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

The settlements in this case are 🐮 :poop: . I'm positive that if an extensive accounting of the profits made from the opioid crisis vs. what they ended up paying is a fraction of the profits they made.

And I can't get them, And I desperately need them. I didn't create the problem. But I suffer from it. All of you that know me know how many injuries I have had and the pain I have. Every...Single...Day.
 
Is this the right thread for international breaking news?

Anyway, news of a terrible football stadium disaster in Indonesia. Over a hundred dead. Warning that it may have graphic scenes.


This place is good for that, I think. @Kimster or another mod could verify that.


I saw that in the news and it's horrifying.

:cry:
 
What a great sentence. Not just a slap on the hand. What an ignorant moron. She wasn't even Asian. Idiot!
17 years? He is only lucky one blow or the culmination of them wasn't fatal. He had 125 times to decide to stop doing it. I think 17 years is a joke.
 
The leader is going to use a novel defence.
