ONGOING CRIME BREAKING NEWS!

Starting in January 2020, this thread is about the news as it breaks!


Bernard Madoff says he is dying and is asking a judge for compassionate release from prison, where he is serving 150 years for orchestrating the largest Ponzi scheme in history, according to a Wednesday federal court filing.

Madoff, 81, has terminal kidney failure and a life expectancy of less than 18 months. When the court sentenced him, “it was clear that Madoff’s 150-year prison sentence was symbolic for three reasons: retribution, deterrence, and for the victims,” the court filing states. “This Court must now consider whether keeping Madoff incarcerated … is truly in furtherance of statutory sentencing goals and our society’s value and understanding of compassion.”

Madoff said in the request for compassionate release that he “does not dispute the severity of his crimes.”


IMO- stay in jail

I saw this a couple days ago. He directed some great movies. He was involved with some famous women. The weird situation one is he was seeing Dorothy Straton when she was murdered by her estranged husband and he went on to marry her sister. Kind of creepy.
 
Not sure if we have a thread for this yet but they think they have a 5th victim of the serial killer they are calling the Shopping Cart Killer.

This would be a good thread.

Interesting using a shopping cart. I don’t know if he was homeless but that's a good way to blend in with a body.

Very true. No GPS, etc. either or vehicle they'd be looking for on surveillance, etc. I do wonder the reason, like homelessness or necessity or just trying to stay off the "radar" of the victims and LE.
 
He used the Plenty of Fish dating app. He also used they believe the "Tagged" dating app. They are meeting with other LE agencies to go over tons of cases to see if they may tie to this man. Etc. I suspect more killings will be tied to this guy...
 
Oh well


Feel free to do whatever is deemed best of course. Im not used to starting threads.
I'll leave it up to @SheWhoMustNotBeNamed because she knows more about the site content than I do. So, I just referred it to her to determine where it should go.

It looks fine to me however if it gets move she'll advise accordingly.

I'm just asking due to lack of knowledge. Are we supposed to get permission to start threads? I'll hold off adding content to this new one until a decision is made. :)
 
They are still looking for help from the public, to know more about him and his context and movements and looking into more possible victims per the PC. They are relieved he is behind bars and caught but in no way sure they know of all victims yet.
 
I don't understand why this case isn't bigger news. It doesn't seem to be and they are still wanting the public's help or anyone with knowledge of him, etc. I am surprised more YTers aren't covering it etc. as it is an ongoing and developing case. I think press conferences on news channels are more likely to be seen by older folk and not the ones that would be on dating apps who may have info. I think online passing on the info would be better to reach people who may have connected on social media with this guy or on dating apps. Id' be interested in following it and hope to have the time.
 
Did he even get to prison?? It's usually not immediate even after sentencing.

Part of me wants to think this is fishy... I tend to have those thoughts pop into my head when it's someone rich or power or with influential connections...

One thing is for sure, he certainly didn't get near the justice he deserved to serve on this earth.
