His Ponzi scheme ruined a lot of lives.He scammed people out of their life savings. Several committed suicide. Others had to come out of retirement in their 70's, 80's & even 90's to go back to work to pay their bills.

I can't feel sorry for him . He died alone in jail .He got what he deserved.

No pity from me. I've seen a couple of very interesting documentaries of the lives he ruined, including those of his own sons. I hope he suffered. Too bad he didn't live to rot a few more years.

He wasted his own life and destroyed others. No pity from me. I feel for his victims.

Peoples' lives and some of BM's family were wasted b/c of him...not BM's. He got what he deserved.

I also think it's sad and unjust for anyone to truly suffer while in prison. But that applies to Bernie's fellow prisoners as well as to him.

@Porcelain Is there a point to this really off topic post?

The most notorious criminal to have graduated from my high school. Never mind the three Nobel Laureates who also graduated from my high school. Bernie Madoff is the most well-known alumnus, albeit notorious.

Yes. Sorry you missed it.

It was a ho hum response. Showing lack of care that someone died. The lack of affect was the point. It meant, "Oh really? Oh well."

Nice chat.

@Porcelain Well it sure did appear to be way off topic since it was so obtuse.

I'm sure you'll instruct the mods to delete it then. Have a nice day.

One of his sons committed suicide over the scam. Bernie valued his own lifestyle over the retirements and savings of the people he conned. I can't stand liars and con men.

@Porcelain FYI I have never "instructed" the mods to do anything.

@haddon9 @NicksmomESQ Theres a huge difference between being sad that he wasted his own life and being sympathetic to the people whose lives he ruined. He obviously had a lot of skill and intelligence so it's sad he didn't use it for the greater good.
