Investment swindler Bernie Madoff gets 150 years
Bernard Madoff has been sentenced to 150 years in prison for ripping off investors and even friends to the tune of $65 billion. U.S. District Judge Denny Chin handed down the maximum sentence. The 71-year-old Madoff had pleaded guilty in March to 11 counts of being a complete asshole. His Ponzi scheme holds the world record for the largest investor fraud ever committed by a single person.

Why are you reporting on this story? It's not tech or raw...
Wow...150 years. That's crazy.
It's kinda meaningless tho - won't there still be endless appeals and such? When will he actually begin parking his ass in a cell? And even when that does happen, will it be the same prison where common criminals go or some white-collar, minimum-security stint?
The legal definition of justice may have served, but it doesn't feel as though much was accomplished.
