Madoff in freer times
Our favorite Ponzi schemer and new recipient of a Really Bad Boss Lifetime Achievement Award was sentenced to 150 years in prison today. Our only disappointment with the sentence is that Madoff will die pretty early into it, won’t be able to really experience the joys of prison life, and won’t actually get to see his award. His wife in the meantime, has forfeited a reported $80 million assets, leaving her with a paltry $2.5 million. Our heart goes out to her.
One of the worst things about Madoff and his wife is that, with the exception of a canned statement today during sentencing, they haven’t expressed any real remorse over what they’ve done. In fact, Mrs. Madoff insists she’s “betrayed and confused” by her husband’s actions.
The sociopathic pair not only robbed and lied to individual investors, but they also scammed charity organizations, close friends and family members. Even their own children aren’t talking to them. If sociopathic behavior over a span of decades doesn’t qualify you for a Really Bad Boss Lifetime Achievement Award, I don’t know what does.
