Yes.  He'll be released when he's approximately 225 years old.  200 for good behavior :)

This is meaningless.  What needs to happen is his family has to give up every penny they have back to the investors and get real jobs.

Madoff was going to rot in prison for the rest of his days anyway.

I thought that was reserved for Time Lords.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

@ Valmy: There was a judgment against him and his wife on Friday that effectively said precisely that.

Admit it Cal, you do the same thing in his shoes.

By that time, his ill-gotten gains hidden from the gov't will have multiplied by virtue of compount interest to such an extent he will rule us like unto an immortal god.

He's already been stripped of all his property. A well deserved sentence in my opinion.

QuoteThe jailed Madoff already has taken a severe financial hit: Last week, a judge issued a preliminary $171 billion forfeiture order stripping Madoff of all his personal property, including real estate, investments, and $80 million in assets his wife Ruth had claimed were hers. The order left her with $2.5 million.

The terms require the Madoffs to sell a $7 million Manhattan apartment where Ruth Madoff still lives. An $11 million estate in Palm Beach, Fla., a $4 million home in Montauk and a $2.2 million boat will be put on the market as well.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Pity.

Only in Manhattan could you find an apartment worth $7 million.  I mean at least it should be a condo.

:yes:

Those of Germanic heritage prefer world-domination plans involving massive invasions and massacres, not financial diddling.

Though some go in for world domination plans involving scat porn, those are much less likely to be successful.

That just means you'd be caught quicker.

What would have been amusing is if he stood up and said, "okay, you caught me. it was worth it though--i lived my life off of ill gotten gains as one of the wealthiest people in the country and the tradeoff of spending my last few elderly years in the pen isn't so bad."

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)
