Whats crazy about 150 years if you steal $50,000,000,000 and help ruin the country?

it's not a realistic number , he's going to be dead in 20 yrs maybe 30 tops , just slap him a 50 yr sentence no parole , no need to make a point with 150 yrs , he ain't going to make it 50 yrs in the joint

yeah but its not like this is the first time... people get like 5 life in prison sentences to be served consecutavely (sp)... but unless they believe in re-incarnation I dont think they will spend 5 lifetimes in prison.

a 150 year sentence isnt even realistic for a newborn. They just do it so they cant get loopholes and leave in 5 years.

again you missed my main point and focused on the 150 yrs / crazy

my main point is that this lawyer , telling or asking the judge to only give his client 12 yrs is total comedy , i mean what lawyer can go into court and ask that this guy only get 12 yrs - on top of that someone in the lawyers family got bilked by bernie - just total comedy

12 yrs , 12 yrs !!!

12 yrs , 12 yrs !!!

i agree. he should get the death penalty. And if anyone committed suicide because of his scam (which I remember reading about one guy who did) he should get charged with murder. He's the worst kind of scum along with murderers and rapists.

I think the 150 yrs may give him a high security designation which may mean hard time in Florence or Tamms rather than dorm life in FL or MN. Give him the max and put him with the real bad guys. Nature should take its course in less than a year unless he wants to be sugar daddy to the entire population.
