Such action is contrary to the first principal of investing that every child learns from their parents. I sympathize to some degree, but feel that many victim were ignoring obvious signs that things were just too good to be true. To me this means there was a certain complicity in their silence.

Does US law favor rich swindler families? I think they should string him up over Wall Street by his heels and let the victims beat him until they are happy! why does Madoff’s wife get to keep two point five million dollars of investors money?

For those that ask where did it ALL go, there was no ALL to begin with, the nature of the scam. the accomplice, his wife? Why is she not getting time? And if no time then put into the streets with zero money. None belongs to her-return to those from which she too stole. Finally, those who partook, they are semi-culpable for their own greed - but they have suffered from their transgressions and have received their respective sentences. 125 years-good-and all the money too.

This is ridiculous! According to this precedent, a spouse of every bank robber could keep a part of the loot when the robber is busted. Ruth Madoff can keep 2.5 million. This is ridiculous!

But what about the idiots who blindly invested with him and never bothered to check into the legitimacy of their investements. It's very easy to do. These so-called "investors" have more of mom and dad's money than they have sense. They need to spend a little time in prison for being stupid. After all, the scam could never have happened if investors were wise. As far as them getting their money back, it's buyer beware, and they weren't. I can easily say that I will never ever lose money in a ponzi scheme. This is not rocket science folks. Yes, he’s guilty.
