...the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), announced that Bernard L. Madoff was sentenced today in Manhattan federal court to 150 years in prison for perpetrating a Ponzi scheme that resulted in billions of dollars of losses to thousands of investor-victims.

As part of his sentence, Madoff, 71, was also ordered to forfeit a total of $170,799,000,000, which represents the total proceeds of and property involved in certain of Madoff's crimes.


The guy is scum, and putting an actual number out there is probably better for the victims than "life" or "multiple life" sentences... But it just sounds so ridiculous, not exactly a slap on the wrist, but it's not like the guy is 25 years old, he's closer to death than youth that's for sure... So who's betting that he will use legal trickery to delay any of that $170.8 BILLION (!) payback from getting to his victims before he croaks... or is killed...
