@San Antonio Gal  I wrote complicit meaning that, while not guilty, they chose to disregard red flags and invested anyway.

Some even invested all their savings. It is common sense 101 never to gamble more than you can afford to lose. It's akin to stranger danger warnings, some accept and some ignore..

This logic is if someone murdered an entire family,

was tried, conviced & sentenced to 150 years, 

then released the killer...

all while justifying the killer's actions because

the dead family left their door unlocked.

Madoff need to pay for his crimes.

Your analogy is more like having one's bank account hacked because of a weak password. Mine was more like a member of the family inviting a questionable person, who turns out to be a killer, into their home.

Madoff didn't hack their account and steal their money, they handed it over to him, an invitation.

Can't believe people support Bernie Madoff's crime.

People above the law kinda/sorta think this way.

Just a head's up.

No one gets away with crime.

She did say they were complicit, which means they chose to be involved in an illegal or questionable act.

All predatory minded thieves share a common belief, that foolish people deserve to be stolen from.

To say he didn't kill anyone might be quite speculative. Who knows how many more bone marrow transplants could have been given with the 1.8 million dollars that was lost ,due to Madoff's thievery?

[occasionalrain]

@San Antonio Gal  Yes, they should have questioned the promised return on their investment and opted for a more reasonable, conservative rate of return. They should have considered that to get that return something illegal, perhaps immoral, was likely involved.

They shouldn't have risk money that wasn't theirs and, if lost, others would suffer that loss, not them.

I have never excused Madoff, he deserved a jail term. I only recommenced releasing him now that he's dying because it's the right thing to do and save tax payers the exorbitant cost of keeping him in prison.
