Throw away the key.

 

Did he feel sadness, sympathy for his victims?  We know the 

answer.

Why do people want to see others suffer.  Justice does not equal revenge.  Justice has been served, he will not harm anyone else, let him die in peace at home if he wishes.

Someday, when scientists discover the center of the Universe....some people will be disappointed it is not them.

Bernie Madoff's attorney is seeking compassionate release from prison for him. He claims Bernie is suffering from renal failure and has less than 18 months to live. Bernie's sentence for bilking people out of their money is so long that he wouldnt get out of prison during his lifetime without being granted compassionate.release.

If he really is dying, do you think he should be released?

He caused his Sons to take their lives.....he is just a murder by another name as well as a crook.

In a word, NO.  The people who lost their savings will live the rest of their lives and die without any "compassionate release."

ITA.

Has there been a documentary or book about the victims?

A 'where are they now' compilation.

I would like to hear the victims side of this.

The difference is the amount of taxpayer dollars. No matter where he is he will receive SS and Medicare but keeping him in prison will cost much more than if he were released.

 

I think losses should be cut and he should be released.
