#2 Ummm, the only "Plea" that has a chance is

"I'll give you all 5 million apiece to forget all about this'.

But the Dems will probably say "Too little".
Of course they might let him go if he shows them how he got away with it for so long.

(So they can too, pack of thieves all of them, but might have grudging admiration for one who outdid them)

#3 Madoff, his lovely bride, and possibly his sons and a host of others should spend the remainder of their lives in the slammer. As for the greedy rich, who let someone whisper Bernie's name in their ears at Temple and threw their entire life's savings at it.... tough egg bread. Live with it!

#4 Why does a private ponzi scheme attract such ire, when the public ponzi schemes in the form of Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare get a pass? The latest budget is also a massive ponzi scheme.

#5 Why does a private ponzi scheme attract such ire

Because he wasn't doing it "for the children"?

#6 Mrs Madoff does have a lot of money and will be claiming that it does not derive from her husband's fraud.

However, she and her kids worked in the company. They will probably be charged subsequent to getting complete post sentencing testimony from Madoff.

#8 Money given to a spouse with the purpose of hiding same, is common property. That's easy to litigate.
