Bernie Madoff Gets 150 Years

Madoff will never see daylight again, unless it’s in a prison yard.

“I cannot offer any excuse for my behavior,” Madoff was reported to have said in court this morning. “I made a terrible mistake.”

Federal prosecutors had requested the maximum 150 year-term. Madoff’s attorney, Ira Sorkin, said his client deserved a much more lenient 12-year sentence for, in part, cooperating with authorities and citing Madoff’s limited life expectancy.

Ruth Madoff gets to keep $2.5 million in assets while giving up a claim to more than $80 million in other assets.
