It's a shame there's not a way to keep him alive for 150 years and make sure he serves all of it. What a scumbag.

Shame so many folks got so greedy, that they didn't look before they lept. He deserves what he got, but those that invested knew there had to be some risk. There is never a free lunch, not even at McSorley's Old Ale House on the lower East Side.

Walt, I agree, however I would say they got what they deserved... poorer. Bernie and his family made millions, most of which will never be seen again. Just because the feds made him give up all his "assets" doesn't make me think for a minute that they didn't get away with a LOT. He's still a scumbag of the highest order.
