“…When he was arrested in December 2008, Madoff’s account statements reflected 4,900 accounts with $65 billion in nonexistent investments, according to Picard. Investors lost about $20 billion in principal.” ... Read moreDeath warranted Madoff ingenuity, logical explanation of this is he was very very greedy, it made him blinded. In his cell, he envies a street beggar his freedom, as a beggary much better life than Mad-off’s madness. He was doing unimaginable things imaginable way. His victims are mostly well educated well off. And years years little duck pretending a golden goose peddling on a fitly chicken soup, keep flouting without sinking, he had to smart but not smart enough to a perfect crime. Olden days in Asia or any where world that matter, traitors were exterminated “ three generations” traitor grandfather death warrens to his son and his grandson so on, completely rooted out that the way the land utter barren so that tainted seed never grow. Lots of stupid petty criminals, not smart enough covering up their stupidly.
I have deep sympathy of about certain crimes e.g. Australian first convict settlers, man, women and children had been condemn for stealing a loaf of bread or something so small. I am not saying, a hungry child goes to a shop steal a bread in here( is our adult responsibility(social moral) make sure a child is not stealing ). But white color criminals should have no mercy for their wrong doings. That kind size of stealing is not one man’s job. The level of education and involved that industry if they didn’t know what their father was doing they must stupid, the guy committed suicide was, for him easy way out. But he made his choice of his life, why people sympathize on once choice. His life he can do whatever he likes. But through before he hanged his neck at his own slaughterhouse, should hand over all the money he enriched from the wrong or pre-bargaining with the trustee of the victims. Whatever his was not his money he should have known. If he was a nobody his death unnoticed like many people jump off the West Gate bridge. Looking around million children suffering media so excited breathless coverage about a criminal’s son suicide instead not much coverage children’s’ suffering. Probably people read the suicide coverage with pleasure, rationalizing demonizing. It is a spectacle once unfortunate life because of greediness. Probably he could not get out but stuck into cooperated until the end.
Lastly you wonder teenager grandchildren should pay for his grandfather's sin? NOP, but 46 years sons who involved same company for many years, pay for his sin? YES. Especially in this case. This is my view and I am an “obstinate, stubborn or bigoted” opinionated in here.
Lastly lastly in my view criminals should not breeding, or “human hygiene” should not planted their tainted seeds or eggs in their soiled barren land.
