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 airport is next to the area he left the road so his phone pinging there isn't strange and it's also being said that it was very stormy/rainy that night. Also possibly inebriated. His job is selling liquor, so I'd take my chances and say he drinks when he goes out. In the google street view, you can see where there have been multiple accidents in that very spot. He also would have had to get off the turnpike to actually go to the airport, itself, There is no record of him getting off of the turnpike.

I meant he met with foul play.

I don't believe he did. I think he slid off the road or totally missed that curve. You don't have to lose traction if you just simply go straight off the road. I wonder if tox will find he was under the influence or if telemetrics from his phone will tell us he was doing something on it at that point.

I don't believe that he was ever "at" the airport.

I thought the airport was much farther away.
 
Yes, he only reigned for two years before he was killed in battle at the age of 32 so i don't follow what is your point exactly.
Makes no sent to me either. He must be thinking it was born and died in those two years or some such. It wasn't what it said though.
 
Not sure what you mean. He became King but was killed in the Wars of the Roses.

Ahhhhh... missed the "Was King" part.

I kinda thought so. It was the only thing that made your remark makek any sense. How could he have ever been king though if he was two when he died?

Anyhow, meant lightly, we have all had our gaffe lol, some more than others lol.

I don't put you in the same realm as the costumed bears with shredding meat claws at least. So there's that, take heart. :D

All in fun.
 
LOL you thought he went to battle at age 2, i see.
LOL. Yeah he kind of missed on that one, a mini mo mightywarrior who died at the tender age of two... Since the one year was his death I figured he just assumed it was birth to death years and of course he thought it was a mistake.

A good chuckle out of it anyhow.

And I can see why anyone would think reporting made an error, happens darned often enough.

Went to bed at 9:30 (smart and early enough for an early schedule today, intending to sleep until 3:30 and get like six hours and hoping I wouldn't oversleep. Woke up before alarm and thought good, (early starts/shifts are not my thing) only to find out it was 1:30 a.m., so up early enough but up after four hours of sleep and not much sleep. These shift changes are the hardest thing about this job, they are all over the place and there is no decent sleep pattern and just getting through the holiday season the next two months is going to take a lot, it's already been pretty brutal.

So I've got some time for once or at least no rushed for a bit here (be tired as heck by the end of today and another early one tomorrow) but psheesh is there little going on. Not finding much on either. And ya know, I could get some things done and make some calls but not at 2:18 now in the morning as no one else is up and such aren't business hours lol. Can't win. On Black Friday I have a 5:30 a.m. YUCK. Going to lunch that day with a friend from work or we are going going to try that day, a late lunch when we are done at 2, hopefully won't be too nuts ut there. Both have to work the next day. She gets mainly 5 a.m. start shifts and such are kicking her butt. We keep trying to do lunch but our shifts are always different.

Just yakking, it's dark, will be dark when I have to leave or still close to it. At least my earliest are like 7 or 7:30 other than Black Friday but they NEVER used to give me early mornings. I trade working EVERY single weekend for some things like that, no early shifts for instance. Well, that's not happening any longer. Again oh well.

Anyhow Black Friday messes up my schedule that week too and then which I tried to ask for and avoid,I go into a SIX day work stretch to get back on track. Then we have our family's Christmas, etc. NO time at all through the holidays sigh. Then that week I only get one day off for a two week stretch until back to my usual days off.

It's dark, it's quiet, and so just filling some waking up time at way too early. I'll be ready for a nap about the time I have to leave... :(

Listening to something on the Soto case and that's about it. Good channel but nothing overly new. Did see some new stuff on it in the last week though.

And so I'm looking at things about some king that died when he was two lol. Not. :D

I'll tell you something funny about Black Friday. Well the UK shops got onto this kick a few years ago and also started doing Black Friday sales and sh!t but of course we don't have a Thanksgiving day in the UK so the Black Friday salesin November just has everyone confused as heck here. It's meaningless. We have no public holidays from the end of August until Christmas Day so really Black Friday for us should be the last Friday before Christmas Day. The dimwits.
