-foot by four-foot wall locker. That’s where all of his personal items are going to be stored and he’s going to be subject to being counted several times a day, possibly strip-searched. He’s not going to have any privacy, and he’s probably going to be terrified for his life because people are going to want to get to him.

Chetry: Is he going to be among “hardened criminals”? Is he going to be serving with other people who committed non-violent crimes, meaning white collar?

Levine: I did a custody classification score on him… He really should be in a camp. He really should be in minimum custody, but the problem is, again, the dollar loss. Because of his dollar loss, they’re putting a management variable on him. He’s going to go to a medium. And he’s going to come in contact with people that are bank robbers, killers, rapists and gang members. He’s going to be in an extremely dangerous environment and he’s going to be serving time with other people that have life sentences. Those people don’t have an out date either. So if things jump off, they’re not going to hesitate to do something to Bernie. They don’t care. What can you possibly do to somebody who is serving a life that’s not getting out anyway? Nothing.

Good.

A valuable life lesson.

I got fishing lures and towels from his place.

When you read past the headline you find that Ruth's agreement doesn't shield her from lawsuits or other government agencies. This "cool" 2.5 mil is gonna be gone in about ten minutes. Between legal claims, IRS actions and State Attorneys general she'll be lucky to have enough money left to buy from the dollar menu at wendy's
