bernie madoff

Don't know where else to put this, and may the Mods feel free to relocate... The Worlds biggest ripoff artist is dead at 82, and somehow, the world is a little better today. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/14/bernie-madoff-dies-mastermind-of-the-nations-biggest-investment-fraud-was-82.html

On the anniversary of his father's arrest Bernie has lived to see his son buried, and to know that it's his own fault.

Why didn't the SEC or somebody (FBI? Eliot Spitzer?) catch Madoff when there was a whistleblower who tipped them off? I have to admit that the whistleblower does seem a little bit loopy, but apparantly he was absolutely right.

50 billion dollars is the equivilent of 3 years worth of common city crimes committed in America. But I bet he receives a lighter sentence than one might get robbing a 7 11 store. You can kill someone 3 ways physically emotionally, and financially, but only one has a penalty resulting in death.
