NEW YORK--Historic swindler Bernard Madoff was sentenced to 150 years in prison Monday for a fraud so extensive that the judge said he needed to send a symbolic message to potential imitators and to victims who demanded harsh punishment.

Why only 150 years and not 1,500?

I don't support the wrong but what puzzles me is why could the American "LAW" suddenly convict this man while the really big guys still get away with much worse and evil crimes. Just shows how braindead the public has become. The Governments and large corporations have been doing much worse to the world and have been getting away with it for centuries because they own the media and brainwash the public into believing what they do is right. They abuse this situation to their advantage once again just because they don't need this man. - SICK
