It's About Freaking Time!

According to the New York Times, Bernie Madoff was finally thrown in the slammer after he plead guilty to multiple charges. He was responsible for stealing billions of dollars from his clients. He sent them fake statements every month so that they wouldn't be suspicious of any wrongdoings. After the news leaked that Madoff had actually stolen billions of dollars from his clients, a number of them committed suicide because all of a sudden, they had nothing left. Now I'm not saying that Madoff is responsible for the decisions these people made, but it just shows how extremely screwed up our government and judicial system are when this man's punishment for months was to be on house arrest in his multi-million dollar home above Central Park in NYC even though he was solely responsible for destroying the lives of many. As far as I'm concerned, they can throw the keys to his jail cell in the Hudson.
