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 know that I buy it is the shame they claim in cases like this. It seems to me it would possibly gain them money (life insurance), a kid and wife free life and only themselves to take care of, a cover of their selfish actions (that's not shame, that's not wanting to get caught) and sympathy from others Not that their stupid plan usually works but I don't doubt it is the goal. The part that is missing here too is where did the money go and why did he have them in financial straits and near to homelessness? Spending on some vice of his own?

It definitely shows that some people have built their lives upon lies and will do anything to protect those lies, no matter the lie.

Very true. We see it a lot. If I had time I could even name many as we all could.

I do think at times a self serving element goes with it though. Oh mom and dad know I am not in school any longer and there goes my free meal ticket, spending money, cell phone bill paid, car taken but IF I kill them... My lies are covered, no one will know, I will get sympathy and all they own will be mine...

Just one example...

Not sure what I think of this. It has been some years but I watched the doc where she talked and no one can deny it was some messed up existence with her mom raising her EVEN if one doesn't believe all. She seemed to have her head on pretty straight in the show but I still didn't think she merited release then. If she has continued though to cause no trouble and just better herself, I'm just not sure. I'm generally always tough sh*t murder is always wrong and it IS but somehow I don't think she'd reoffend. She only received ten years anyhow and they let far worse out on far longer sentences. She really should have to serve the ten but it's never the case for anyone else either... She did PLAN this and should have had a longer sentence to begin with but, it doesn't excuse it at ALL and I hate to say it, but her mom was not a victim one could easily sympathize with either. It still doesn't make murder right but what she did to her daughter was not all right either.

What are your thoughts?
