I hate when they give out dumb sentences like that. Just say "life in prison".

Then there's the 4 life sentences that was handed out once. Just shoot them.

Kind of yesterday's news...

Anyway, I don't feel any sympathy for the man, he colossally screwed people and deserves it, IMO.

Well I think they do that for a number of reasons. The first I can think of would be if he appealed one of the charges and was found innocent, they still have three other life sentences to play with.

150 years? Right. He'll probably get out in 80.

Madoff's sentence was not the longest for a white-collar criminal. New York businessman Sholam Weiss, 55, was sentenced in February 2000 to 845 years in prison for his role in a plot that skimmed $400 million from an insurance company, costing many of its 25,000 customers their life savings. The government lists his release date as Nov. 23, 2754.

Lol, really now?

He should take a ride in the Bre-X helicopter.
