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.

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

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.

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

@NicksmomESQ You said it succinctly!  I don't feel bad for him at all!

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

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

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

AMEN.

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.

@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.
