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.”

I don't think it just showed up in other countries. I think it was immigration, Even as much as they deny it. I think they are saying that to prevent panic.

Fyre Fest Promoter Billy McFarland Ordered to Pay More Than $3 Million to Former Investor

But only to one invester? A sponsor of the event. Should be all! Why isn't it?!

Not surprising. In the U.S. there are approximately 900,000 missing persons reported every year. That's one every 4 seconds. There are over 40,000 unidentified bodies. They both baffle me when they never find someone and that there are so many unidentified like no one cared to look for these people.

Yeah, and out of those 900,000 about 899,000 can be found in the Vegas desert.

And they weren't killer bees. They are in Texas and the south and making their way slowly north. The worst thing you can do is away at bees, Freak out and run around. They get further attracted to adrenaline. I'm allergic to bees, But I was only stung as a kid when apparently wasn't allergic. I was sitting down at our picnic table and sat on one. ( _ I _ ) OW!!! MOOOOOMMMM!!!!
