you remember the deliverance movie bernie,,,ill bet you can hear the banjo's playing now,,squeal bernie...... squeal......
how ironic the name of the town where the prison is in butner. someone was thinking when they picked this location
the new york elite think the south is the pits, so soak it in bernie. i'm sure his yard name will be "refund".
Medium Security Prision?!? Humph!
Where's the Spanish Inquisition when you need it?
He should have gone to the worst prison in the federal system. Let the thieving bastard suffer for the rest of his days.
This N.Y. sleezebag has some grim days ahead, even in this facility he is not free to live his accustomed life style. A ole fashion rump ringing by one of his former clients incarcerated family could still be in the works!!
Like I've been telling everyone all along: Club Fed. Wonder how much it cost in bribes to get him there. Put him in Maximum Security where he belongs. Bet after a couple of weeks with his new roomies, he'll be singing to the feds about who all of his co-horts were... and no need to waterboard him.
Medium club fed WTF Cast him down with the sodomites!! I guess some of the money he has undoutlby sent to congress thur the years has payed off again.
This Dirtbag is worse then a murderer because he has killed so many peoples life savings and retirement. Some people will live in poverty for the rest of their lives. I'm sorry, we should have executed the bastard!!
why in the hell should this man go to a Federal prison??? he is no better (if not worse) then the young person they stick in a state prison for 15 years for stealing $20 to support a drug sickness...this man has ruined thousands of people's lives and should face the prison where he has to fight for his own life!!!!..and now his wife can continue her lifestyle in Manhatten while all those he robbed are sick at heart!!!...put him with the Enron guys, they can discuss their next "white collar" theft..
What a nutjob! He must be some kind of S&M dude to want a "new adventure" like when in the army? Either way, soon we'll not hear anymore out of this scumbag.
bernard is going to be sucking big black cock in prison!!!!!! The brothers are not going to be kind to the white meat.....
He will be miserable here gaurenteed. I live not too far from there and its not a good place to be, he will be given hell. Unfortunately still, I feel he shouldve gone to the maximum security prison.
My cousin stole $3200 dollars in 1989 and was sentenced to the toughest penitentiaries in the state. With any luck he may be out by 2020. Madoff engineered the biggest rip off in the history of the country, and gets medium ( in reality minimum ) security in the "Jewel" of the federal Prison system. Justice is not blind, she is corrupt. Who decided this and on what basis does he deserve such considerations?
Obama should name Madoff to his Cabinet... he has more experience than Obama in running a PONZI SCHEME!
I predict a massive hue & cry about this "Club Fed" for Madoff from the thousands of ripped-off clients. I know if I lost millions, I'd be furiously contacting any and all the people who decided he could have this what sounds to be a cushy new life. Maybe his life will be "tushy" instead?
I work for a legit financial firm (Our name is on the recent Super bowl Stadium) and people like him have slowed my business....positive rates of return in a down market can be achieved without thievery and dishonest behavior....Let this man go down! Too bad he gets camp snoopy!
He'll never eat grits. With his stollen money spirited away he can afford to buy anything/one he pleases in prison. People like Madoff never have bad time.
He'll catch up on TV and reading - what most old men his age do.
His wife will move to S.C. close to the prison since her portion of the stolen money won't go far in NYC. Perfect retirement plan for the both of them.
Isn't it amazing that our court system can be so concerned over the "stress" that a maximum-security prison would cause this SOB, yet there's no relief from the stress for the hundreds of victims of his con - most of which won't have the luxury of sitting in a paid for "home" and not having to worry where their next meal is coming from.
What about the stress of a retired person who now, because of this man's greed, has lost everything and finds him or herself having to try to find a job now and the retirement "dream" has been shattered.
As far as I'm concerned, ANY prison is too good for Madoff...he shoulda been put in a hole, covered over with powdered cement and well-watered!
This entire accounting is sensationalistic hype. Security levels of prisoners is assigned solely by history of violence. White collar criminals ( and most blue collar criminals - like machine shop crimes ) only see max confinement if they conspired to do violence or hire it. He was never in danger of max confinement and after a few years of medium he will be downgraded to minimum and coast through his sentence in a camp.
APPARENTLY all of you didn't catch the part about where bernard is going - he will be playing tennis before August 1 - has anyone SEEN a report of where ALL his scammed billions went ?? think about this .... SHEEEEEPLE ! ! ! it is not just another conspiracy theory either ... He probably secretly confessed to get away for the gold digging spouse !
'F him, let him rot in prison and get molested by the inmates; he deserves it. He ruined lives, show him how it feels right back. I have no sympathy in the last for scum bags like him, he's a disgrace to society and to the honest man trying to make a living.
